Background：Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world. By 2040, the number of cases of colorectal cancer will increase to 3.2 million per year and the number of deaths will reach 1.6 million per year. Abdominoperineal resection is a common procedure for the treatment of low colorectal cancer, but it leaves a permanent stoma. So the quality of life (QoL) of these patients deserves attention.Aim：The aim of the study is to describe the tools to measure the QoL of patients with permanent stoma, the quality of life for patients with permanent colostomy and to identify the factors that influence their quality of life.Methods：This study was a descriptive literature review, search Pubmed databases for relevant articles. Make tables of the ten articles included and review them carefully.Result：Tools used to measure QoL in patients with permanent colostomy are EORTC QLQ-C30, EORTC QLQ-CR38, EORTC QLQ-CR29, SF-36, COH-QoL-Ostomy questionnaire, and Stoma QOL. Patients with permanent colostomy had a moderate QoL. Factors affecting QoL in patients with permanent colostomy are Demographic factors (Age, Sex, Living situation, Living area, Body mass index (BMI), Employment status, Spouse or not, Financial burden), Factors related to ostomy(High Colostomy Impact (CI) score, Time after surgery, Bulge or hernia, Fear of leakage, Time to self-care of the stoma, Loss of body image) and Psychosocial factors(Self-efficacy, Truth telling, Communication with patients, Family relationship, Participation in patients activities).Conclusions：The study found that patients with permanent colostomy had a moderate QoL, which was influenced by demographic factors, stomation-related factors, and socio-psychological factors. In clinical work, transition theory can be used to provide education and support for patients and their families to help patients adapt to the stoma and complete the transition
