Despite a growing body of research regarding the health-promoting schools (HPS) concept from the World Health Organization (WHO), research on measuring of the HPS is limited.

- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative education and the Papilla Gown on recovery outcomes for women undergoing mastectomy.
