Title: The Construction and Clinical Application of Whole-process Integrated Breast Cancer Rehabilitation Nursing Model


The objective for the construction of whole-process integrated breast cancer rehabilitation nursing model was to determine the guidelines based on evidence for rehabilitation of breast cancer patients; provide support on physiological, social, psychological, health-related behavioral, and environmental fields for patients through the process of diagnosis, treatment, and return to family/society after discharge, which was guided by the concept of holistic rehabilitation, continuous and multi-dimensional management. With the implementation of discharge plans, as well as the application of rehabilitation nursing navigation and the self-management manuals at home, nurses can provide continuous nursing through the scientific, systematic and comprehensive management, as well as regular follow-up to evaluate the rehabilitation effect of breast cancer patients.


Clinical studies have confirmed that the whole-process integrated breast cancer rehabilitation nursing model can effectively improve the anxiety and fatigue of the patients, improve the upper limb function and self-image level of them, and improve the overall quality of life and the nursing service satisfaction of breast cancer patients, which is suitable for the whole-process care of breast cancer patients in China, and is worthy of clinical application.
