Based on providing routine post-operative health education services for colorectal cancer patients in the hospital, additional health behavior intervention programs based on the theory of time-limited self-regulation are also received.
Behavioral: health behavior intervention programs based on the temporal self-regulation theory are also received
Regular post-operative health education services for colorectal cancer
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
