Objective: To systematically explore the structural characteristics of major symptom clusters in patients with colorectal cancer-related permanent enterostomy, and to identify core symptoms and bridge symptoms. Methods: A total of 296 patients with colorectal cancer-related permanent enterostomy who attended our hospital from May 2023 to December 2024 were enrolled as research subjects. General demographic data and the M.D. Anderson Symptom Inventory-Gastrointestinal Cancer(MDASI-GI) were used to collect patient information. Exploratory factor analysis was performed to extract symptom clusters. R software was utilized for network analysis, and centrality indicators [expected influence(EI)] and bridge centrality indicators [bridge expected influence(BEI)] were employed to identify core symptoms and bridge symptoms, respectively. Results: The most prevalent symptoms were fatigue, abdominal distension, abdominal pain/cramping, and drowsiness. Among these, fatigue had the highest incidence(64.86%), followed by abdominal distension and abdominal pain/cramping. The top three symptoms with the highest severity scores were also fatigue, abdominal distension, and abdominal pain/cramping. Exploratory factor analysis extracted three symptom clusters: gastrointestinal symptom cluster, emotional and psychological symptom cluster, and systemic and sensory symptom cluster. Network analysis revealed that the strongest correlation within the gastrointestinal symptom cluster was between diarrhea and abdominal pain/cramping(r=0.411, P=0.03); within the emotional and psychological symptom cluster, the strongest correlation was between drowsiness and fatigue(r=0.389, P=0.08); and within the systemic and sensory symptom cluster, the strongest correlation was between numbness/tingling and shortness of breath(r=0.372, P<0.01). The strongest inter-cluster correlation was observed between abdominal pain/cramping and distress/depression(r=0.255, P<0.01). EI results indicated that abdominal pain/cramping and diarrhea were the core symptoms of the network(EI=4.25, 4.28). BEI results showed that diarrhea, distress/depression, and numbness/tingling served as bridge symptoms connecting their respective clusters to other clusters(BEI=1.61, 1.72, 1.73). Conclusion: Symptoms in patients with permanent colostomy due to colorectal cancer exhibit distinct clustering characteristics, including three major clusters: gastrointestinal, emotional and psychological, systemic and sensory. Abdominal pain/cramping and diarrhea are the core symptoms of the symptom network, while diarrhea, distress/depression and numbness/tingling act as bridge symptoms linking their respective clusters to the entire network. |
