Abstract

Background: As the second leading cause of death in women in the world, breast cancer has several physical and psychological effects. Nowadays, nonclinical approaches such as patient empowerment have been considered by physicians along with clinical care. Given the increasing number of breast cancer women worldwide, promoting the empowerment of these patients is one of the key factors affecting their survival and quality of life. Therefore, because of no comprehensive research on the empowerment needs and related improvement strategies, this study is aimed at determining the empowerment status of breast cancer patients referred to the Shahid Motahari Breast Cancer Clinic in Iran, Shiraz, and at providing strategies to improve their empowerment in 2021.

Methods: This applied study was conducted in two phases. In the quantitative phase, 310 Cancer-Related Patient Empowerment Scale questionnaires (Persian format) were distributed among the studied patients selected through the random sampling method in the clinic, and the items with "unacceptable status" became the basis for determining the empowerment strategies through the scoping review and semistructured interviews with 22 medical staff and patients through the thematic analysis. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 20.0 and MAXQDA10 software.

Results: The mean score of the participants' empowerment strategies was 3.58. The results showed that trust in the physician, family support, and spiritual beliefs could affect the empowerment of the studied patients. Moreover, the participants needed empowerment strategies in 11 scale items with unacceptable status, for which 46 strategies were determined in the scoping review and interview phase.

Conclusion: The results of this study provided useful strategies for empowering breast cancer patients, the most important of which were classified into five categories of financial support, informational support, interaction with the physician, occupational support, and complementary therapies, the use of which by the stakeholders could help to improve the patients' quality of life while improving their empowerment.

促进乳腺癌妇女赋权地位的战略。
背景:乳腺癌是全球女性的第二大死因,它对女性的生理和心理都会造成影响。如今,医生在提供临床治疗的同时,也考虑采用非临床方法,如增强患者能力。鉴于全球乳腺癌妇女人数不断增加,促进这些患者的赋权是影响其生存和生活质量的关键因素之一。因此,由于没有关于赋权需求和相关改进策略的全面研究,本研究旨在确定转诊至伊朗设拉子市 Shahid Motahari 乳腺癌诊所的乳腺癌患者的赋权状况,并提供在 2021 年提高其赋权的策略:这项应用研究分两个阶段进行。在定量研究阶段,通过随机抽样方法在诊所中挑选出的患者中发放了 310 份《癌症相关患者赋权量表》(波斯语格式)问卷,并通过范围审查和对 22 名医务人员和患者进行的半结构式访谈(主题分析),将 "不可接受的状况 "项目作为确定赋权策略的基础。收集到的数据使用 SPSS 20.0 和 MAXQDA10 软件进行分析:参与者赋权策略的平均得分为 3.58 分。结果表明,对医生的信任、家庭支持和精神信仰会影响所研究患者的赋权。此外,在 11 个不可接受的量表项目中,参与者需要赋权策略,在范围审查和访谈阶段确定了 46 种策略:本研究的结果为增强乳腺癌患者的能力提供了有用的策略,其中最重要的策略分为经济支持、信息支持、与医生互动、职业支持和辅助疗法五类,利益相关者使用这些策略有助于提高患者的生活质量,同时增强他们的能力。
