Summary: The study found that colorectal cancer patients, especially those with rectal cancer, are more likely to experience sleep issues, such as changes in sleep patterns after diagnosis. This suggests that sleep-focused survivorship care may need to be adapted based on colorectal cancer site to provide appropriate support for patients.

Summary: Thai oncology nurses believe that different components of survivorship care plans are helpful for the long-term management of colorectal cancer survivors, support the provision of survivorship care plans, and express their perceived responsibilities for preparing and delivering these plans. The findings suggest that oncology nurses have opportunities to play a significant role in developing and implementing survivorship care plans, but further efforts are needed to expand nurses' roles in survivorship care and establish practice guidelines for integrating survivorship care plans into nursing practice.

Summary: Thai oncology nurses showed high levels of responsibility and confidence in providing survivorship care for CRC survivors, but reported lower frequency of practice, mainly due to lack of physical facilities, knowledge/skills, and educational resources. Nurses with higher education and specialty training in cancer care demonstrated better responsibility perceptions, confidence levels, and frequency of practice.

Summary: This study analyzed the development of sports tours in Iran's tourism industry by conducting 15 interviews with experts and using Glaser's approach principles. The results showed that the development of sports tours is influenced by inhibiting factors such as finance, politics, security, structure, and organization, as well as facilitating factors such as natural attractions, media role, tour guides, service quality, information technology, support, culture, training, and human resources. It is important to remove limiting factors and strengthen facilitating factors for the development of sports tours in Iran.
