Predstavitev projekta OREH - organizirana celostna rehabilitacija bolnikov z rakom debelega črevesa in danke

Celostna rehabilitacija vključuje aktivne postopke, s katerimi onkološkim bolnikom omogočimo najboljše telesno, duševno in socialno delovanje od diagnoze dalje. Številne klinične raziskave kažejo, da onkološko zdravljenje povzroča številne posledice, kar bolnikom prinaša mnogotere težave, zaradi katerih se njihovo življenje korenito spremeni. Celostna rehabilitacija za onkološke bolnike se danes v Sloveniji ne izvaja na ravni države. Bolniki so deležni rehabilitacije po onkološkem zdravljenju sporadično in v neenakomernem obsegu v posameznih ustanovah, kjer se zdravijo bolniki z rakom in v zdravstvenih domovih. V okviru projekta Organizirane celostne rehabilitacije bolnikov z rakom debelega črevesa in danke bomo poiskušali ugotoviti, ali je kakovost življenja bolnikov z rakom debelega črevesa in danke, ki so vključenih v interventno skupino boljša. S primerjavo interventne in kontrolne skupine bomo ugotovili tudi, kako je intervencija vplivala na trajanje njihove bolniške odsotnosti in na invalidsko upokojevanje. Na osnovi analize rezultatov bomo pripravili načrtovano oceno potreb po celostni rehabilitaciji za rak debelega črevesa in danke, ki bo podlaga za načrtovanje resursov na državni ravni. Comprehensive rehabilitation includes active procedures that enable oncology patients to have the best physical, mental and social functioning from diagnosis onwards. Numerous clinical studies show that oncological treatment causes many consequences, which brings many problems to patients, due to which their lives change radically. Comprehensive rehabilitation for oncology patients is currently not carried out at the national level in Slovenia. Patients receive rehabilitation after oncological treatment sporadically and to an uneven extent in individual institutions where cancer patients are treated and in medical centers. Within the framework of the project Organized comprehensive rehabilitation of patients with colon and rectal cancer, we will try to determine whether the quality of life of patients with colon and rectal cancer, who are included in the intervention group, is better. By comparing the intervention and control groups, we will also determine how the intervention affected the duration of their sick leave and disability retirement. Based on the analysis of the results, we will prepare a planned assessment of the needs for comprehensive rehabilitation for colon and rectal cancer, which will be the basis for resource planning at the national level.
