Results The scores of cancer-related fatigue scale including cognition, emotion, feeling and behavior were respectively （3.24 ±1.51）,（3.15 ±1.42）,（3.13 ±1.58） and （3.11 ±1.31） in the observation group after the intervention, and were （4.02 ±1.81）,（4.23 ±1.72）,（4.15 ±2.01） and （4.14 ±1.85） in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant （t=2.04,2.98,2.46,2.80, respectively;P〈0.05）. The score of life quality was （87.24 ±6.53） in the observation group after the intervention, and was （82.67 ± 5.34 ） in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant （ t =3.340, P 〈0.01 ）. Conclusions The extended nursing including the dynamic health education, psychological counseling, diet and medication guidance through the QQ software, telephone interview and home visit can reduce the cancer-related fatigue of patients with breast cancer, improve their life quality, and is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
