Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a type of cancer in which the use of complementary alternative therapy (CAT) gradually increased. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the use of CAT and the quality of life in patients who received colorectal intervention. This descriptive and correlation research was carried out with 70 patients whohad received treatment for colorectal cancer between January 1-September 31, 2018. Data were collected by face-to-face and telephone interview technique using a questionnaire developed by the researchers and WHOQOL-Bref Quality of Life Scale. Descriptive statistical methods, t-test, correlation, and variance analysis were used in data collection. It was determined that 25.9% of the patients used CAT to eliminate the symptoms of the disease and turned mostly to spiritual methods such as prayer (90.7%). Age and family history of CRC was found to be correlated with quality of life.The use of relaxation method affected the quality of life sub-parameters, physical health, psychological and social relations, positively.Mind-body based CAT approaches, which specifically provide relaxation, provide improvement in the quality of life of the CRC patients. It is recommended that patients who underwent surgery for CRC be informed about pre-discharge CAT applications and their effects, and in the following process patients should be given supporting nursing care to improve the quality of life as well as support for the use of appropriate CAT methods.

Özet

Kolorektal kanserler (KRK) tamamlayıcı alternatif terapi (TAT) kullanımının gittikçe arttığı bir kanser türüdür.Bu çalışmanın amacı, cerrahi girişim uygulanmış kolorektal kanserli hastalarda, TAT kullanımı ile yaşam kalitesi arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesidir.Tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı bu araştırma, 01 Ocak 2018-31 Eylül 2018 tarihleri arasında kolorektal kansere ilişkin tedavi süreci devam eden 170 hasta ile yürütülmüştür. Veriler, yüz yüze ve telefonla görüşme tekniğiyle, araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen anket formu ve WHOQOL-Bref Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde, tanımlayıcı istatistiksel yöntemler, t-testi, korelasyon ve varyans analizi kullanılmıştır.Araştırmaya katılan hastaların, %25.9’unun hastalık belirtilerini giderme amaçlı TAT kullandığı ve en çok dua etme (%90.7) gibi manevi yöntemlere başvurduğu belirlenmiştir. Yaş ve ailede KRK öyküsü ile yaşam kalitesi arasında ilişki bulunduğu, gevşemeye ilişkin yöntem kullanımının hastaların yaşam kalitesi alt parametrelerinden fiziksel sağlık, psikolojik ve sosyal ilişkileri olumlu etkilediği saptanmıştır. Özellikle gevşemeyi sağlayan, zihin-beden temelli TAT yaklaşımları KRK hastalarının yaşam kalitelerinde iyileşme sağlamaktadır. KRK nedeniyle cerrahi girişim geçiren hastalara taburculuk öncesi TAT uygulamaları ve etkilerine yönelik bilgi verilmesi ve devam eden süreçte, hastaların uygun TAT yöntemlerinin kullanımına yönelik desteklenmesinin yanısıra yaşam kalitesini arttırmaya yönelik verilmesi önerilmektedir.
