Description

Introduction: Women with Breast Cancer (BC) under chemotherapy are at risk of complications
affecting their Quality of Life (QoL), which need specific discharge planning.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the effect of a discharge planning program on the
QoL of women with BC.
Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 72 women
with BC undergoing chemotherapy referred to oncology wards in Kermanshah, Iran.
They were divided into groups of intervention (n=35) and control group (n=35) using the
block randomization method. For the intervention group, the discharge planning program
was implemented individually and in group at least 4 sessions, each for 30-45 minutes.
Patients’ QoL in both groups was measured before, one month after, and three months
after intervention using two questionnaires of European Organization for Research and
Treatment of Cancer (QLQ C-30 and QLQ-BR23). The collected data were analyzed using
ANOVA, chi-square test, t-test, and repeated measures ANOVA. The significance level was
set at 0.05.
Results: The mean age of participants was 47.71±10.4 years, and majority of them were in
the second stage of BC. There was a significant difference in all functional scales of QoL in the
intervention group over time from baseline to three months after discharge (P<0.05), except
in sexual functioning (P=0.119) and sexual enjoyment (P=0.210).
Conclusion: The discharge planning program has a positive effect on the Quality of Life of
women with Brest Cancer.
