Abstract
The objective of this study was to explore the association between sense of coherence, blood sugar, duration of initial oral feeding and recovery in patients after open colorectal resection surgery. The sample comprised 75 patients who had been admitted in intensive care units and general wards at two tertiary care hospitals, from January 2015 to March 2016. Data collection was performed by using a demographic data questionnaire, the sense of coherence, the blood sugar, duration of initial oral feeding, and recovery after open colorectal resection surgery record. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and Pearson, s product moment correlation coefficient.
The results revealed that more than half of the sample were male (56.00%), aged between 34 to 88 years. There were 97.31% of the sample senses of coherence at a high level, 12.00% had hyperglycemia, and 38.67% had duration of initial oral feeding record within 72 hours after open colorectal resection surgery. The sense of coherence was positively correlated with recovery after open colorectal resection surgery (r = .277, p < .05); however, blood sugar and duration of initial oral feeding was not statistically correlated with recovery after open colorectal resection surgery (r = - .196, p > .05).
Based on the study findings, it is recommended that nurse and the health care team should enhance sense of coherence for this group of patients. This will help increase recovery after open colorectal resection surgery.
