dc.description.abstract | Background: Many patients who undergo lower gastrointestinal surgery neither
recommence feeding within timeframes outlined by evidence-based
guidelines, nor meet their nutrition requirements in hospital. Given that the
success of timely and adequate post-operative feeding is largely reliant on
patient adherence, the present study explored patients’ perceptions of
recommencing feeding after colorectal surgery to determine areas of
improvement to meet their needs and expectations.
Methods: This qualitative study involved one-on-one, semi-structured interviews
with patients receiving care after colorectal surgery in an Australian
tertiary teaching hospital. Purposive sampling was used to ensure maximal
variation in age, sex, procedural type and post-operative nutrition care
experience. Interviews were audio recorded, with data transcribed verbatim
before being thematically analysed. Emergent themes and subthemes were
discussed by all investigators to ensure consensus of interpretation.
Results: Sixteen patients were interviewed (female 56%; age
61.5 12.3 years). Three overarching themes emerged from the data: (i)
patients make food-related decisions based on ideologies, experience and
trust; (ii) patients appreciate the opportunity to participate in their nutrition
care; and (iii) how dietary information is communicated influences
patients’ perceptions of and behaviours towards nutrition.
Conclusions: Enabling patients to select from a wide range of foods from postoperative
day 1 (by prescribing an unrestricted diet in line with evidence-based
practice guidelines) in conjunction with delivering clear, simple and encouraging
dietary-related information may facilitate patient participation in care and
increase oral intakes among patients who have undergone colorectal surgery. | |
