Official title

Effects of AR Health Education Video Intervention on Anxiety and Depression in Postoperative Breast Cancer Patients

Overview

Breast cancer surgery patients may experience anxiety and depression before and after surgery. Health education can help patients understand the surgical process and postoperative care, but traditional education may not always be easy to understand. This study evaluates whether augmented reality (AR) health education videos can help reduce anxiety and depression in postoperative breast cancer patients. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives routine health education plus AR health education videos, and the other group receives routine health education only. The study compares changes in anxiety, depression, and selected physiological indicators between the two groups before and after surgery.

Detailed description

This is a randomized controlled study. Eligible breast cancer surgery patients are randomly assigned to an AR health education group or a routine health education group.

Participants in the AR health education group receive routine perioperative health education plus AR health education videos. Participants in the routine health education group receive routine perioperative health education only.

An outcome assessor who is blinded to group allocation collects questionnaire data before surgery, on postoperative day 1, and on postoperative day 2. Anxiety is measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State Anxiety Scale (STAI-S), and depression is measured using the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). Physiological indicators, including heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation, are also collected.

Interventions

  • Behavioral Augmented Reality Health Education Video
    An augmented reality (AR)-based health education video designed to provide perioperative education, postoperative recovery guidance, daily activity adjustment, and self-care information for breast cancer surgery patients.
  • Behavioral Routine Health Education
    Routine perioperative health education provided according to standard clinical nursing care procedures.

Primary outcome measures

  • State Anxiety [Time frame: Baseline, postoperative day 1, and postoperative day 2]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
  • Depression [Time frame: Baseline, postoperative day 1, and postoperative day 2]
  • Physiological Indicators [Time frame: Baseline, postoperative day 1, and postoperative day 2]
