Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To verify and compare the adherence, satisfaction and experience of women in a telemonitoring program in physical therapy after breast cancer. Method: Quali-quantitative study with 10 participants, randomly allocated to synchronous and asynchronous telemonitoring groups. Adherence was assessed by the frequency of exercise performance. Satisfaction, by two questions with a grade from 0 to 10, and experience, by means of open questions. Quantitative data were analyzed using the SPSS software and the interpretation of qualitative data through thematic analysis described by Braun and Clarke. Results: The adherence of the synchronous and asynchronous groups was 95.5% and 93.3%, respectively. The satisfaction of the synchronous group had an average of 9.8 and the asynchronous group, an average of 9.9. The experience of both groups was positively reported. Conclusion: According to this pilot study, post-breast cancer women showed a high rate of adherence, a high degree of satisfaction and reports of positive experiences in a physical therapy telemonitoring program, both synchronous and asynchronous. Telemonitoring was a well-accepted modality among post-breast cancer treatment patients and can be performed not only during the Covid-19 pandemic, but as a viable alternative for rehabilitation.
