BackgroundStomas in colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors lead to body image problems. Advances in treatment help reduce the rate of stoma formation, but body image distress is still frequently experienced in CRC survivors.ObjectivesThis review is aimed toward mapping and describing the state of knowledge regarding body image in patients with CRC.MethodsA systematic literature search complying with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines was conducted. Screening and data extraction were performed by 2 reviewers independently for all potentially eligible studies.ResultsA total of 56 eligible articles were selected. The majority of these studies were quantitative studies (85%). The eligible studies were classified into 4 broad categories: instruments used to assess body image, prevalence of body image distress, factors related to body image, and impact of body image distress. The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-CR38) colorectal questionnaire was the most common measurement tool found among the reviewed studies (70%), and body image distress was reported by 25.5% to 86% of participants. Excluding gender, age, type of surgery, adjuvant therapy, time from diagnosis, social support, and stoma status, changes in bowel habits was identified as affecting the body image of patients with CRC.ConclusionChanging bowel habits emerged as a significant factor causing body image distress for CRC survivors.Implications for PracticeClinicians should raise awareness about body image distress in patients with CRC, focus on finding effective measures and interventions intended to help alleviate symptoms of bowel dysfunction, and prepare patients to adapt to altered bowel functions.

Objective: To understand the experiences of psychosocial challenges encountered by working-age colorectal cancer (CRC) patients during their cancer trajectory. Methods: This study was carried out using the phenomenological analysis method. From January to February 2022, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 working-age CRC patients in Guangzhou, China. Thematic analysis was performed using the NVivo 12 software based on the seven steps of Colaizzi's method. This study reporting followed the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research (SRQR) checklist. Results: The average age of participants was 40.32 years old at the time of interviews. Three overarching themes emerged: (1) Unexpected transition to the sick role; (2) Unfulfilled familial obligations; (3) Experiencing isolation; and eight subthemes were identified. Conclusion: Working-age CRC patients need and long for returning to normality to fulfill their life roles, however, road ahead is arduous, as they struggle with negative emotions originated from transition to the sick role, unfulfilled familial obligations and perceive isolation from healthy peers and career during their cancer journey. Therefore, multifaceted psychosocial interventions aimed at improving psychological wellbeing are suggested to be delivered to the population. Furthermore, it is suggested to encourage patients to utilize available social support resources, so as to minimize the negative impacts of psychosocial problems on their return to normality.
