干预措施:

In addition to standard care, participants will receive digital approach of WhatsApp-assisted prehabilitation programme and then start the home-based training for about 3-4 weeks prior to the surgery. The WhatsApp-assisted prehabilitation includes exercises training, dietary advice and psychological support. Contents will contain elements of physical training and psychological therapy will be delivered through WhatsApp at three sessions (day 1, 3 & 5) per week for 30 minutes and 15 minutes respectively, educational information associated with colorectal cancer surgery and prehabilitation(e.g. high risks factors towards surgical complications) and dietary advices (e.g. recipes) will be delivered on weekly basis (day 1)

随机方法(请说明由何人用什么方法产生随机序列):

A computer-based randomization will be utilized to allocate patients into either one group. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either control group or intervention group. Block randomization was performed through a computer-generated sequence, and serial and opaque with sealed envelopes will be prepared in by independent staff not involved in clinical care or screening or assessment, in which will be used to conceal the sequence until the intervention as assigned at the outpatient preoperative clinic

数据采集和管理(说明:数据采集和管理由两部分组成,一为病例记录表(Case Record Form, CRF),二为电子采集和管理系统(Electronic Data Capture, EDC),如ResMan即为一种基于互联网的EDC:

All research data would be handled in line with HA/Hospital’s policy in handling/storage/destruction of patients’ medical records. All collected data will be kept strictly confidential and for research purposes and only the investigator and responsible research staff have exclusive access to the datasets. The storage period will be 6 years including the period of study. A new electronic device (Smartphone) and a new SIM card will be purchased for this study. This SIM card will be verified and completed with the real name registration under study investigator according to the Telecommunication (Registration of SIM Cards) Regulation in Hong Kong and the phone number of this SIM card will be used to register for the WhatsApp Business Account. During these periods, the electronic device (mobile) used for digital intervention and the informed consent will be kept in a specific locked cabinet. The electronic device is also encrypted with a password and the password will be changed regularly in every 3 months. Trusted and encrypted network is used to deliver the WhatsApp intervention. After completion of aforesaid storage period, the mobile SIM card and the WhatsApp account will be destroyed and reset. All hard copy of data will also be discarded as confidential waste 6 years after the completion of study. The Principal Investigator, and the coordinating investigator will be responsible for safekeeping of the personal data and study data during and after the study.
