Resumen
GALAN-GONZALEZ, Edna Fabiola y GASCON-CATALAN, Ana María. Correlation between family functioning and healthy lifestyles in patients with colorectal cancer. Hacia promoc. Salud [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.2, pp.147-160. Epub 03-Sep-2021. ISSN 0121-7577. https://doi.org/10.17151/hpsal.2021.26.2.11.
Objective:
To analyze the relationship between family functioning and healthy lifestyles in patients with colorectal cancer.
Materials and methods:
A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted between February and November 2016 in Bogotá (Colombia). A total of 78 patients were evaluated for family functioning and for healthpromoting lifestyles using the ASF-E and HPLP II questionnaires, respectively. The degree of linear relationship between the two quantitative variables was quantified using the Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results:
There is a positive correlation between family functioning and health promoting lifestyles (r: 0.224, p<0.05). The physical activity dimension of healthy lifestyles was associated with a better global family functioning (r: 0.303, p<0.01) and with a greater number of dimensions (coherence, individuation, and maintenance) and goals (stability, control and spirituality).
Conclusions:
Better family functioning of patients with colorectal cancer is positively associated with healthy lifestyles.
