Bowel dysfunction is a common long-term effect of rectal cancer treatment that affects a survivor's quality of life, with few empirically based interventions for symptom management.
The objective was to determine the acceptability of diet modification for bowel dysfunction in postsurgical rectal cancer survivors.
11 rectal cancer survivors who were at least six months post-treatment and reported moderate to severe bowel symptoms completed 10 telephone coaching sessions focusing on diet and symptom management over four months. Feasibility was assessed by study enrollment rate and intervention completion rate.
Diet modification coaching for bowel symptom management is feasible for post-treatment rectal cancer survivors. The intervention can be evaluated for efficacy because of potential to serve as a scalable and accessible approach for effective bowel symptom management.
肠道功能障碍是直肠癌治疗的常见长期效应,会影响患者的生活质量,针对症状管理的实证干预措施较少。
旨在确定对术后直肠癌幸存者进行肠道功能障碍饮食调整的可接受性。
11 名直肠癌幸存者在治疗后至少 6 个月且报告有中度至重度肠道症状,完成了 10 次电话辅导,重点是四个月内的饮食和症状管理。通过研究参与率和干预完成率来评估可行性。
针对肠道症状管理的饮食调整辅导对治疗后的直肠癌幸存者是可行的。由于该干预措施可能成为一种可扩展和可及的有效肠道症状管理方法,因此可以评估其疗效。
