- NCT06578858

- Universidade Federal de Pernambuco
- Brief Summary
To conduct this research, the following guiding question was formulated: "Can immunonutrition, combined with the assessment of SOC and resilience, provide a broad view of the physical and psychological results during the treatment and recovery process of patients undergoing gastric cancer surgery?". This led to the formulation of the following hypothesis: "Patients who received immunonutrition and who have higher levels of resilience and sense of coherence will tend to exhibit more favorable clinical and laboratory outcomes for recovery after gastric cancer surgery.
In order to answer the question and test the study hypothesis, the general objective consisted of:
To evaluate the association of clinical and laboratory outcomes with the sense of coherence and resilience of patients undergoing gastric cancer surgery who received immunonutrition.
In view of this general objective, the following specific objectives were formulated:
* To evaluate the levels of resilience and sense of coherence in patients undergoing gastric cancer surgery who received immunonutrition.
* Analyze the results of blood count and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) in patients who received immunonutrition after gastric cancer surgery.
* Identify the association between resilience levels, sense of coherence, blood count and CRP values with clinical outcomes, such as length of hospital stay and wound recovery, in patients undergoing gastric cancer surgery who used immunonutrition.
