초록

The purpose of this study is to develop a cancer rehabilitation program for cancer survivors in the form of a smartphone application and to confirm the effectiveness through Pilot study. The contents of the application consisted of health records, lab-test records, and health information, and the information recorded by the patient was graphically checked for changes over time on my page. 7 subjects who ended acute treatment and were undergoing follow-up were asked to use the application for 4 weeks, and then changes in variables (uncertainty, e-health literacy, self-efficacy, and cancer rehabilitation) were confirmed. It was confirmed that e-health literacy and self-efficiency increased significantly over time after using the application. In addition, the level of cancer rehabilitation was found to increase significantly over time. The application for cancer rehabilitation developed in this study needs to be expanded to improve the quality of life of cancer survivors.
