Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to apply and assess the clinical feasibility of a health behavior theory-based ecological nutrition intervention program, providing nutrition care tailored to the unmet needs of esophageal cancer survivors after surgery.

Esophageal cancer survivors will receive a 4-week nutrition intervention program tailored to their individual nutritional needs. The program includes providing nutritional guidelines, customized care food, encouraging walking through a wearable device, and weekly telephone counseling. The evaluation of the program will assess food intake, adherence to dietary guidelines, activity level, nutritional indicators (such as PNI and NRI), weight change, fatigue, symptoms, quality of life, and satisfaction with meals and services. Additionally, interviews will be conducted after the intervention to evaluate the patient's experience.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Nutrition Intervention group

This is a single-arm study, with all participants in the intervention arm. Patients in the intervention arm will receive a 4-week nutrition management program.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Ecological nutritional intervention

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Patients in the intervention arm will receive a 4-week nutrition management program(1 week for patients more than 4 months post-surgery), which includes providing nutritional guidelines, home delivery of personalized care foods, encouragement of physical activity using a wearable device, and weekly phone calls to check on nutritional goals and symptoms. Management services are also available through the mobile application.
