| Abstract | ||
| Understand the women with cancer about knowledge and practices regarding their nutrition are very important to maintain healthy body weight and eat nutritious foods. Hence, the study was aimed to evaluate the effect of instructional guidelines on women's awareness regarding nutrition after breast cancer surgery. Subjects and method: Design: A quasi-experimental research design was used with a pre-and post-test. Setting: the research was conducted at the inpatient and outpatient clinic of Fayoum Oncology Center. Subjects: A purposive sample of 130 women was included. Three tools were used: Tool (I) women' structured interviewing questionnaire, it included two parts: (a) demographic characteristics; (b) women' medical data, Tool (II) women' knowledge regarding nutrition sheet, and Tool (III) women' practice regarding nutrition sheet (pre/post). Results: More than half of women were having a family history of cancer. The majority of women reported that the main source of information regarding nutritional knowledge after breast cancer surgery was doctors. There was a positive correlation (P=0.005) between women's knowledge scores and their practice post-one-month nutritional instructional guidelines implementation. There were marked improvements in women's knowledge and practices regarding nutrition after breast cancer surgery post instructional guidelines implementation (P=0.005). Conclusion: The instructional guidelines implementation regarding nutrition had a positive effect on improving women's knowledge and practices after breast cancer surgery. Recommendations: The instructional guidelines should be conducted regularly for women after breast cancer surgery to discuss and teach them different aspects about nutrition and replication of the current study with a larger sample | ||
