Quality of Life in Colorectal Cancer Survivors
Occupational Therapy Interventions Based on Cancer Education on Quality of Life for Colorectal Cancer Survivors
BACKGROUND:
Colorectal cancer (CRC) and its treatment affect CRC survivors' quality of life (QoL), emotional distress and activities of daily living (ADL). It is assumed that occupational therapy interventions based on cancer education may be a feasible approach.
Aim To examine the effect of using cancer education based on healthy lifestyle by occupational therapist on QoL, emotional distress, ADL and healthy lifestyle behaviors in CRC survivors.
Methods Participants with CRC were designed as a two-group controlled trial, and a single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted. These participants were randomly assigned to either an OT intervention or a non-intervention group (in a 1:1 ratio). Those participants in the OT intervention group were given a consultation based on a CRC education handbook by an occupational therapist for discharge preparation and on 1-month, 3-month follow-up clinic; the non-intervention group participants were given a CRC education handbook (the same handbook) only for discharge preparation. The primary outcome was the change in QoL measured using WHOOQOL-BREF. Secondary outcomes were changes in emotional distress, ADL and healthy lifestyle behaviors. Outcomes were examined in baseline (discharge preparation), 1-month and 3-months follow-up clinic.

Experimental: OT intervention group
The OT intervention group were given a consultation based on a CRC education handbook by an occupational therapist for discharge preparation and on 1-month, 3-month follow-up clinic.
|
Those participants in the OT intervention group were given a consultation based on a CRC education handbook by an occupational therapist for discharge preparation (about 30 minutes) and after each follow-up visit to the clinic (about 15-20 minutes); the non-intervention group participants were given a CRC education handbook (the same handbook) only for discharge preparation.
For the first OT consultation, in the first 15 minutes, the occupational therapist educated the participants based on the CRC education handbook chapter by chapter.
The next 15 minutes, the occupational therapist interacted with the participants and provided them customized lifestyle suggestions.
For the each following (second and third) consultations, occupational therapists interacted with the participants and provided customized suggestions based on the participants' lifestyle at home.
