Theoretical Explanation of the Benefits of a Nutrition Counseling and Meal Delivery Program for Lung Cancer Patients
Study Overview
A study was conducted to understand how a medically tailored meal delivery program and intensive nutrition counseling helped individuals with lung cancer. The study involved interviews with participants from four cancer centers in the USA.
Findings
Analysis of the data led to the identification of three key categories: engaging in treatment, adjusting to diagnosis, and active coping. The participants engaged in the program throughout their treatment, leading to improved adjustment to their diagnosis and active coping through self-care and behavior change.
Implications
The study suggests that the Food is Medicine intervention may help individuals with lung cancer to overcome adversity, develop resilience, and make positive behavior changes. The use of medically tailored meals and intensive nutrition counseling supported participants in adjusting to their diagnosis and led to perceived improvements in behavior.
