This study employs a qualitative research methodology to explore the genuine feelings of older patients with colorectal cancer (OPCRC) regarding their Supportive Care Needs (SCNs), to understand their specific care requirements and to inform the clinical implementation of targeted intervention programs.
Qualitative research was conducted from November 2024 to January 2025 in Zhengzhou, China. Data were collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews with OPCRC. Thematic analysis was employed to identify key themes from the interview transcripts.
A total of 25 participants were recruited, comprising 18 males and 7 females. Thematic analysis revealed four themes and 13 sub-themes: 1) disease management needs, 2) information acquisition needs, 3) emotional support needs, and 4) practical needs.
It is essential to prioritize the care needs of OPCRC by enhancing symptomatic management and providing comprehensive information support. Additionally, addressing their emotional well-being is crucial, and effective social assistance should be offered to facilitate their reintegration into society.
本研究采用定性研究方法,探讨老年结直肠癌患者(OPCRC)对支持性护理需求(SCNs)的真实感受,了解其具体护理需求,并为针对性干预项目的临床实施提供依据。
2024年11月至2025年1月在中国郑州进行了定性研究。通过对OPCRC进行深入的半结构化访谈收集数据。采用主题分析法从访谈记录中识别关键主题。
共招募了25名参与者,其中男性18名,女性7名。主题分析揭示了四个主题和13个子主题:1)疾病管理需求,2)信息获取需求,3)情感支持需求,4)实际需求。
通过加强症状管理和提供全面的信息支持,优先满足OPCRC的护理需求至关重要。此外,关注他们的情绪健康至关重要,应提供有效的社会援助,以促进他们重新融入社会。
