Effectiveness of Experiential Learning on Dietary Fiber Literacy
Condition: Literacy; Bowel Symptoms
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      Acute symptom onset is the most common problem in colorectal cancer surgery, and it is also
      the source of the most painful impact on patients' lives. The second is the fear of cancer
      recurrence and complications, and psychological problems such as fear or depression are prone
      to occur. Studies have found that colorectal cancer is gradually suffering from complications
      and symptoms for six months, and even uncontrollable gas, leakage and incontinence, causing
      frequent occurrence of underwear. , The body and mind are severely impacted, and affect daily
      activities and quality of life. The problem of initial symptom management after colorectal
      cancer surgery is highly complex, and patients even have to self-manage diseases and symptoms
      in the face of physical and psychological adjustment. The provision and consultation of
      knowledge and information from nursing staff can prepare patients for discharge and meet
      their needs for knowledge and information, and can help patients achieve effective
      self-management capabilities.The foundation of health awareness emphasizes health knowledge.
      Health awareness is a more advanced knowledge achievement; it is the ability to make
      judgments and decisions in daily life related to health care, disease prevention and health
      promotion, and is the basic element of achieving self-management of health. Dietary knowledge
      is also a higher-level knowledge, which reflects dietary knowledge in behavior, food choices
      and criticism, and reflects on food choices and health decisions. Insufficient dietary
      knowledge will affect food choices, judgments and decisions, resulting in insufficient
      diet-related knowledge.Studies have confirmed that the health-related knowledge of cancer
      patients is significantly related to disease self-management. Only when patients understand
      their own diseases can they actively participate in self-health management. Nursing staff
      play a pivotal role in the care of patients with colorectal cancer. Through the knowledge
      transfer of nursing staff and guiding patients to take care of themselves, they can help
      improve postoperative dietary intake behaviors, thereby enhancing dietary awareness.
      Literature review of chronic disease self-management, nursing staff provide patients with
      sufficient relevant knowledge education, which can enhance patients' self-efficacy and
      enhance disease self-management ability.
    

Detailed description: 
      Through the re-giving and encouragement of knowledge information, personal behavior control
      and reframing can be achieved, which can be effective To promote personal health. Nursing
      staff's consultation and face-to-face interviews can significantly improve patients'
      health-related knowledge, effective education strategies and assist patients in
      self-management of disease-related problems.

      Experiential learning interaction can deepen the patient's impression and memory, improve the
      patient's knowledge and skills about the disease, increase patient participation in
      self-decision-making, improve self-efficacy, present better health-related knowledge, and
      achieve self-management capabilities. Past studies have also found that telephone tracking
      and consultation, emails, and giving diet manuals can help patients with colorectal cancer
      make significant changes in their healthy diet choices.
