Evaluation of the clinical effect of a multimodal pre-rehabilitation program guided by the behaviour change wheel in elderly women with breast cancer.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: This study aims to explore the nursing effect of a multimodal pre-rehabilitation programme guided by BCW theory on elderly women patients with breast cancer. METHODS: The participants were divided into two groups. The study group was administered with the pre-rehabilitation model guided by BCW theory; the control group was administered with conventional methods. The rehabilitation effects of the two groups were compared.. RESULTS: The scores of RISC, PTGI and FACT-B were higher in the study group(P < 0.05). The SUPPH score and ROM compliance rate were higher in the study group (P < 0.05) (96% vs 72%). The avoidance score and yield score were lower in the study group(P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: A multimodal pre-rehabilitation program guided by BCW theory can significantly improve the quality of life and functional status of elderly women patients with breast cancer, and its popularisation and application are recommended.
