“…Our results are similar to those reported by Fehlauer et al [28], who performed a 12-year follow-up of breast cancer survivors and reported that their global health status was high. Compared with a study by Huang et al [29], in which breast cancer patients who had received their diagnosis at least 9 months prior and received surgical treatment had a global health status of 56.3, the breast cancer survivors in the present study with an illness duration of >2 years had a higher global health status. In the symptom dimension, fatigue and insomnia were the more serious symptoms experienced by the breast cancer survivors in the present study.…”

BackgroundBreast and cervical cancer are the most common cancers affecting women. The symptom distresses experienced by cancer survivors are critical factors influencing their quality of life (QOL). This study investigated the QOL of breast and cervical cancer survivors, their physical, psychological and social conditions.MethodsThe participants were older than 20 years, had been diagnosed with breast or cervical cancer for more than 2 years, and had completed their cancer treatment. The survey incorporated the QOL questionnaires developed by the European Organization of Research and Treatment for Cancer and a self-designed questionnaire.ResultsThe mean age at diagnosis was 48.89 ± 8.53 years for the breast cancer survivors and 49.00 ± 10.30 years for the cervical cancer survivors. The corresponding QOL scores were 75.33 ± 20.25 and 75.56 ± 17.93. The factors influencing QOL of breast cancer survivors were household income, number of comorbidities, stage of cancer, type of cancer treatment and duration of illness, whereas the factor related to QOL of cervical cancer survivors was only household income.ConclusionsThe QOL of the two groups was similar. Healthcare providers should demonstrate greater concern toward breast and cervical cancer survivors.

“…[6][7][8] Chemotherapy may thus have the greatest effect on patients' quality of life and disrupt their physical, psychological, social and spiritual well-being. 9 Finding a way to reduce the severity of these complications is very important. Self-care is one of the key ways for reducing these problems.…”

Introduction:Breast cancer has a high prevalence, constituting a major cause of mortality in women around the world. Health literacy has a vital role in the self-care of chronic diseases such as cancer and is an essential element in the ability of each person to engage with health promotion. The aim of this study was to determine effect of health literacy counselling on selfcare in women after mastectomy. Methods: This study is a randomized, controlled, clinical trial carried out on 72 women with breast cancer after mastectomy in Fars province. The eligible women entered the study using convenience sampling and were then divided into an intervention and a control group through randomized blocks of four. Health literacy questionnaire and self-care questionnaire were distributed among the participants before, immediately after and three weeks following the intervention. Data analysis was performed in SPSS ver.13. Results:The results showed no significant differences between the two groups in terms of their health literacy and self-care scores before the intervention (P=0.299 and 0.059). A comparison of the mean values showed a greater increase in the mean score of health literacy and score of selfcare immediately and three weeks after the intervention in the intervention group compared to the control group. Also, the mean score of the dimensions of self-care in chemotherapy increased over time in the intervention group. Conclusion:The findings of this study confirm the higher effectiveness of counseling with a health literacy approach on overall self-care in chemotherapy and all its dimensions.Citation: Rastegar M, Mahmoodi Z, Esmaelzadeh S, Sharifi N, Kabir K.
