Abstract | Objective: Evaluate patient adherence and satisfaction concerning postmastectomy compressive taping. Methods: This comprises a preintervention and postintervention study carried out with women ≥18 years old who underwent taping during the first 7 postoperative days at the Cancer Hospital III/National Cancer Institute. Good adherence was considered as taping maintenance for 7 days. Satisfaction levels were classified as satisfied and dissatisfied. Results: A total of 124 women with a mean age of 56.54 (±11.24) were included in the study. Most lived without a partner (58.1%), had more than 8 years of study (59.7%), referred to themselves as white (68.5%) and considered their health status to be good or very good (69.4%). Regarding treatment adherence, 90.3% patients displayed adherence. Patients with no bullous lesions were more likely to adhere to taping (OR 7.00; 95% CI 1.98 to 24.74; p=0.003). Regarding satisfaction, 78.2% of the patients felt satisfied. The absence of local discomfort (OR 4.51; 95% CI 1.73 to 11.74; p=0.002) and non-existence of self-reported oedema (OR 5.81; 95% CI 1.81 to 18, 66; p=0.003) were associated with greater patient satisfaction. Conclusion: Patients exhibited good adherence and felt very satisfied with the use of postmastectomy compressive taping. Trial registration number: NCT04471142. |
