Abstract Purpose To investigate the status quo and relationship between self-management efficacy and quality of life (QOL) of patients with breast cancer undergoing endocrine therapy, and to explore the influencing factors of QOL. Methods The convenience sampling method was used to select 240 patients who received endocrine therapy after breast cancer surgery in the First Hospital of China Medical University, the self-designed general data questionnaire, self-management efficacy questionnaire for breast cancer patients with endocrine therapy and quality of life scale for breast cancer patients were used to investigate. The frequency, percentage, mean ± standard deviation were used to describe patients' self-management efficacy and quality of life. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between self-management efficacy and quality of life, and univariate analysis and multiple stepwise regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of QOL. Results The scores of self-management efficacy and QOL of patients with breast cancer endocrine therapy were 125.21 ± 25.57 and 153.33 ± 19.31 respectively, which were at the middle level; self-management efficacy was significantly positively correlated with quality of life ( p < 0.01 ) ; multiple stepwise regression results showed that self-management efficacy, the number of physical symptoms, monthly family income and recurrence and metastasis were the influencing factors of QOL. Conclusion The self-management efficacy of endocrine therapy was positively correlated with QOL in breast cancer patients. The higher the self-management efficacy of endocrine therapy, the better QOL in breast cancer patients. Self-management efficacy is the main factor affecting the quality of life of breast cancer patients undergoing endocrine therapy. Improving the level of self-management efficacy can improve their quality of life.

The Relationship

Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women with an increasing outbreak. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between defensive styles and Islamic quality of life (QoL) with death obsession in women with breast cancer. Methods: This research was a correlational study. The statistical population of the study included 220 female patients with breast cancer; referring to Cancer Patients Association of Gorgan in 2019. According to Krejcie and Morgan’s table, 136 women were selected from breast cancer patients by simple random sampling. Islamic QoL questionnaire of Mohammad Namaqi et al., defense styles questionnaire of Andrews et al., and obsession with death questionnaire of Abdel-Khalek were applied. Data were analyzed; using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Pearson correlation, and stepwise regression. Results: The results showed that there was a negative significant relationship betweenthe developed defensive style and the Islamic QoL with death obsession (P=0.001). There was a positive significant relationship between the neurotic and undeveloped defensive style with the death obsession (P=0.001). In addition, the results of the regression showed that the Islamic QoL (-0.257) and developed defensive style (-0.196) had the potential for predicting the obsession of death. Conclusions: These results emphasize the necessity of the role defensive styles and Islamic QoL on the death obsession. So, therapists and counseling in the treatment of cancer for reducing obsession may benefit from paying attention to Islamic QoL and defensive styles.

Telehealth Intervention

Introduction Telehealth intervention has been proposed as an innovative intervention approach to breast cancer patients, but there are still conflicting results in the literature about its effect. Methods PubMed, EMBASE, CENTRAL and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were searched from inception to 3 October 2016 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which assessed the effect of telehealth intervention versus usual care in breast cancer patients. No language restrictions were used. Standardized mean difference (SMD) with corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was pooled when needed. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were conducted if necessary and feasible. Results Twenty RCTs with a total of 2190 participants were included into this meta-analysis. Compared with usual care, telehealth intervention was associated with higher quality of life (SMD = 0.60, 95% CI 0.18–1.01, p = 0.005) and self-efficacy (SMD = 0.59, 95% CI 0.19–0.98, p = 0.003), with less depression (SMD = −1.29, 95% CI −2.28 to −0.30, p = 0.01), distress (SMD = −0.25, 95% CI −0.40 to −0.10, p = 0.001) and perceived stress (SMD = −0.30, 95% CI, −0.59 to −0.02, p = 0.04). However, anxiety score did not differ significantly between the two groups (SMD = −0.09, 95% CI −0.22 to 0.04, p = 0.17). Discussion Telehealth intervention is superior to usual care in breast cancer patients for improved quality of life, higher self-efficacy and less depression, distress, and perceived stress. However, these results should be recognized cautiously due to between-study heterogeneity, indicating that further well-designed RCTs are warranted.
