Purpose: This study aimed to identify the relationships among bowel function, health locus of control, anxiety, and depression in patient with rectal cancer.
Methods: This study utilized a descriptive correlational design. Subjects were 200 rectal cancer patients who attended out-patient clinic in a colorectal cancer center. The study instruments included the scales for bowel function, health locus of control, anxiety, and depression. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
Results: The mean score of bowel function was 34.44±5.73. The mean scores of internal HLOC, chance HLOC, doctor HLOC, and powerful others HLOC were 29.06±6.81, 22.41±6.96, 15.88±2.85, and 10.72± 4.68 respectively. The mean scores of anxiety and depression were 4.49±3.95 and 6.25±3.98, respectively. There were significant negative correlations between bowel function and anxiety (r=-.180, p=.011); between bowel function and depression (r=-.267, p<.001); and between internal health locus of control and depression (r=-.149, p=.035). There were significant positive correlations between chance health locus of control and depression (r=.146, p=.039), and between anxiety and depression (r=.651, p<.001).
Conclusion: It is suggested that anxiety and depression for the patients with low bowel function after colorectal cancer surgery should be evaluated and nursing interventions to enhance internal health locus of control need to be developed.
