Abstract: (589 Views)
Background & Aim: Breast cancer is a chronic and debilitating disease, the diagnosis and treatment of which are associated with many psychological problems and reduce treatment adherence. If these patients do not adhere to the treatment plans, they will suffer serious consequences, such as the recurrence of the disease and the development of disability. This research aimed to determine the effect of reminder text messages on treatment adherence in breast cancer patients.
Materials & Methods: This study is a semi-experimental two-group of pre and post-test clinical trials, in which 80 people were selected by simple random sampling from patients referring to Shahid Ghazi Tabatabai Hospital. The patients completed the demographic and Medanlo Adherence Questionnaire before and immediately after the intervention. In order to prevent patients from becoming dependent and causing emotional shocks due to the interruption of sending text messages, the sending of text messages was gradually reduced and then stopped in such a way that in the first three weeks, two messages were sent daily at nine in the morning and at night, and in the second three weeks, two messages were sent every week, and one message was sent weekly. Then, the data were analyzed using a paired t-test, an independent t-test, Fisher's exact test, and chi-square using SPSS software version 20.
Results: The results showed that the mean score of treatment adherence was 155.20±12.73 in the control group before the intervention, and it was 154.50±12.36 after the intervention, which was not statistically significantly different (p >0.05). However, in the intervention group, the treatment adherence score was 155.15±13.59 before and 165.50±10.34 after the intervention, which were statistically significantly different (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The results showed that sending short messages to remind patients positively affected all aspects of treatment adherence; it seems that the provision of these services should be included in the treatment process of cancer patients due to their attractiveness, availability, and low cost.
