Effect of behavior-changes-in-stages theory on defecation function of lower rectal cancer after sphincter-preserving operation / 现代临床护理

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the effect of behavior-changes-in-stages theory on defecation function of lower rectal cancer after sphincter-preserving operation. Methods 84 patients with lower rectal cancer undergoing sphincter-preserving operation from June 2013 to June 2016 were divided into control group (n=42)and intervention group (n=42)according to their willingness to care.The control group implemented routine nursing,mainly for diet intervention,wound care,bowel function training and in the intervention group the behavior-changes-in-stages theory was used.Comparisons were done between the groups in terms of the anus incontinence defecation function and quality of life for 6 months after operation. Result The degrees of anus incontinence and defecation function in the intervention group were both significantly better than those in the control group 6 months after the operation (P<0.05). Conclusions The behavior-change-in-stages plays a significant role in the postoperative rehabilitation.It can significantly reduce the anus incontinence, better the bowel function,improve the quality of life and promote rehabilitation.
