Brief Summary  

The ultimate aim of the study is to explore the impact of symptoms on quality of life of patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy and develop a e-pamphlet and to find out its effect on symptoms alleviation and quality of life. Structured Interview Schedule on demographic variables, EORTC QLQ-C30 (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Standardized tool on Quality of life of Cancer patient) and EORTC QLQ BR 45 (Breast Cancer module is a supplementary questionnaire with QLQ-30) will be used to assess quality of patient receiving chemotherapy.

It will be randomized control trial. Total sample size 126. In phase I, 12 sample will be taken to find out symptoms and based on result e-pamphlet will be develop. Control arm will receive normal health education and a booklet on “Managing Chemotherapy side effects” and experimental group will receive both health education, booklet and e-pamphlet on 1st cycle of chemotherapy. But experimental group will be reinforced to check e-pamphlet on 2nd and 5th cycle of chemotherapy.

Base line data will be collected on 1st cycle and then 4th and last data will be collected after 7th cycle.

So by this study we will be able to find out 1. Symptoms experienced by breast cancer patient during chemotherapy, 2. Effect of symptoms on quality of life (QoL), 3. E-pamphlet will have any effect on  health symptoms and QoL or not and 4. there is any association between selected demographic criteria and symptoms and QoL.
