Abstract

Purpose

To determine the effect of the interactive nurse support program developed with a mobile application on patient outcomes (symptom management, quality of life, perception of social support, anxiety) in breast cancer patients who received outpatient chemotherapy.

Methods

The randomized controlled study was conducted in the outpatient chemotherapy unit of a public hospital between 2021 and 2023. The study sample consisted of 100 breast cancer patients receiving anthracycline-cyclophoshamide chemotherapy. Patients in the control group received standard care, and patients in the intervention group were applied an interactive nurse support program developed with a mobile application throughout four chemotherapy cycles. Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale (MSAS), EORTC QLQ-C30, EORTC QLQ-BR23 Scales, Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale (MPSSS), Beck Anxiety Scale (BAS) were used in data collection. Data were collected five times, including before chemotherapy (t₀) and at the end of the first week after each chemotherapy (t₁, t₂, t₃, t₄).

Results

MSAS, BAS total scores, EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-BR23 Scales “Symptom Dimension” scores of the patients in the intervention group were found to be significantly lower than the control group at t₁, t₂, t₃, t₄ (p˂0.05). EORTC QLQ-C30 Scale “General Well-Being”, “Functional Status”, EORTC QLQ-BR23 “Functional Status” scores, MPSSS total scores of the patients in the intervention group were found to be significantly higher than the control group at t₁, t₂, t₃, t₄ measurements (p˂0.05).

Conclusions

The interactive nurse support program developed with the mobile application is effective on patient outcomes in breast cancer patients who received outpatient chemotherapy.

与移动应用程序开发的交互式护士支持程序对接受门诊化疗的乳腺癌患者的患者结局的影响：一项随机对照试验

目的探讨移动应用程序开发的交互式护士支持程序对乳腺癌门诊化疗患者预后（症状管理、生活质量、社会支持感知、焦虑）的影响。方法随机对照研究于2021 - 2023年在某公立医院门诊化疗单元进行。研究样本包括100名接受蒽环类药物-环磷酰胺化疗的乳腺癌患者。对照组患者接受标准护理，干预组患者在四个化疗周期中使用移动应用程序开发的交互式护士支持程序。采用记忆症状评估量表（MSAS）、EORTC QLQ-C30、EORTC QLQ-BR23量表、多维感知社会支持量表（MPSSS）、贝克焦虑量表（BAS）进行数据收集。收集数据5次，分别为化疗前（t0）和每次化疗后第一周末（t1、t2、t3、t4）。结果干预组患者的smsas、BAS总分、EORTC QLQ-C30、EORTC QLQ-BR23量表“症状维度”评分在t1、t2、t3、t4时均显著低于对照组（p小于0.05）。干预组患者在t1、t2、t3、t4测量的EORTC QLQ-C30量表“一般幸福感”、“功能状态”、EORTC QLQ-BR23“功能状态”评分、MPSSS总分均显著高于对照组（p小于0.05）。结论基于移动应用程序开发的互动式护士支持程序对乳腺癌门诊化疗患者的预后有较好的影响。试验报名www.clinicaltrials.gov, NCT05739175。
