Abstract

Aim: To investigate self-management of dietary intake by colorectal cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Methods: A questionnaire was administered to 92 patients with nonmetastatic colorectal cancer receiving chemotherapy treatment at a UK cancer center in 2018–19. A maximum variation sample of 20 patients who completed the questionnaire were interviewed. Results: More than three in five patients were at nutritional risk but fewer than one in five were concerned about dietary intake or weight. Self-management of diet and weight was inconsistent with achieving the nutritional intake recommended by clinical guidelines on nutrition in cancer. Conclusion: There is potential for psychoeducation to support change in self-management of nutritional risk, with implications for better treatment tolerance and outcomes including quality of life.

非转移性癌症患者化疗期间的饮食和体重管理：混合方法研究

目的:探讨结直肠癌化疗患者饮食摄入的自我管理情况。方法:对2018 - 2019年在英国癌症中心接受化疗的92例非转移性结直肠癌患者进行问卷调查。对20名完成问卷调查的患者进行了最大变异样本访谈。结果:超过五分之三的患者存在营养风险，但不到五分之一的患者担心饮食摄入或体重。饮食和体重的自我管理与实现癌症营养临床指南推荐的营养摄入量不一致。结论:心理教育有可能支持营养风险自我管理的改变，这意味着更好的治疗耐受性和结果，包括生活质量。

期刊介绍： Colorectal cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in the developed world. Risk factors for colorectal cancer are on the rise in many countries; populations are aging, and obesity and diabetes are increasing. National screening programs are helping to detect cancer while it is still curable; however, colorectal cancer remains the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the USA and options are still limited for those with more advanced disease. Consequently, colorectal cancer is a major research priority for government, pharmaceutical companies and non-profit organizations. Research into diagnosis and optimum treatment of the disease is progressing rapidly, with new advances reported every day. Colorectal Cancer presents reviews, analysis and commentary. on all aspects of colorectal cancer.
