The Impact of a Home Delivered Meal Service in Cancer Patients During Chemotherapy
2020年10月8日 更新者:Radboud University Medical Center
The Impact of FoodforCare at Home on Quality of Life of Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy.
Cancer patients receiving treatment such as chemotherapy experience a variety of symptoms that interfere with their appetite and their ability to eat and enjoy meals.
Therefore, adapting meals in a way that responds to these symptoms might be a good strategy to improve patient satisfaction, nutritional status and hence, quality of life.
In this vein, the investigators hypothesize that meals from FoodforCare at Home will contribute to the quality of life of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy when compared to usual care.

详细说明
Cancer patients receiving treatment such as chemotherapy experience a variety of symptoms that interfere with their appetite and their ability to eat and enjoy meals.
Several studies suggest that nutritional intake increases when the patient is satisfied about the quality of the meals.
Therefore, adapting meals in a way that responds to these symptoms might be a good strategy to improve patient satisfaction, nutritional status and hence, quality of life.
In this vein, the investigators hypothesize that meals from FoodforCare at Home will contribute to the quality of life of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy when compared to usual care.
Also, the investigators expect that this strategy will have a positive effect on patient satisfaction, other nutrition-related issues, including nausea and vomiting, on nutritional intake per se and hence, on the nutritional status.
Additional benefits might include reduced use of medication, especially anti-emetics.

武器和干预
参与者组/臂 |
干预/治疗 |
|---|---|
|
实验性的:FoodforCare group
The intervention group will receive meals from FoodforCare at Home.
The FoodforCare at Home concept consists of five to six small protein and energy enriched meals that will be delivered twice a week.
After an individual intake, the composition of the dishes will be tailored to the needs of the patient in terms of composition, diet, taste, flavor and portion size.
Besides the meals, patients in the intervention group will also receive an information leaflet about the importance of protein during treatment and how to reach their protein requirements.
|
Five small protein rich meals that will be delivered twice a week for 3 weeks.
|
|
无干预:Usual care group
The control group will continue their usual diet for 3 weeks and have no restrictions to their diet.
