Self-management Support for Colorectal Cancer Survivors Colorectal Cancer Survivors: A Mixed-methods Study
Developing and Testing a Self-management Support Intervention in Colorectal Cancer Survivors: A Mixed-methods Study
Background: Survivors of colorectal cancer have to face long-term consequences of the disease and its treatment side effects, which in turn affect mood and psychological well-being. Self-management support may help colorectal cancer survivors to achieve healthy lifestyle and better adjustment.
However, there is little research evidence to support it and also no theory-based self-management support interventions specifically designed for colorectal cancer survivors in Taiwan.
Aim: The study aims is to test the efficacy of the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy -based self-management support program on the primary outcome, quality of life, and secondary outcomes, physical activity, fruit and vegetative intake, body mass index, sleep quality, emotion distress, and fatigue in colorectal cancer survivors .
Design: An experimental design with repeated measures will be used to test the intervention efficacy. A convenient sample of 250 colorectal cancer (stage I-III) survivors who has completed initial treatments will be recruited and randomized to the control or intervention group. The intervention includes a colorectal cancer self-management information booklet, a DVD, two individual skill trainings and 12 follow-up telephone calls. These are to establish participants' self-management skills and healthy lifestyle, including physical activity and healthy eating fruits and vegetables. The control group will receive health education leaflets. Outcome variables will be assessed on the baseline, 2th, 4th, and 6th month in both groups. Descriptive analysis will be used to describe patients' demographics, disease variables, and outcome variables. The Chi-square, t-test, and General Linear Mix-effect Model will be used to test the efficacy of the study interventions.

Detailed Description
Background: Colorectal cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in Taiwan. The five year relative survival rate of colorectal cancer is 61% and has become the third largest cancer survivor group. Survivors of colorectal cancer have to face long-term consequences of the disease and its treatment side effects, which in turn affect mood and psychological well-being. Overweight and unhealthy lifestyles will further impact on patient's prognosis and quality of life. The current follow-up systems often fail to adequately address patients' complex physical and mental needs. Self-management support may help colorectal cancer survivors to achieve healthy lifestyle and better adjustment. However, there is little research evidence to support it and also no theory-based self-management support interventions specifically designed for colorectal cancer survivors in Taiwan.
Aim: The study aims is to test the efficacy of the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy -based self-management support program on the primary outcome, quality of life, and secondary outcomes, physical activity, fruit and vegetative intake, body mass index, sleep quality, emotion distress, and fatigue in colorectal cancer survivors .
Design: An experimental design with repeated measures will be used to test the intervention efficacy. A convenient sample of 250 colorectal cancer (stage I-III) survivors who has completed initial treatments will be recruited and randomized to the control or intervention group. The intervention includes a colorectal cancer self-management information booklet, a DVD, two individual skill trainings and 12 follow-up telephone calls. These are to establish participants' self-management skills and healthy lifestyle, including physical activity and healthy eating fruits and vegetables. The control group will receive health education leaflets. Outcome variables will be assessed on the baseline, 2th, 4th, and 6th month in both groups.
Instruments: The study instruments include a body weight scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Eating at America's Table Study-Quick Food Scan, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, FACIT-Fatigue, and FACT-C.
Data analysis: Descriptive analysis will be used to describe patients' demographics, disease variables, and outcome variables. The Chi-square, t-test, and General Linear Mix-effect Model will be used to test the efficacy of the study interventions.
Significance: The study results will provide evidence for the efficacy of the self-management support intervention for enhancing healthy life style and quality of life in colorectal cancer survivors.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy- Colorectal
Time Frame: Change from Baseline to 6 months
|
There are two subscales, 27 items of FACT-General and 9 items of Colorectal Cancer Subscale.
Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale (0-4).
The total score of the 36 items represents the score of the scale.
The possible score for the scale ranges from 0 to 136.
The higher values represent better quality of life.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
The Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue
Time Frame: Change from Baseline to 6 months
|
There are 13 items in the scale.
Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale (0-4).
The total score of the 13 items represents the score of the scale.
The possible score for the scale ranges from 0 to 52.
The higher values represent more fatigue.
|
Change from Baseline to 6 months
|
International Physical Activity Questionnaire
Time Frame: Change from Baseline to 6 months
|
The Taiwan Version of International Physical Activity Questionnaire is used to measure a patient's physical activity.
The scale has 7 items, asking patients the time they spent on walking, moderate, and vigorous physical activities during the past 7 days.
The amounts of time spent on walking, moderate and vigorous physical activities are then multiplied by 3.3, 4.0, and 8.0 MET, respectively.
The sum of the METs-min/wk for three types physically actives is the total score of the scale.
|
Change from Baseline to 6 months
|
Eating at America's Table Study-Quick Food Scan
Time Frame: Change from Baseline to 6 months
|
The scale measures a patient's intake of vegetables and fruits in the past month.
There are 10 items in the scale, asking the amount and frequency of eating nine different types of vegetables and fruits.
The frequency multiplied by the amount represents the total amount of vegetables and fruits consumed in the past month.
The higher values indicate more vegetables and fruits patient consumed.
|
Change from Baseline to 6 months
|
Body weight scale
Time Frame: Change from Baseline to 6 months
|
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated by the patient's body weight (kilograms) divided by height (meters) to the second power.
Underweight is the BMI lower than18.5.
Normal weight is the BMI higher or equal than18.5 and lower than 24.
The overweight is the BMI higher or equal than 24 and lower than 27.
The obese is the BMI higher or equal than 35.

The total score of seven dimensions represents the scale score.
The possible score for the scale ranges from 0 to 21.
The higher values represent worse sleep quality.
|
Change from Baseline to 6 months
|
Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale
