详细描述
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of telenursing services on chemotherapy symptoms and comfort levels in patients with breast cancer in Turkey. The study employs an experimental research methodology with a sample of 96 ambulatory patients (48 experimental, 48 control) who were receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer for the first time in a state hospital. Research data were collected by using "Patient Information Form", "Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale", "General Comfort Questionnaire, "Symptoms Follow-up Form", and "Telephone Call Form". The experimental group received telenursing service every week until the end of the four-cycle chemotherapy treatment, which started one week after the first treatment. The control group did not receive any intervention. Investigators analyzed data with SPSS 15.0 (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) with comparative statistical methods of MannWhitney U Test, Chi-Square Test, One Way Analysis of Variance in Repeated Measurements, and Pearson Correlation.

结局指标
主要结局
Edmonton Symptom Assessment System
时间窗: 10 minutes
This tool is designed to assist in the assessment of symptoms common in cancer patients: pain,fatique, nausea, sadness, anxiety, insomnia, anorexia, wellbeing and shortness of breath, change in skin-nails, mucositis and numbness in hands. The patient circles the most appropriate number to indicate where the symptom is between "0" and "10". "0" is the minimum value, which means there is no change and it is a better outcome for the patient. "10" is the maximum value, means that the symptom level is the highest, which is a worse outcome for the patient.
