Abstract:
Objective Self-management was adopted to intervene patients with breast cancer during chemotherapy in order to know about its effects on breast cancer patients′medical compliance behavior. Methods Samples were 154 breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy after surgery in breast surgery of the first affiliated hospital of Zhengzhou university. They accepted the docetaxel and cyclophosphamide (TC) program of chemotherapy. Patients were divided into two groups by random number table, one group as control group(80 patients) and the other group as experimental group (74 patients). Different nursing care were conducted during the two groups, the control group patients given routine nursing care, the experimental group patients given routine nursing care and self-management. The medical behavior compliance and upper extremities edema incidence for the two groups of patient were surveyed after the intervention and then evaluate the effect of the intervention. SPSS (version 17.0) was used to carry out statistical analysis. Results The total score of medical compliance behavior, the experimental group was (18.36±1.30) points, the control group was (16.70±1.57) points, the experimental group was higher than the control group, and there was statistically significant difference between two groups(t=7.093, P<0.05).The experimental group scores were higher than the control group in the functional exercise compliance (4.33±0.77 vs. 3.55±0.90), prevent or reduce the edema compliance (4.41± 0.61 vs. 3.84±0.88), PICC or venous access port of regular maintenance compliance (4.62±0.52 vs. 4.33± 0.57)(t=5.704,4.594,3.268,P<0.05);There were statistically significant differences between two groups (t=5.704,4.594,3.268,P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between two groups (P >0.05) in scores of chemotherapy compliance on time.The influence of self-management on the incidence of upper extremities edema was as follow: The upper extremities edema incidence in control patients was 23.68% (18/76) which was higher than 11.11% (8/72) in the experimental group (χ2=4.036, P < 0.05). Conclusions Given self- management intervention for breast cancer patients with postoperative chemotherapy, the medical behavior compliance was increased, and the incidence of upper extremities edema was decreased.
