“…Bowel cancer is the third most diagnosed cancer worldwide (Arnold et al, 2017) and recent improvements to survival rate have resulted in it being considered a chronic rather than acute condition (Grimmett et al, 2017). Many bowel cancer survivors experience ongoing impacts in multiple areas including psychological (Martin et al, 2020b), cognitive (Martin et al, 2020a), social, physical (Breedveld‐Peters et al, 2020), sexual (Martin et al, 2020b), self‐care, employment, and role functioning (Beesley et al, 2017; Martin et al, 2020b).…”

“…Occupational therapy's focus on function makes it appropriate for this population, especially considering bowel cancer survivors with good physical and emotional role functioning are considerably more likely to be satisfied with their participation levels (Breedveld-Peters et al, 2020). Moreover, positive results for occupational therapy input with cancer survivors are reported by Rijpkema et al (2020), with clients improving in both performance and satisfaction.…”

Introduction:The aim of this study was to investigate the occupational impact (i.e., how engagement in occupation is affected) of having had bowel cancer and the role of occupational therapy with bowel cancer survivors and their significant others.Methods: Two rounds of semi-structured interviews were carried out with individuals who had completed treatment for bowel cancer, with interviews designed to gain insight into their occupational experiences post treatment.Thematic analysis was utilised to construct themes and patterns founded on the perceptions of participants. Analysis involved concurrent data collection and analysis, constant comparative analysis, and iterative analysis.Findings: Eighteen participants were interviewed, with occupational impact evident across multiple aspects of everyday life. Four themes were identified:Changes in eating habits, changes in toileting habits, changes in relationships, and rethinking occupational choices.Conclusion: Findings of the occupational impact of having had bowel cancer reveal a possible role for occupational therapists with people affected by bowel cancer. Occupation focused assessments and self-management programmes are identified as a possible means of meeting the needs of this population, making use of the experiences of peers to provide a credible, relatable voice.

“…Meanwhile, other studies have found several restrictions in daily activities generated by cancer treatments (25,26), which were especially evident in participants undergoing radiotherapy, who developed a low coping capability; one of the reasons for this lies in the lack of information provided by healthcare personnel regarding the treatment, the most important care needed by patients, or the changes that occur at the physical level (27).…”

Coping and adaptation of adults with cancer: the art of nursing care

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objective: To determine the coping and adaptive capabilities in patients with cancer undergoing treatment. Methodology: This was a quantitative and descriptive cross-sectional study; the sample consisted of 100 patients with a cancer diagnosis who received chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy treatment between June and August 2019, meeting the inclusion criteria. The Coping and Adaptation Processing Scale (CAPS) was used. Results: 53 % of the patients participating in the study presented high coping and adaptive capabilities; 40 % presented medium capabilities, and 7 % presented low capabilities. Conclusion: Continuous follow-up is extremely important throughout the disease process; having a romantic partner becomes a protective factor since patients feel heard and cared for, which motivates them to follow through with the treatment. In the nursing field, knowing the experience of those who live with an illness allows for transcending and impacting care by providing holistic attention to patients.

“… 35 In a mixed-method study using data of the EnCoRe study, CRC (treatment) related health and functioning problems negatively impacted the ability of nearly one in five long-term CRC survivors to participate in everyday life situations and their satisfaction with participation. 90 The validity of the FFQ for measuring dietary intake among survivors of CRC within the EnCoRe study appeared to be moderate to good for most nutrients and food groups, relative to a 7-day dietary record. 91 Prediction models were developed for estimating 1-year risk of low health-related quality of life in seven domains in CRC survivors and performed well when externally validated among survivors within the EnCoRe and COLON studies.…”

Cohort profile: Biomarkers related to folate-dependent one-carbon metabolism in colorectal cancer recurrence and survival – the FOCUS Consortium

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

PurposeThe overarching goal of the FOCUS (biomarkers related to folate-dependent one-carbon metabolism in colorectal cancer (CRC) recurrence and survival) Consortium is to unravel the effect of folate and folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism (FOCM) biomarkers on CRC prognosis to provide clinically relevant advice on folate intake to cancer patients and define future tertiary prevention strategies.ParticipantsThe FOCUS Consortium is an international, prospective cohort of 2401 women and men above 18 years of age who were diagnosed with a primary invasive non-metastatic (stages I–III) CRC. The consortium comprises patients from Austria, two sites from the Netherlands, Germany and two sites from the USA. Patients are recruited after CRC diagnosis and followed at 6 and 12 months after enrolment. At each time point, sociodemographic data, data on health behaviour and clinical data are collected, blood samples are drawn.Findings to dateAn increased risk of cancer recurrences was observed among patients with higher compared with lower circulating folic acid concentrations. Furthermore, specific folate species within the FOCM pathway were associated with both inflammation and angiogenesis pathways among patients with CRC. In addition, higher vitamin B6status was associated with better quality of life at 6 months post-treatment.Future plansBetter insights into the research on associations between folate and FOCM biomarkers and clinical outcomes in patients with CRC will facilitate the development of guidelines regarding folate intake in order to provide clinically relevant advice to patients with cancer, health professionals involved in patient care, and ultimately further tertiary prevention strategies in the future. The FOCUS Consortium offers an excellent infrastructure for short-term and long-term research projects and for combining additional biomarkers and data resulting from the individual cohorts within the next years, for example, microbiome data, omics and multiomics data or CT-quantified body composition data.
