Background: Breast cancer patients who undergo mastectomy encounter numerous problems, the most annoying of which is lymphedema followed by pain and decreased function in the affected limb. Objectives: This study examined the effect of self-care training on upper limb function and pain after breast surgery. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was performed on two groups of 60 patients with breast cancer in the Oncology Ward of Zahedan University of Medical Sciences in 2021. The patients were selected based on the inclusion criteria and through convenience sampling and were then randomly divided into intervention and control groups. The patients in the intervention group attended self-care training and exercise programs implemented in five sessions in addition to the routine care. One and three months after the intervention, upper limb function and pain were measured with DASH and McGill pain questionnaires. The repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Bonferroni test were used to compare the pre-, and post-intervention mean scores and mean differences in the two groups. Results: The mean scores of upper limb function one and three months after the training program in the intervention group were lower than the mean scores of the control group. In other words, the quality of upper limb function was not significantly different despite the changes in the first month, but upper limb function significantly improved three months after the intervention (P < 0.001 vs. P = 0.06). The mean pain scores before, one month, and three months after the intervention in the intervention group were 10.4, 35.7, and 6.26, respectively, and the corresponding values in the control group were 10.8, 41.7, and 21.1, respectively, showing significant differences between the two groups, with the intervention group having lower pain scores than the control group (P = 0.001). Conclusions: Since lymphedema and its consequences, including decreased upper limb function and pain, are very serious issues, medical staff can give priority to this training program and implement it to prevent and control these complications.

Object: Explore the application and actual effect of MET (Muscle Energy) technology after breast cancer surgery with upper limb dysfunction. Methods: Taking 40 female breast cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from September 2017 to June 2019 as the research objects, all of them successfully completed modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer. According to different nursing methods, the patients were randomly divided into two groups. The experiment There were 20 cases in each group and the control group. The control group was given routine functional recovery exercise intervention after the operation, and the experimental group added MET technology to the base of the control group. One month after the operation, the functional recovery of the affected limbs of the two groups of patients was effectively assessed. The upper limb dysfunction of the two groups was compared by statistical methods, and the shoulder joint range of motion (ROM) was used for performance. Results: Through early functional recovery training and MET technology, 19 cases of ROM in the experimental group showed compliance (95%), compared with only 14 cases (70%) in the control group. The difference in upper limb dysfunction between the two groups is very obvious with statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusions: Early functional recovery training combined with muscle energy technology can promote the recovery of upper limb dysfunction after breast cancer surgery faster and better, which is conducive to the recovery of patients as soon as possible and improve the quality of life.
