Purpose
To assess the congruence and interdependent impacts of family resilience in colorectal cancer couples using the Walsh Family Resilience Model, focusing on coping domains of the shared beliefs system, organizational patterns, and communication/problem-solving.
Methods
220 colorectal cancer couples were recruited from two hospitals in China, assessing family resilience, hope, family sense of coherence, spiritual well-being, social support, and couple communication quality. Congruence was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients and paired t-tests. Pearson correlations, multiple stepwise linear regression, and structural equation modeling examined the effects of coping domains on family resilience. Actor-Partner Independence Model was used to further explore actor and partner effects of these coping domains on family resilience in colorectal cancer couples.
Results
Moderate congruence in family resilience was observed, with spousal caregivers reporting higher family resilience. Key coping domains, including shared beliefs system (hope, family sense of coherence, spiritual well-being), organizational patterns (social support), and mutual communication/problem-solving, were significant predictors of family resilience. Importantly, both patients' and spousal caregivers’ coping domains exhibited notable actor and partner effects on family resilience of their own family resilience and partners.
Conclusion
This study highlights the interdependent influences on family resilience in colorectal cancer couples, supporting family-centered interventions to strengthen positive coping mechanisms.

To identify Missed Nursing Care (MNC) and related factors, as well as analyze the influence of nurses’ decision-making and personality traits on MNC in two Portuguese hospitals dedicated to cancer care.
Methods
A cross-sectional, multicentric, descriptive-correlational study was conducted using a convenience sample of 298 nurses working in two hospitals dedicated to cancer care. Data were collected in the first semester of 2023 using a questionnaire that included sociodemographic and professional questions and the Portuguese versions of the MISSCARE Survey, the Nursing Decision-Making Instrument (NDMI-PT), and the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI-P).
Results
Nurses missed care occasionally, namely in the dimensions related to Patient empowerment/autonomy care and Efficacy of feeding and medication. Staffing, Patient volume and acuity, and Management and organization were moderate to significant reasons for MNC. The flexible decision-making style was predominant (81.5%). The most prevalent personality traits were Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, and Openness to experience. Significant correlations were found between the four stages of the decision-making process and the personality traits and several dimensions of MNC. Data collection to assess a patient's condition was negatively correlated with Team communication and Material resources. Similarly, the Emotional stability trait was negatively correlated with Team communication and Patient volume and acuity.
Conclusions
This study identified MNC and factors that can influence the quality of care. It is crucial to promote nurses’ training and specialization within healthcare teams, with a particular focus on enhancing some of their personality traits to make them more effective and efficient therapeutic agents.

Purpose
Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) contributes to sleep problems and social support is a buffering factor in the literature. However, the moderating effect of social support between FCR and sleep quality is unclear.
Methods
The moderating role of social support was examined in a cohort of 460 breast cancer patients from the 2024 Be Resilient to Breast Cancer (BRBC) program from a microscopic perspective using moderated network analysis, and then assessed macroscopically by Johnson-Neyman and response surface analysis. The Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form, Perceived Social Support Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scale were employed in this study.
Results
Social support significantly moderated the relationship between general anxiety and sleep efficiency. General anxiety was positively correlated with sleep efficiency at high levels of social support (t = 3.774, P < 0.001). Patients with high social support and low FCR experienced better sleep (F = 6.166, P < 0.01).
Conclusion
Our study deepens the understanding of the association between FCR, social support, and sleep quality, and emphasizes social support as a positive strategy for cancer patients to improve their physical and mental health.

Purpose
The increase of oral tumor therapies (OTT) poses new challenges in patient care. Within CAMPA (Care improvement for advanced or metastatic breast and ovarian cancer patients treated with PARP-inhibitors), additional nursing support for patients treated with PARP-inhibitors was developed.
Methods
Additional nursing support (1 year) was evaluated in breast and gynecooncological cancer patients at an academic and a non-academic outreach center. From 02/22 to 02/24, quality of life, contacts, adherence, documentation of drug intake, hospitalization, and adverse events were evaluated, using CANKADO-ePRO and validated questionnaires reviewed by the Ethics Committee of Medical Faculty, LMU Munich. Satisfaction with care was recorded from 03/23 to 02/24. Supporting materials and interprofessional checklists were explored.
Results
The collective (n = 50) included 41 patients with ovarian, 4 with fallopian tube and 5 with breast cancer. Adherence measured by continuous documentation of medication intake was high among patients (78.0%). Quality of life improved from 68.6% to 81.4%, strongly correlating with decreasing numbers of side effects (p = 0.003) (Spearman |ρ| = 0.93). Satisfaction with care was very high (4.97 out of 5 points). 94.6% agreed that nursing consultation was essential for therapy safety compared to the doctor's consultation alone (p < 0.05). The reduction in time and care effort was significant (p < 0.05), having its maximum within the first three months.
Conclusion
Standardized nursing consultation was highly appreciated with an important contribution to adherence and improvement in quality of life. Delegation of therapy management to nurses reduces time effort and increases their responsibility, improving interprofessional care at academic and non-academic institutions.

