About

This study is aimed to demonstrate the long-term effectiveness of 8-week precision nursing education program through the e-flipped classroom model for YCC survivors and provide a compliant strategy to improve quality of life and emotional status of these patients.

Full description

Background: In recent years, there has been an increase in case number of patients with young colon cancer (YCC). After curative treatment, YCC survivors have more opportunities to meet physical, social and economic burdens. Furthermore, YCC survivors may suffer poor quality of life and depression symptoms related to disease treatments and specific post-treatment care intervention is in unmet need.

Objective: The precision nursing education program will be developed through the eflipped classroom model, including the care of physical symptom based on the patients' needs, Qigong exercise, and mindfulness training. To evaluate the effect of these interventions, the questionnaire of the quality of life of YCC survivors will be employed.

Method: A randomized controlled trial containing 110 patients aged between 20 and 50 years old will be conducted. After completion of curative operation and adjuvant treatments, the subjects will be randomly assigned to a control group, in which routine nursing education care will be provided, and an intervention group, in which 8-week precision nursing education program through the e-flipped classroom model will be applied. The outcome measures include EORTC QLQ-C30, EORTC QLQ-CR29, BDI Depression Scale, Constructed Meaning Scale and FFMQ. The time-points of outcome measures include pre-intervention, post-intervention (at the end of the intervention), and 3, 6 and 9 months after the end of intervention. Univariate analyses will be performed to examine the intervention outcomes among basic characteristics of subjects. Correlation analyses will be performed to investigate the relationships between intervention outcomes and different variables. Comparisons of mean scores in the dependent variables between the experimental group and control group over the five time-points will be used in the generalization of estimating equation models.

Contribution: This study is aimed to demonstrate the long-term effectiveness of 8- week precision nursing education program through the e-flipped classroom model for YCC survivors and provide a compliant strategy to improve quality of life and emotional status of these patients.
