The Effect of Nurse-Led Coaching Program on Self-Care Agency and Quality of Life in Reconstructed Breast Cancer Patients

Sponsor: Gazi University

Summary

The primary objective of this clinical study is to examine the effects of a nurse-led coaching program on self-care agency and quality of life in patients who have undergone reconstructive surgery for breast cancer. 1. Is there a difference in self-care agency between breast reconstructive patients who received a nurse-led coaching program and those who did not? 2. Is there a difference in quality of life between breast reconstructive patients who received a nurse-led coaching program and those who did not? The secondary objective of this clinical study is to determine the satisfaction levels of patients who participated in a nurse-led coaching program for breast reconstructive surgery. The secondary questions the study aims to answer are: 3. What is the satisfaction level of breast reconstructive patients who received a nurse-led coaching program? The researchers will compare whether there are differences in self-care agency and quality of life between breast cancer patients who received a nurse-led coaching program (intervention group) and those who did not (control group). Participants: * Patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be informed of the study's purpose during their postoperative hospital stay, and their informed consent will be obtained. Patients who agree to participate will complete an Introductory Information Form, the Self-Care Agency Scale, and the EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BR-42 Quality of Life Scales. * After completing the pre-test measurements, the researchers will randomly assign patients to either the control or intervention groups using a random number table. * Patients in the intervention group will receive a routine debriefing on the day of discharge and a total of nine coaching sessions, scheduled weekly for the first 6 weeks and biweekly for the following 6 weeks. These sessions will be conducted via online meeting. * Patients in the control group will receive a routine debriefing only on the day of discharge. * Post-test measurements will be administered to both groups at 12 weeks post-operatively.