Purpose
To describe the characteristics of sick role adaptation and understand the differences in young and middle-aged colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.
Methods
225 colorectal cancer patients aged 18–59 admitting to a specialized oncology hospital in Guangzhou, China were involved from January to April 2022. Socio-demographic characteristics, disease-related characteristics, scores of Illness Behavior Questionnaire, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale and Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire were applied to collect quantitative data. Latent profile analysis (LPA) of illness behavior, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple logistic regression were performed.
Results
Three latent classes of illness behavior were identified: low maladaptive illness behavior group, moderate maladaptive illness behavior group, and high maladaptive illness behavior group. Univariate analysis revealed statistically significant differences among the three latent classes with respect to education level, anxiety and depression, illness perception, uncertainty in illness and coping modes. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that marital status, family history of cancer, education level, family monthly income, anxiety and depression, illness perception, uncertainty in illness and coping modes were predictors of maladaptive illness behaviors among young and middle-aged CRC patients.
Conclusions
The results of the study raise a concern of maladaptive illness behaviors in young and middle-aged colorectal cancer patients, highlighting the need for age-appropriate psychosocial care approaches to promote adjustment of the illness behaviors followed by the diagnosis and treatment of CRC.

Purpose
This study aimed to quantify the impact of chemotherapy on attention function, assessed by neuro-psychological tests and to identify the time point of impact.
Methods
This is a meta-analysis with 16 independent data sets from 18 studies. Literature was searched in 5 databases. We calculated Hedges’ g as an effect size (ES) for mean differences between groups by time point: chemotherapy treated patients (CTX group); nonchemotherapy patients (NCP group); and healthy control (HC group). The neuropsychological tests were classified and analyzed separately: time spent and correct or incorrect answer count.
Results
In both tests, the CTX and NCP groups did not differ. Yet, after excluding an influential study in the answer-based test, the CTX group showed significantly lower attention function than the NCP group at within 1 year post-CTX(ES = −0.22, p = 0.03). In both tests, the CTX group had significantly lower attention function than HC at within 1 year post-CTX (ES = 0.36, p = 0.05; ES = −0.30, p < 0.01). Contrarily, the NCP and HC groups did not differ at each follow-up time. ES was largest at within 1 year post-CTX, suggesting the CTX impact on attention function may be delayed, not acute.
Conclusion
This study provide the evidence that CTX deteriorates patients' attention function, beyond patients’ subjective experience. Yet, findings from individual studies were mixed and some of them greatly influenced the overall effect of chemotherapy, requiring additional well-designed studies. Clinicians must know the impact of chemotherapy on attention functions and available supportive cares.

Purpose
This study evaluates whether the Benefits of Obtaining Ownership Systematically Together in pediatric Advance Care Planning (BOOST pACP) intervention improves parent-adolescent communication compared to care as usual.
Methods
In this multi-center parallel-group superiority trial, adolescent patients (10–18 years old) diagnosed with cancer and their parent(s) were randomized with a 1:1 allocation to a pACP intervention or care as usual. The primary endpoint was the adolescents’ assessment of quality of parent-adolescent communication at 3 months, and the secondary was quality of parent-adolescent communication at 7 months.
Results
Forty-nine families were enrolled (28% enrollment rate) between March 2021 and March 2023. No significant differences in parent-adolescent communication were observed between the BOOST and care as usual groups at 3 months (T1) (baseline-adjusted mean difference = 1.4; 95% CI -4.1 to 6.9; p = 0.608), effect size 0.13. Similarly, at 7 months (T2) differences were not significant (baseline-adjusted mean difference = 5.2; 95% CI -0.6 to 11.0; p = 0.077), effect size 0.49 (and 0.67 for father-adolescent communication). No significant differences in anxiety scores of adolescents and parents were found and no adverse events were reported.
Conclusion
The BOOST pACP intervention did not significantly improve parent-adolescent communication for adolescents with cancer and their parents at 3 months after baseline. However, the results indicate it might have a clinical impact in later stages of the follow-up period. Limitations of this study are the underpowered sample size and the lack of validated questionnaires for specific ACP communication.

