Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Breast cancer is a health problem with increasing prevalence, along with more effective therapeutic responses and less mutilating surgeries. The process of caring for patients crosses different levels: the diagnostic phase, which is mostly outpatient, the surgical treatment phase, which is mostly short-term inpatient, and the medical treatment phase in a day hospital. An integrated and structured care model based on specialized nursing skills can help improve self-care, quality of life and well-being.

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Recovering mobility in the homolateral upper limb
- timeFrame
- Every 3 weeks until the end of chemotherapy treatment. The result of the evaluation is translated into: Kgf (Muscle strength); Degrees (goniometry). Time Points: T0-first evaluation appointment (chemotherapy); T1 at Tx-evaluation every 3 weeks
- description
- The measures used are functional assessment of the upper limb with the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH-PT) scale: 30-item self-reported questionnaire in which the response options are presented as 5-point Likert scales. Scores range from 0 (no disability) to 100 (most severe disability). Assessment of muscle strength with dynamometry and assessment of amplitude by goniometry.
