Resilience and vulnerability of post-ostomy patients with early-onset colorectal cancer from the perspective of social-ecological theory: a qualitative study by Fangfang Yang, Fangming Feng, Hongming Gu, Han Liang, Jin Zhang, Yusha Cheng, Weiying Zhang

“…BackgroundThe incidence rate of colorectal cancer (CRC) is rising among adults under the age of 50 (early-onset colorectal cancer, EOCRC). Post-ostomy dysfunction, along with negative perceptions due to incorrect public views and a decline in quality of life, has a significant impact on these individuals, their families, and social relationships.ObjectiveBy understanding the adaptation process of post-ostomy EOCRC(POEOCRC) patients, this study aims to provide information for developing targeted nursing interventions for this population.MethodsBased on the social-ecological theory, semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with 16 POEOCRC patients in China between May 2023 and January 2024.Colaizzi’s method of phenomenology was employed for data analysis.ResultsThis study found two aspects of adaptation experience in POEOCRC patients. …”
