Methods: Published literature on psychological pain in enterostomy patients was retrieved from Chinese and English databases, including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, China Biomedical Network, PubMed, Embase, Ovid, and Web of Science. The search period covered the establishment of the databases until October 2024. Literature was screened based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and its quality was evaluated. Data analysis was performed using R Studio software. Results: A total of 2,237 articles involving 1,221 patients with enterostomy and 11 influencing factors were identified. The results of the meta-analysis indicated that age, marital status, ostomy complications, self-care ability, pain severity, and sleep quality were the primary contributors to psychological distress. Conclusion: Multiple factors influence psychological pain in enterostomy patients. Medical staff should prioritize addressing these factors to alleviate psychological pain and enhance patients’ quality of life.
