Brief Summary

A metaverse-based multidimensional rehabilitation program will be implemented for colorectal cancer survivors who have undergone curative surgery and adjuvant therapy. The intervention is based on the behavior change wheel and includes dietary intervention, exercise intervention, psychological support, and behavior management. Through various methods such as training, education, and motivation, the program aims to enhance the patients' functional ability, opportunities, and motivation, thereby promoting healthy behavior. Outcome measures include quality of life, fear of recurrence, and adoption of a healthy lifestyle. The intervention period is 4 weeks, with evaluations conducted at baseline and week 4 of the intervention

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Chinese version of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30)

    This Scale was developed to measure the quality of life of patients with cancer. It includes 30 questions and three sub-dimensions: General Well-Being, Functional Difficulties, and Symptom Control. The maximum score on the scale is 100, and the minimum is 0. High scores on the functional sub-dimension indicate good/healthy functional status, high scores on the symptom sub-dimension indicate high levels of symptoms and/or problems, and high scores on the global health status/quality of life sub-dimension indicate good quality of life.

    Change from Baseline at 4 weeks

  • Fear of Progression Questionaire-Short Form (FoP-Q-SF)

    The FoP-Q-SF was developed by German scholar Herschbach in 2005 in people such as diabetes, rheumatic diseases and cancer, to measure patients' fear of disease progression or recurrence, a total of 7 dimensions, 43 entries, Cronbach's α is 0.7. It is a single-dimensional scale with a total of 12 items, using the Liket 5-level scoring method, the score range is 12\~60, the higher the score, the higher the level of fear.

multidimensional rehabilitation group

EXPERIMENTAL

The intervention is based on the behavior change wheel and includes dietary intervention, exercise intervention, psychological support, and behavior management. Through various methods such as training, education, and motivation, the patient's ability, opportunities, and motivation will be increased, thereby promoting healthy behavior.

Behavioral: multidimensional rehabilitation

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

The patients will receive the conventional clinical guidance according to The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University, including preoperative anesthesia assessment, drug treatment recommendations for chronic disease, quit smoking and abstinence.