Purpose
Breast cancer patients experience more gastrointestinal symptoms during chemotherapy than during the survival period post-treatment. This can interfere with daily dietary intake and increase the risk of malnutrition. This study aimed to evaluate the level and classification of dietary self-management behavior and the influence of self-care self-efficacy, outcome expectations, treatment self-regulation and perceived social support guided by “Integrated theory of Health Behavior Change”.
Methods
A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted. The assessment tools included self-designed demographic and clinical instruments, Dietary Management Behavior Questionnaire, Strategies Used by People to Promote Health, Consideration of Future Consequences Scale-Food, the Treatment Self-regulation Questionnaire and Perceived Social Support Scale.
Results
A total of 760 samples were analysed. The best-fitting model of the 4 classes was determined, with the lowest-to-highest scores as follows: Class 1-poor behavior group (17.84%), Class 2-medium behavior group (28.26%), Class 3-good behavior group (22.67%) and Class 4-excellent behavior group (31.23%). In the control group, being underweight (OR = 0.131), having no spouse (OR = 0.235), having a lower educational level (OR = 0.147–0.384), being premenopausal (OR = 0.220–0.255), having immediate consequence considerations (OR = 0.866–0.909) and receiving other support (OR = 0.830) were risk factors (all P < 0.05).
Conclusions
The performance of dietary self-management behavior needs to be improved. This study may provide a reference for determining key intervention populations that are underweight during premenopause, have no spouse and have lower education. Specific intervention content, including future consequence consideration, positive attitudes, decision-making, autonomous motivation, introjected regulation and friend support, should be added to improve the dietary practices during chemotherapy precisely.

Purpose
To compare and rank the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions on cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) for breast cancer patients.
Methods
A systematic review and network meta-analysis were conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Randomized controlled trials from January 1, 2000 to October 11, 2024 were searched in nine electronic databases. Studies involving non-pharmacological interventions for managing CRCI in breast cancer were included. Methodological quality was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration's Risk of Bias 2 assessment tool. Stata 15 was used for data analysis.
Results
A total of 42 eligible studies were identified, covering eight non-pharmacological interventions. Psychological interventions (98.7%), Tai Chi/Qigong/Baduanjin (74.5%), and cognitive rehabilitation (70.1%) were the three most effective methods to improve subjective cognition. Cognitive training showed the highest effectiveness for working memory and executive function, with effectiveness rates of 78.3% and 83.4%, respectively. Cognitive rehabilitation (87.1%) was also the most effective for learning memory., while meditation/mindfulness-based stress reduction (71.8%) led in processing speed.
Conclusions
This network meta-analysis found that psychological interventions was the most effective for improving subjective outcomes. cognitive training proved most effective for working memory and executive function, while cognitive rehabilitation was most effective in enhancing learning memory, and meditation/mindfulness-based stress reduction ranked highest for processing speed.

Purpose
To identify subgroups of psychosocial adjustment among patients with newly diagnosed colorectal cancer, and to examine the inflencing factors of different subgroups.
Methods
The study surveyed 490 participants in Guangzhou from July 2022 to June 2023 using face-to-face method. The scales measured psychosocial adjustment, resilience, and coping styles. Statistical analysis included latent profile analysis and multinomial logistic regression. The STROBE guidelines were followed in this study.
Results
Three subgroups of psychosocial adjustment were identified: the low adjustment (23.7%), the moderate adjustment (44.5%), and the high adjustment (31.8%). Factors influencing psychosocial adjustment included optimism, resignation coping style, household per capita monthly income, and tumor metastasis.
Conclusions
This study employed a human-centered approach to identify three types of psychosocial adjustment in newly diagnosed colorectal cancer patients. Variations were observed in optimism, resignation coping, tumor metastasis, and household income. Prompt identification of high-risk groups and tailored interventions are essential for improving psychosocial adjustment.
