How is the BREAST-Q REACT Tool treatment different from other treatments for breast surgery?
The BREAST-Q REACT Tool is unique because it focuses on collecting patient-reported outcomes (PROs) to enhance patient-centered care in breast surgery. Unlike traditional treatments, it emphasizes real-time engagement and communication to improve satisfaction and quality of life for patients undergoing breast surgery.14678
How is the BREAST-Q REACT Tool treatment different from other treatments for breast surgery?
The BREAST-Q REACT Tool is unique because it focuses on collecting patient-reported outcomes (PROs) to enhance patient-centered care in breast surgery, unlike traditional treatments that may not prioritize real-time patient feedback. This tool helps measure patient satisfaction and quality of life, providing valuable insights for personalized treatment decisions.14678
What is the purpose of this trial?
The researchers are doing this study to find out whether it is practical (feasible) to conduct a larger study looking at the effects of the BREAST-Q Real-time Engagement and Communication Tool (REACT) on people's quality of life, interactions with their doctors, and medical interventions after undergoing routine breast conserving surgery or mastectomy. The BREAST-Q REACT tool shows scores from standard questionnaires completed before and after breast surgery about overall physical wellbeing, arm pain or tightness, the ability to move the arms and perform everyday tasks, and any symptoms related to the arms, and provides feedback including recommendations and detailed information that help explain these scores and guide topics for people and their doctor to discuss.
