Summary

Breast cancer is the leading cancer affecting women in Singapore. Breast cancer survivors commonly experience declined physical function and quality of life, due to their upper limb morbidity and wound issues post-surgery. Rehabilitation therapy can address the aforementioned issues that the survivors may experience during their recovery. No therapy however, can be effective if patients do not utilize them. Home-based telehealth (e.g., tele-rehabilitation) self-managed by patients and guided by healthcare professionals can potentially improve the service use and recovery. This study aims to understand the lived experience of post-mastectomy tele-rehabilitation and recovery process among female patients who undergo a unilateral mastectomy for breast cancer.
