The aim of this study was to investigate the symptom management and the functional status of women who underwent surgery for breast cancer.
This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in a university hospital surgical oncology clinic. This study was conducted on 80 patients who had undergone breast cancer surgery in the last 5 years in a surgical oncology clinic of a university hospital. Study data were collected using the patient identification form, Symptom-Management Self-Efficacy Scale Related to Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer, and Functional Living Index-Cancer. The data were analyzed with the SPSS program.
The mean total score of Symptom-Management Self-Efficacy Scale Related to Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer was found to be 157.28±36.86, and the mean total score of the Functional Living Index-Cancer was found to be 103.79±18.77. When the correlation between the Functional Living Index-Cancer and Symptom-Management Self-Efficacy Scale Related to Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer scales used in the study was examined, it was determined that there was a positive statistically significant correlation (p<0.05) between the subscale and scale total scores.
As a result of the study, it was determined that the self-efficacy and functional status of the patients were poor. Their functional status was also determined to be improved as the symptom self-efficacy levels increased.
本研究旨在调查接受乳腺癌手术的女性的症状管理和功能状态。
这是一项在大学医院外科肿瘤诊所进行的横断面描述性研究。该研究在一所大学医院外科肿瘤诊所对过去 5 年内接受乳腺癌手术的 80 名患者进行。使用患者识别表、乳腺癌化疗相关症状管理自我效能感量表和癌症功能性生存指数收集研究数据。使用 SPSS 程序对数据进行分析。
乳腺癌化疗相关症状管理自我效能感量表的总分平均值为 157.28±36.86，癌症功能性生存指数的总分平均值为 103.79±18.77。当研究中使用的癌症功能性生存指数和乳腺癌化疗相关症状管理自我效能感量表之间的相关性进行检查时，发现子量表和量表总分之间存在正显著相关性（p<0.05）。
研究结果表明，患者的自我效能感和功能状态较差。随着症状自我效能感水平的提高，他们的功能状态也被确定得到了改善。
