AR Health Education Video for Postoperative Breast Cancer Patients

Summary

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.
