Abstract Colorectal cancer is the third most common malignant neoplasm in men and the second in women. Its specific treatment should be the surgical resection of the affected place and an ostomy, which interferes in the quality of life (QoL), and affects the biopsychosocial-spiritual dimensions. The objective of this study was to describe the scientific evidence about people with definitive intestinal ostomy due to colorectal cancer and the repercussions for the QoL of these people. Methods: integrative review with five databases, with a temporal cut between 2012 and 2017. From the analysis of the collected data, three categories emerged that greatly compromise the QoL: physical well-being and self-image, difficulty with self-care, and sexual function. Conclusion: patients with definitive stoma presented a moderate to good QoL, even though they knew about the numerous alterations found and the need for a readaptation in their life. Therefore, some suggestions were found to help improve QoL, such as pre, trans and post-operative health education, irrigation, group activities. Key words: quality of life, stomies, colostomy, ileostomy, colorectal neoplasm
