Outline of Final Research Achievements

The present study aimed to measure and clarify correlations between specific experiences，self-management，self-efficacy and QOL in order to suggest nursing interventions to increase self-efficacy and QOL among post-operative gastroenterological cancer patients receiving outpatient chemotherapy．The survey was conducted by interviewing 61 gastroeiterological cancer patients receiving outpatient chemotherapy following surgery for colon cancer (62.3%) or stomach cancer(37.7%)．43 patients reported subjective symptoms．Many patients reported changes in nutritional state and excretion，and sychosocial changes were experienced by a large proportion of patients，including symptomatic，PS0 patients．With regard to self-management ability，only a small proportion of patients had acquired the ability to assess behavioral outcomes．Furthermore，a significant positive correlation was observed between self-management ability and self-efficacy among patients with subjective symptoms (r=0.338)．
