Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Health literacy is the ability to access, understand, evaluate and communication information as a way to promote and maintain health. Therefore, good health literacy raise the quality of life of breast cancer survivors by a good competence in searching and using medical resources. Moreover, how to improve health literacy after cancer surgery becomes an important part recently. Even if the most fundamental concept has promoted for decades, the clinical workers still use the identical education of medical care after surgery for breast cancer survivors. However, the identical education is not appropriate for each of patients. In fact, each of breast cancer survivors has the different cancer stage leading to accept different therapy and producing different side effect. Besides, the background and the role of life are very different from each other. Because of the above reasons, the aim of the study is going to develop a tailored rehabilitated education, which fit for each breast cancer patients after surgery in clinic. At the same time, the health literacy ability might be improved by tailored rehabilitated education. When health literacy level is raised, the breast cancer survivors have a good quality of life and beautiful health status.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
To ensure consistent intervention, two certified occupational therapists were trained by two primary investigators to administer the intervention and control group protocols independently. The two trained occupational therapists recorded outcome measurements at the baseline and immediately after the intervention. The evaluators were blinded to group allocation, and participants were blinded to the study hypotheses.

tailored education
Tailored rehabilitated education is which fit for each breast cancer patients after surgery in clinic. We design three of tailored books for experimental group. Each patients will be tailored by three principles. First, the educated times and hours are depended on patients physical function and learning ability. Second, the material is depended on each patient's life experience. Finally, the educated content is depended on patient's operation method.
