Professional support is required for such patients to manage their eating problems at home.Objective:To explore the dietary experiences of older adults with gastrointestinal cancer undergoing treatment, and their perceptions of how the disease and its treatment affected their eating.Interventions/Methods:Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 older patients (aged≥ 70 years) with gastrointestinal cancer in Japan. Interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis.Results:Three key themes were identified: impact on daily life, significance of eating, and rediscovering the joy of eating. Participants experienced dietary changes and reduced social interactions. Challenging situations allowed them to reassess their eating values and habits. By seeking their own coping strategies, they rediscovered the pleasure of eating.Conclusions:Older adults with gastrointestinal cancer tried to cope with dietary changes based on their reaffirmed values while seeking the joy of eating.Implications for Practice:A multidisciplinary healthcare team can support patients’ self-management by seeking to understand patients’ eating values and habits rather than focusing only on patients’ weight control and nutritional status.
