SAMPLE & SETTING: This parallel randomized pilot study consisted of women with breast cancer admitted to oncology outpatient clinics between November 2019 and January 2021 in Turkey. METHODS & VARIABLES: Participants (N = 40) were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 20) or control group (n = 20). The intervention group used the mobile application in conjunction with usual care. The control group received usual care. Participants were assessed during the first, third, and last chemotherapy cycles. Data were collected using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality-of-Life Questionnaire-Core 30 and the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System. RESULTS: During the study, the decrease in general health and physical functioning and the increase in the severity of depression/sadness in the intervention group were statistically lower than in the control group. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: The use of a mobile application for symptom management may promote general well-being and physical function and may alleviate symptoms of depression/sadness in women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Further studies are needed to evaluate the application in clinical settings with larger groups. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
