Introduction. The surgical procedure of stomy has a very long history. However, the creation of stoma causes a number of negative effects on both the emotional and physical well-being. Patients have to accept change in appearance of their own bodies and loss of control over elimination of intestinal waste.

The aim of the publication. The analysis of the impact of control of emotions on the quality of life satisfaction in people with formed stoma.

Material and methods. The study was conducted among 100 participants who had formed stoma. During the study, the self-assessment Quality of Life Satisfaction Questionnaire (SWLS) and Emotional Control Assessment Questionnaire (CECS) were used.

Results. The stoma is viewed by the participants as a source of negative emotions. Typically, participants perceived their life as not satisfactory and revealed a clear tendency to suppress negative emotions. The support of medical staff as well as family plays a tremendous role in taking care of individuals with formed stoma.

Conclusions. The level of life satisfaction has no significant effect on the suppression of negative emotions such as anger, anxiety and depression.
