Breast cancer arises as a result of abnormal cells forming in the breast at an uncontrolled and irregular rate. There are several types of treatment for breast cancer patients and one of them is chemotherapy. The frequency of chemotherapy can cause several effects that can worsen the patient's functional status. Functional status is an ability to perform daily tasks that include work, self-care, and maintenance of family or social roles. This study aims to identify ADL compliance in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. This study used a descriptive design, the sample was taken using a non-probability sampling method, namely accidental sampling and the instrument used was a questionnaire compiled using a Likert scale. The reliability test of this study used a Cronbach Alpha of 0.917. Data collection was carried out from September 2015 to August 2016. The description of ADL fulfillment of breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy was described to determine the frequency and percentage. The results showed that the fulfillment of ADL in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy was independent (20 people, 54.1%), partial dependence (10 people, 27%), and total dependence (7 people, 18.9%). It can be concluded that most breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy can carry out their Activity Daily Living with an independent level of ability.

Chemotherapy can experience changes in functional status breast cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to describe the functional status of breast cancer patients with chemotherapy, with design uses descriptive analysis. The sample is all breast cancer patients with chemotherapy at RSUD Kraton Kabupaten Pekalongan. The respondents is 46, with sampling method used total sampling. The results of this study is 67.4% had an assessment of functional status in category A which meant that they were independent in 6 function including the functions of bathing, dressing, toileting, moving, continental and eating. 10.9% of respondents have functional status category F. 4.3% of respondents have functional status categories B, C, D, E, and G. Comprehensive nursing care is needed to improve the functional status of breast cancer patients with chemotherapy.

306 Background: The ASCO Choosing Wisely Campaign and other published guidelines recommend avoidance of aggressive treatments in early-stage cancer patients with limited life expectancy. However, patients with more advanced cancers are likely to benefit from aggressive treatment. The population-based SEER-MHOS (Medicare Health Outcomes Survey) provides unique data to allow assessment of aggressiveness of cancer treatment by cancer stage and patient frailty. Methods: MHOS includes patient-reported functional deficits in a sample of Medicare beneficiaries, and has been linked with SEER data which provide diagnostic and treatment data. This analysis included 2605 patients diagnosed with non-metastatic breast cancer from 1999-2006 who had pretreatment frailty data – which was calculated using a validated index based on age, comorbidity, and functional deficit. Each patient was classified as “healthy,” “intermediate,” or “frail.” Treatment aggressiveness was examined for each group. Results: Comorbidity and functional deficits were very common. For example, 11% had chronic lung disease, 17% diabetes, 52% low back pain, 50% reported difficulty walking several blocks, and 11% difficulty bathing. Almost all individuals with localized and regional breast cancers had surgery (Table 1). However, frail patients with localized cancers were less likely to receive post-lumpectomy radiotherapy (RT, p < .001); frail patients with regional cancers were less likely to receive post-mastectomy RT (p = .02). A sizable proportion of healthy patients (25-32%) do not receive post-lumpectomy RT. Conclusions: Comorbidities and functional status limitations are common in Medicare breast cancer patients. There appears to be an underutilization of adjuvant RT in healthy breast cancer patients, and use is less in frail patients. [Table: see text]

Objective: To investigate the level and influencing factors of benefit discovery in patients with breast cancer after operation. Methods: Convenient sampling method was used to evaluate the change of benefit discovery level of 60 patients with breast cancer after operation in a cancer ward of a hospital by using Chinese version of benefit discovery rating scale and general information questionnaire. Results: The level of benefit discovery of breast cancer patients at different stages was statistically different (P < 0.05). Age and education level entered the multiple linear stepwise regression equation of influencing factors of benefit discovery level of breast cancer patients (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Targeted nursing measures should be taken to improve the quality of life of patients with breast cancer.
