The effect of the preoperational psychoeducation program for Taiwanese breast cancer patients: A three-month follow-up study
Open accessAbstract
Objective: Studies suggest that psychosocial interventions might be more effective during highly stressful periods, such as before surgery. This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of the Preoperational Health Psychology Education program among Taiwanese breast cancer patients. Methods: A total of 137 adult women (1) diagnosed with breast cancer; and (2) admitted to the ward for surgery were recruited to join the program one day before surgery. Emotional distress, worries, and cancer self-efficacy were evaluated at admission, post-program, and 3-month post-surgery. Patients were grouped into high/low distress groups, and mixed-design ANOVA was used to examine the program's effectiveness. Results: = .068). The post-hoc tests revealed significant decreases in emotional distress and worry in the high distress group. Conclusion: The program was found helpful in reducing emotional distress and worries. The effect lasting for three-month for those with higher preoperational emotional distresses. Innovation: This psycho-education program with a relatively rare one-session design, targeted at a less-studied pre-surgery period, is helpful to a less-studied population, Asian cancer patients.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
