This quality improvement project explores social support types for colorectal cancer patients, highlighting its impact on quality of life.
Background: Prior research indicates that patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) who receive social support experience reduced levels of anxiety and depression as well as an improvement in overall health and quality of life following surgical intervention. There is limited research on how patients with CRC receive specific types of support. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to explore the types of support patients with CRC receive both at home and from the clinic.
