“…Similar results were found in the study by Zhao et al [46]. This may indicate that patients do not have a comprehensive and thorough understanding of PICC-related thrombosis prevention knowledge, possibly due to fragmented acquisition of preventive knowledge and lack of systematic, comprehensive health education [47]. Therefore, healthcare professionals need to provide patients with more comprehensive preventive information, update relevant content in real-time based on guidelines and consensus, and develop detailed, speci c, and comprehensive PICC-related thrombosis prevention education programs in the future.…”

Purpose To explores the behavioral intention of breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy to prevent PICC-related thrombosis based on the Theory of Planned Behavior. Methods This qualitative study employed purposive sampling and conducted semi-structured interviews with 14 breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy in the outpatient chemotherapy ward of a tertiary A-level comprehensive hospital in Beijing from July to August 2023. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi's descriptive analysis framework. Results Data analysis identified 10 themes were derived from 4 aspects. Regarding behavioral attitude, three themes were condensed: (1) Considering the benefits of preventive measures, (2) Simple and easy preventive measures, (3) Underestimating the importance of PICC-related thrombosis prophylaxis. Subjective norms yielded two main themes and five sub-themes: (1) Support from those close to the patient motivates adherence to prophylaxis (Support from the patient's family, healthcare professionals, other patients), (2) Patients are influenced by personal factors to form an internal driving force (physical symptoms, Fear of PICC-related thrombosis). Regarding perceived behavioral control, three main themes and four sub-themes were extracted: (1) Obstacles before actual prevention exercise (Prevention information, Hard to remember information), (2) Forgetfulness is the main obstacle factor, (3) Wanting to overcome barriers to adhere to regular prevention (Confidence to overcome obstacles, Hope to get support). Conclusions Breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy are difficult to accurately remember the prevention knowledge and prone to forgetfulness in the prevention of PICC-related thrombosis, which leads to the poor overall prevention compliance and suboptimal preventive effects. Interventions to address the preventive compliance problems of patient should be developed in three areas: the patients themselves, the supporters around the patient and the healthcare professionals.

“…Moreover, the age-specific information needs of younger breast cancer survivors is still far from satisfactory [ 95 ]. Therefore, tailored information is recommended to help subgroups of breast cancer patients cope with cancer and improve satisfaction levels [ 96 ].…”

Background Breast cancer has become one of the most frequently diagnosed carcinomas and the leading cause of cancer deaths. The substantial growth in the number of breast cancer patients has put great pressure on health services. Meanwhile, the information patients need has increased and become more complicated. Therefore, a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of their information needs is urgently needed to improve the quality of health care. However, previous studies related to the information needs of breast cancer patients have focused on different perspectives and have only contributed to individual results. A systematic review and synthesis of breast cancer patients’ information needs is critical. Objective This paper aims to systematically identify, evaluate, and synthesize existing primary qualitative research on the information needs of breast cancer patients. Methods Web of Science, EBSCO, Scopus, ProQuest, PubMed, PsycINFO, The Cochrane Library, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature were searched on February 12 and July 9, 2019, to collect relevant studies. A Google Scholar search, interpersonal network recommendations, and reference chaining were also conducted. Eligible studies included qualitative or mixed-methods studies focusing on the information needs (across the cancer continuum) of breast cancer patients or their social networks. Subsequently, a Critical Appraisals Skills Programme checklist was used to assess the quality of included research. The results, findings, and discussions were extracted. Data analysis was guided by the theory-generating meta-synthesis and grounded theory approach. Results Three themes, 19 categories, and 55 concepts emerged: (1) incentives (physical abnormality, inquiry from others, subjective norm, and problems during appointments); (2) types of information needs (prevention, etiology, diagnosis, clinical manifestation, treatment, prognosis, impact and resumption of normal life, scientific research, and social assistance); (3) moderating variables (attitudes, health literacy, demographic characteristics, disease status, as well as political and cultural environment). The studies revealed that the information needs of breast cancer patients were triggered by different incentives. Subsequently, the patients sought a variety of information among different stages of the cancer journey. Five types of variables were also found to moderate the formation of information needs. Conclusions This study contributes to a thorough model of information needs among breast cancer patients and provides practical suggestions for health and information professionals.
