Sponsor's own description

Aim: The study was performed to examine effects of Health Belief Model based nursing interventions given at home visits on prevention of lymphedema in women having breast surgery. Methods: The study had an experimental design. 72 women receiving radiotherapy after breast surgery, of whom 37 formed the intervention group and 35 formed the control group. The study had an experimental design. Data were collected with a personal information questionnaire, Quick-Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Score (Q-DASH), European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life for Breast Cancer 23 (EORTC QLQ-BR23), Strategies Used by Patients to Promote Health (SUPPH), Arm Circumference Form at three home visits at three-month intervals. Hypotheses of the study 1. Extremity function restrictions will be lower in the intervention group than in the control group. 2. Self-efficacy levels will be higher in the intervention group than in the control group. 3. Functions improving the quality of life will be higher in the intervention group than in the control group. 4. There will be fewer symptoms reducing the quality of life in the intervention group than in the control group. 5. The incidence of lymphedema will be lower in the intervention group than in the control group. 6. The mean cost of the intervention group at home visits, will be lower than in the control group. What does this paper contribute? * Nurses can play an effective role in enabling women undergoing breast surgery to acquire behavior of lymphedema prevention. This may reduce treatment costs. * Future research should evaluate collaborative models of care in general practice aimed at improving lymphedema prevention for women undergoing breast surgery. * Policymakers should consider introducing funding measures for breast cancer survivors by nurses.
