Purpose: This study was to identify behaviors preventing the recurrence of breast cancer and the level of quality of life.
Methods: This descriptive study was conducted using a structured questionnaire from November 1, 2006 to December 25,2006 . One hundred and twenty two women breast cancer survivors were recruited by convenience sampling.
Results: The most frequent behavior for preventing recurrence of the breast cancer was dietary treatment (90.9%) and exercise(86.8%) was the second behavior. In addition, most of them perceived these behaviors as ‘very effective’ (82.8%). The degree of the quality of life of a breast cancer survivor was 5.34 point indicating a ‘medium level’.
Conclusion: Breast cancer survivors pursued various behaviors for preventing recurrence of breast cancer. Therefore, the nursing interventions should be focused on a systematic educational approach considering healthy behaviors to prevent breast cancer recurrence for breast cancer survivors.
