ABSTRACT

Objective:

To explore the effect of nurse-led multi-disciplinary team management on postoperative gastrointestinal function and nutritional status in elderly colon cancer inpatients.

Methods:

A total of 75 elderly inpatients after colon cancer operation who met eligibility criteria and signed informed consent form were randomized into study (n=37) or control group (n=38), receiving nurse-led multi-disciplinary team management or routine nursing for 6 months, respectively. The gastrointestinal function, days of postoperative hospital stay, body weight, body composition and dietary intake were compared between the two groups.

Result:

Compared to the control group, time to defecation (t=14.79, P<0.01), time to initiation of liquid diet intake (t=6.80, P<0.01), time to initiation of semi-liquid diet intake (t=10.78, P<0.01) and days of postoperative hospital stay (t=8.76, P<0.01) in the study group were significantly shortened; and body weight [(59.44±6.12)kg vs. (62.54±6.41)kg, P=0.004], BMI [(19.02±4.13)kg/m 2 vs. (19.98±3.98)kg/m 2, P=0.025], body fat percentage [(20.03±3.55)% vs. (21.34±3.68)%, P<0.01], lean body mass [(19.63±3.44)kg vs. (21.45±3.16)kg, P<0.01], grip strength [(21.65 ± 3.56) kg vs. (22.48 ± 3.81) kg, P=0.011], attainment rate of 75% target energy intake (65.8% vs. 86.5%, P=0.036) and attainment rate of 75% target protein intake (57.9% vs. 83.8%, P=0.014) were significantly improved in study group 6 months after operation.

Conclusion:

The nurse-led multi-disciplinary team management can effectively improve the postoperative recovery of gastrointestinal function and the long-term nutritional status in elderly patients with colon cancer.
