Effects of a lymphedema prevention program based on the theory of knowledge-attitude-practice on postoperative breast cancer patients: A randomized clinical trial.

Background: Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is one of the common postoperative complications that severely affects the functions of the arm and quality of life. Since lymphedema is difficult to treat and prone to recurrence, early prevention of lymphedema is crucial.

Methods: Patient diagnosed with breast cancer (N = 108) were randomized to the intervention (n = 52) or control group (n = 56).

A Dance Program to Manage A Fatigue-Sleep Disturbance-Depression Symptom Cluster among Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Adjuvant Chemotherapy: A Feasibility Study.

Objective: Fatigue, sleep disturbance, and depression (FSD) are highly prevalent among breast cancer (BC) patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy, constituting a common symptom cluster (i.e., FSD cluster).

Benefits of a WeChat-based multimodal nursing program on early rehabilitation in postoperative women with breast cancer: A clinical randomized controlled trial.

Background: Primary treatments for early-stage breast cancer can cause adverse effects, such as pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbance, that can markedly affect the patients' health-related quality of life.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the benefits of a WeChat-based multimodal nursing program on early rehabilitation in postoperative women with breast cancer.

Design: Clinical randomized controlled trial.

Nomogram predicted risk of peripherally inserted central catheter related thrombosis.

The use of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) is increasing rapidly worldwide. A number of patient-related, clinical-related and device-related characteristics might be risk factors for PICC-related thrombosis. We retrospectively reviewed a database of 320 consecutive patients who underwent PICC insertion between December 2014 and December 2015 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University to explore the potential associations between risk factors and PICC-associated thrombosis.
