Abstract

Objectives

Aimed to determine the effect of education provided with a mobile application on the supportive care needs and quality of life of women undergoing breast-conserving surgery.

Methods

The study was conducted in 81 patients. The experimental group received mobile application and the control group received standard education. Fisher's Exact Test, Chi-Square test, Student's t Test, Mann-Whitney U test, mixed design analysis of variance and Bonferroni-Dunn test were used to analyze the data.

Results

While the pre-study supportive care needs scores of the women were similar in the experimental (85.37 ± 23.58) and control (83.13 ± 23.03) groups, they decreased significantly in the experimental group at the 4th and 8th-week measurements (54.34 ± 27.28; 58.78 ± 16.51) (p < .05). In the 4th and 8th week measurements, the quality of life of the experimental group (72.26 ± 14.12; 71.04 ± 8.12) increased significantly, while no significant change was found in the control group (42.50 ± 14.38; 45.63 ± 8.28).

Conclusions

It was found that the supportive care needs of the decreased and their quality of life increased after the education given to women with a mobile application.

Implications for Nursing Practice

This study ensured that women who had a sufficiently intense and exhausting process during the cancer treatment process could comfortably receive care support and education with the mobile application at any time and place they wanted. It also revealed that nurses can provide care and education support to their patients at any time and place they want with the mobile application in their busy work tempo.

使用移动应用程序进行教育对乳腺癌妇女支持性护理需求和生活质量的影响：随机对照试验

目的旨在确定通过移动应用程序提供的教育对接受保乳手术的妇女的支持性护理需求和生活质量的影响：研究对象为 81 名患者。实验组接受移动应用程序，对照组接受标准教育。采用费雪精确检验、奇偶检验、学生 t 检验、曼-惠特尼 U 检验、混合设计方差分析和 Bonferroni-Dunn 检验分析数据：实验组（85.37 ± 23.58）和对照组（83.13 ± 23.03）妇女在研究前的支持性护理需求得分相似，但在第 4 周和第 8 周的测量中，实验组的支持性护理需求得分显著下降（54.34 ± 27.28; 58.78 ± 16.51）（P < .05）。在第 4 周和第 8 周的测量中，实验组的生活质量（72.26±14.12；71.04±8.12）明显提高，而对照组无明显变化（42.50±14.38；45.63±8.28）：结论：研究发现，通过手机应用软件对妇女进行教育后，她们对支持性护理的需求减少了，生活质量提高了：这项研究确保了在癌症治疗过程中经历了足够紧张和疲惫的妇女可以在任何时间和地点通过手机应用软件舒适地接受护理支持和教育。该研究还表明，护士可以在繁忙的工作节奏中随时随地利用移动应用程序为患者提供护理和教育支持。
