It is a common surgical method for cancer, which can save and prolong the life of patients. Intestinal stoma patients not only bring inconvenience to life, but also have physical and psychological problems such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, and dyspnea, which seriously affect normal social activities. Therefore, attention should be paid to both physical and mental care of stoma patients. Family resilience refers to the support of family members to help patients get out of the plight of illness. Dual support and coping theory refers to the mutual support between patients and their main caregivers to achieve a stable relationship between family members and to jointly cope with the disease process. Quality of life is especially important. This article reviews the psychological characteristics of patients with enterostomy based on family resilience and dual support coping, aiming to provide reliable theoretical knowledge and nursing programs for postoperative physical and mental recovery of patients with enterostomy.
