Objective: To evaluate and analyze the influencing factors of upper limb lymphedema after breast cancer surgery, and to study effective nursing intervention measures. Methods: 500 cases of early breast cancer patients from October 2017 to December 2020 were selected, all patients underwent surgical intervention, retrospectively analyzed the basic clinical data of patients, and statistically analyzed the influencing factors of upper limb lymphedema. All patients with upper extremity lymphedema received high-quality nursing intervention, and the specific nursing effect was analyzed. Results: Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors of upper limb lymphedema after breast cancer surgery included hypertension, postoperative upper limb functional exercise, delayed healing of incision, radiotherapy and so on. After nursing intervention, the patients’ elbow 10cm, elbow 10cm, wrist size value and VAS score were better than those before nursing (P < 0.05). The quality of life score of patients after nursing intervention was significantly better than that before nursing (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Hypertension, postoperative upper limb functional exercise, delayed healing of incision, radiotherapy and other factors can induce upper limb lymphedema after breast cancer surgery. Effective nursing intervention can alleviate the condition of patients with upper limb lymphedema and improve their quality of life, which is worthy of comprehensive promotion.

Object: Explore the application and actual effect of MET (Muscle Energy) technology after breast cancer surgery with upper limb dysfunction. Methods: Taking 40 female breast cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from September 2017 to June 2019 as the research objects, all of them successfully completed modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer. According to different nursing methods, the patients were randomly divided into two groups. The experiment There were 20 cases in each group and the control group. The control group was given routine functional recovery exercise intervention after the operation, and the experimental group added MET technology to the base of the control group. One month after the operation, the functional recovery of the affected limbs of the two groups of patients was effectively assessed. The upper limb dysfunction of the two groups was compared by statistical methods, and the shoulder joint range of motion (ROM) was used for performance. Results: Through early functional recovery training and MET technology, 19 cases of ROM in the experimental group showed compliance (95%), compared with only 14 cases (70%) in the control group. The difference in upper limb dysfunction between the two groups is very obvious with statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusions: Early functional recovery training combined with muscle energy technology can promote the recovery of upper limb dysfunction after breast cancer surgery faster and better, which is conducive to the recovery of patients as soon as possible and improve the quality of life.

Purpose: To map pain frequency and pain intensity according to activities in the physical domain of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (DASH), at three, six and nine months after breast cancer surgery. In addition, to verify the correlation between upper limb function and pain intensity. Methods: This is a prospective cohort study, with follow-up at three time points. 22 Brazilian women diagnosed with breast cancer were included at three months after breast surgery. They performed the DASH questionnaire, the Body Pain Diagram and the Visual Analogue Scale. Frequency measures were used to analyze the frequency and intensity of pain in the items of the physical domain of the DASH. Pearson's correlation coefficient between pain intensity and the DASH total score at the three different times was calculated, a 95% confidence interval was set. Results: For twenty-two women at three, six and nine months after surgery, the body area with the highest pain frequency was the upper limb (UL) homolateral to the surgery, although, the contralateral UL was also cited as one of the areas with the highest pain frequency at sixth and ninth month. Pain intensity at three and six months remained mild and moderate in ninth month. The DASH activities with the highest pain frequency were: “putting something on a shelf above your head”, “doing heavy household chores” and “carrying a heavy object”. The correlation between pain intensity and function of the UL contralateral to surgery at nine months was strong (r=0,718; p0.01). Conclusion: The body area with the highest pain frequency at all three times points of analysis was the UL homolateral to the surgery, although the contralateral UL was also present in sixth and ninth month. There was an increase in pain intensity over time. The most painful activities were those that required large amplitudes in different planes of motion. At the ninth month, pain in the contralateral UL showed a strong correlation with limb dysfunction.
