Abstract
Objective To explore the effects of teach-back method on the compliance of functional exercises in postoperative patients with breast cancer. Methods Totally 105 postoperative patients with breast cancer admitted in our hospital from March to September 2015 were selected as the control group, and 114 patients from October 2015 to March 2016 were selected as the intervention group. Patients in the intervention group received the functional exercises based on teach-back method, while patients in the control group received routine health education method. The mastery skill score and compliance of functional exercise one day before discharge in two groups were compared. Results The mastery skill score of functional exercise one day before discharge was (63.73±5.51) in the intervention group, which was significantly higher than (56.45±4.88) in the control group (P<0.05); the constituent ratio of fully compliance, partial compliance and noncompliance status in the intervention group one day before discharge were 64.91%, 25.44%, 9.65%, and they were obviously superior to the control group (47.62%, 36.19%, 16.19%) (P<0.05). Conclusions Teach back method can effectively improve the skill and compliance of functional exercise in postoperative patients with breast cancer.
