Theoretical framework: Symptom Management Model for CRC Survivors.

Note. Symptom experiences, disease outcomes, and symptom management strategies are interrelated within the contexts of health and illness, person, and environment. CRC symptoms, potential impacts of CRC symptoms, and potential risk factors of CRC symptoms are focused on understanding the dynamics and interplay of these various health components to inform effective interventions for CRC survivors.
