Assessing the Impact of Multimedia-Based Nutrition Education Interventions for Cancer Patients

Abstract

Cancer-related malnutrition is a major challenge. It effects treatment outcomes, quality of life, and survival among patients with cancer. Traditional nutrition counselling was a constrained in Covid 19 duration due to the limited healthcare resources, geographical barriers, and restricted follow-up visits. Recent advances in multimedia technologies including mobile health applications, multimedia nutrition platforms, web-based educational programs, video-assisted counselling, and digital caregiver support systems have transformed the delivery of nutritional care in oncology. This study synthesizes on the role of multimedia-based interventions in improving nutritional behaviour among cancer patients. Recent studies suggests that multimedia interventions enhance dietary adherence, symptom monitoring, and access to nutrition services. Telehealth-based nutritional counselling has expanded access to specialized care, particularly in rural and resource-constrained settings in covid 19. Future research should focus on culturally adapted, scalable, and evidence-based multimedia nutrition interventions integrated within routine oncology care.
