“…Self-management competency are a key variable in improving the health status and quality of life of cancer patients [41]. Multiple regression analysis in this study also found that PICC self-management competency (β= 0.169, p < 0.001) had a signi cant effect on upper arm exercise self-e cacy in cancer patients with PICC, higher self-management ability was associated with higher upper arm exercise selfe cacy.…”

Aims and Objectives: This study investigated the level of upper arm exercise self-efficacy in cancer patients with PICC and explored factors that may influence upper arm exercise self-efficacy. Background: Exercise self-efficacy predicts exercise behavior and is related to individual exercise adherence. Upper Arm exercise is safe and effective in preventing Catheter-related complications while maintaining the ability to perform activities of daily living in cancer patients with PICC. However, there is a lack of research on upper-arm exercise self-efficacy and the factors influencing the exercise self-efficacy of cancer patients with PICC. Setting:Cross-sectional survey using a correlational design. Methods:The study included cancer patients with PICC who attended three tertiary hospitals in Guangzhou City from June to September 2023. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Upper Arm Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale for Cancer Patients with PICC , the Cancer Patients PICC Self-Management Competency Scale, the Perceived Social Support Scale, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and multiple linear regression analyses were used to evaluate the factors associated with the level of upper arm exercise self-efficacy. Results: The mean upper arm exercise self-efficacy score for cancer patients with PICC was 82.33±15.80, and the overall score was 71.16%, which is in the middle range. The main factors affecting upper arm exercise self-efficacy in cancer patients with PICC included depression (β= -0.447, p<0.001), exercise before illness (β= 0.158, p<0.001), PICC self-management competency(β= 0.169, p<0.001), perceived social support (β= 0.169, p<0.001), per capita monthly household income (β= 0.081, p = 0.002), PICC catheter retention time (β= -0.053, p=0.042), primary caregiver (β = -0.050, p = 0.024). Conclusions: The level of upper arm exercise self-efficacy in cancer patients with PICC needs to be further improved. Clinical healthcare professionals can consider the factors affecting the self-efficacy of upper arm exercise in cancer patients with PICC , formulate a targeted exercise intervention programme, and carry out follow-up visits in a planned manner to guide, supervise, and strengthen the level of self-efficacy of upper arm exercise, and ultimately to achieve the goal of health promotion. Relevance to clinical practice: This study proposes that upper arm exercise self-efficacy behaviors should be promoted in cancer patients with PICC. In response to the identified influencing factors, further upper arm exercise promotion programs are recommended to improve their exercise compliance.

Background Ovarian function suppression (OFS) treatment causes breast cancer patients’ estrogens to fall rapidly to postmenopausal levels, and the 5-year treatment duration and 28-day treatment cycles place a heavy physical and psychological symptom burden on them, which in turn directly or indirectly affects the survival benefit. Managing symptom burden early in treatment is critical, but OFS-related studies have yet to be seen. Self-management is essential for patients’ symptom burden. However, self-help management is hampered by patients’ lack of knowledge, skills, motivation, etc. Guided self-help intervention (GSH) provides a feasible approach. Empowerment theory is a promising theoretical framework to guide self-management. Methods A prospective two-arm parallel randomized controlled single-blind clinical trial will be conducted to investigate the effect of symptom burden GSH based on empowerment theory in breast cancer patients in the early stages of OFS treatment. A block randomization method is used to allocate 144 patients to either the control or intervention group. The program is conducted according to the OFS return-to-hospital treatment cycle. The intervention group will receive a total of two rounds and five sessions of empowering GSH, lasting at least 15 weeks in total; the control group will receive only usual nursing care. Symptom burden and related metrics will be assessed at baseline and 1, 3, and 6 months after OFS treatment, and changes between and within groups will be explored. This paper adhered to the SPIRIT and CONSORT guidelines. Conclusion These results will help to validate the GSH in symptom burden management for breast cancer patients in OFS treatment early stages. It enriches its symptom burden management research and may provide implications for the whole cycle of OFS treatment patients.
