This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile psychoeducational intervention on improving the symptom management and quality of life of patients with breast cancer. The participants were equally divided into control and intervention groups; those in the intervention group participated in a 12-week mobile psychoeducational intervention, which comprised education sessions, peer support groups, and recording a health diary. The outcome variables were symptom management and quality of life. Data were collected at baseline, after intervention, and three months after intervention, and compared using repeated ANOVA measurement. The basic characteristics were similar between the two groups. Participants in the intervention group exhibited significant improvements in symptom management (p = .028) and quality of life (p = .015) compared to control group. The mobile psychoeducational intervention is effective in reducing symptoms and improving the self-management and quality of life of patients with breast cancer who have completed primary treatment. Our findings provide evidence for the importance of psychoeducation interventions using mobille in improving the quality of life of patients with breast cancer and can be used in clinical settings or as a basis for future research.
