About this study
Official title: A Study on Health Behavior Intervention for Colorectal Cancer Patients Based on the Theory of Time-bound Self-regulation
Develop a health behavior intervention plan based on patients' needs and preferences, and preliminarily apply and evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of this intervention plan for patients with colorectal cancer.
- Conditions
- Colorectal Cancer
- Being tested
- health behavior intervention programs based on the temporal self-regulation theory are also received
- Keywords

- Medical subject headings
- Colorectal Neoplasms, Health Behavior
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
health behavior intervention programs based on the temporal self-regulation theory are also receivedBehavioural
The intervention group received additional health behavior intervention programs based on the temporal self-regulation theory in addition to the routine post-operative health education services provided by the hospital. The intervention period was set as 1 session per week for a total of 6 weeks, each session lasting approximately 45-60 minutes. The intervention was conducted in a combination of offline and online guidance and support. Before the intervention, baseline assessments were conducted for the research subjects, and intervention manuals, demonstration videos, and other tools were distributed. From the 1st to the 5th week, corresponding module measures were implemented according to the intervention framework, including looking to the future, intention strengthening, habit shaping, and self-control. In the 6th week, progress summaries, feedback, and long-term plan formulation were carried out. Throughout the process, online WeChat/QQ support groups/Tencent Meeting were u
