First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a nurse-led coaching program can help women who had breast reconstruction after breast cancer. 58 women took part; half got coaching sessions over 12 weeks, and half got standard care. The goal was to see if coaching improved their ability to care for themselves and their overall quality of life.
