Methods: This randomized controlled study was conducted between April and August 2021 in the surgical oncology clinic-outpatient clinics of a university hospital. Patients in the intervention group (n=42) used the mobile information application for one month with routine care. Patients in the control group (n=40) received their routine care. Data were collected with data collection forms one week before and three weeks after surgery.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention Group
The mobile information application was downloaded from the Android market and installed on the patients' phones, and the patients were taught about how to use it. The patients were given a short information brochure on the use of the mobile application. One week after the surgery, the patients were called and reminded about the use of the application. Three weeks after the surgery, data were collected through telephone interviews using the Patient Follow-up Form, Anxiety, Distress and Quality of Life measurement tools, the Patient Information Satisfaction Questionnaire, and the Mobile Application Evaluation Form.
Using mobile information application about before and after surgery
The mobile application had three sections: Information forum (I), Personal forum (notebook and reminder) (II) and Ask the Researcher (messaging) (III). The information forum (Figure 2) is a section that enables patients to access related articles, pictures, and videos. The personal forum is a section that allows patients to create their notes and use the necessary reminders. Ask the researcher section allows patients to communicate with the researcher via messages.
The participants could download the mobile application with the name "Breast Cancer Surgery Information Guide" from the Google Play Store and install it on their phones. Users who were authenticated by the researcher were able to access the content with an e-mail and password.
Control Group
The patients received routine care and training in the clinic, and no additional intervention was applied. Three weeks after the surgery, data were collected through telephone interviews using the Patient Follow-up Form, Anxiety, Distress and Quality of Life measurement tools, and the Patient Information Satisfaction Questionnaire
