Title
The predictors need for complementary interventions using mobile application technology in women with breast cancer
Subject
breast cancer, complementary intervention, mobile-app technology
Description
Introduction: Some women with breast cancer tend to have psycho-social stress, embarrassment from the disease’s
treatment, and difficulty asking for help. Furthermore, several studies indicate limited use of complementary online
intervention in mental and spiritual health care, particularly when using mobile-based technologies. This study
identifies the key factors that affect the need for mobile-app complementary interventions and the variables affecting
them among Indonesian breast cancer patients
Methods: A cross-sectional survey study with a simple random sampling technique included 112 patients between
May and July 2022. The research instrument used is The Quality of Life-Breast Cancer questionnaire, Functional
Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy–Spiritual Well-Being (FACIT-Sp), Palliative Performa Scale Version 2, and The
Need for Complementary Interventions using mobile-app technology (NCIM) to measure Predictors of The Need for
Complementary Interventions. Meanwhile, multiple linear stepwise regression was used, and the potential
multicollinearity effects among NCIM predictive variables were assessed through the collinearity analysis of variable
inflation factors
Results: The psychological-social dimension of quality of life and the faith–peace dimension of FACIT-Sp (F =11.255;
p = 0.001). The most strongly correlated variable is the psychological dimension (t = -3.35, p <0.001).
Conclusions: The key factors that affect the need for mobile-app complementary interventions and the variables
affecting them among Indonesian breast cancer patients are psychological and social dimensions of quality of life and
faith and peace in the spiritual dimension. This study can provide the development of complementary intervention
using mobile application technology.
