An interventional study of Augmented Reality Health Education Video and Routine Health Education in Breast Cancer, Anxiety and Depression, sponsored by Tungs' Taichung Metroharbour Hospital. Recruiting at 1 site in Taiwan. Open to female participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-05-22.

Breast cancer surgery patients may experience anxiety and depression before and after surgery. Health education can help patients understand the surgical process and postoperative care, but traditional education may not always be easy to understand.
This study evaluates whether augmented reality (AR) health education videos can help reduce anxiety and depression in postoperative breast cancer patients. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives routine health education plus AR health education videos, and the other group receives routine health education only.
The study compares changes in anxiety, depression, and selected physiological indicators between the two groups before and after surgery.
This is a randomized controlled study. Eligible breast cancer surgery patients are randomly assigned to an AR health education group or a routine health education group.
Participants in the AR health education group receive routine perioperative health education plus AR health education videos. Participants in the routine health education group receive routine perioperative health education only.
An outcome assessor who is blinded to group allocation collects questionnaire data before surgery, on postoperative day 1, and on postoperative day 2. Anxiety is measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State Anxiety Scale (STAI-S), and depression is measured using the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). Physiological indicators, including heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation, are also collected.
14,825 studies on the registry are indexed under Breast Neoplasms; 3,319 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 60 is below the median of 72 across 10,896 interventional studies indexed under Breast Neoplasms.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Cancer deposits in the brain from a cancer that started elsewhere in the body (CNS metastases include the spinal cord).
Studies differ: some leave out any brain metastases, some accept ones treated and stable for some weeks. Check what this study allows.

Participants receive routine perioperative health education in addition to augmented reality (AR) health education videos related to breast cancer surgery and postoperative care.
Behavioral: Augmented Reality Health Education Video
Routine perioperative health education provided according to standard clinical nursing care procedures.
Behavioral: Routine Health Education
An augmented reality (AR)-based health education video designed to provide perioperative education, postoperative recovery guidance, daily activity adjustment, and self-care information for breast cancer surgery patients.
Routine perioperative health education provided according to standard clinical nursing care procedures.
State Anxiety
State anxiety is measured using the Chinese version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State Anxiety Scale (STAI-S). The STAI-S includes 20 items rated on a 4-point Likert scale, with total scores ranging from 20 to 80. Higher scores indicate higher levels of state anxiety. Scores of 20 to 39 indicate mild anxiety, 40 to 59 indicate moderate anxiety, and 60 to 80 indicate severe anxiety.
Time frame: Baseline, postoperative day 1, and postoperative day 2
Depression
Depression is measured using the Chinese version of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). The BDI-II includes 21 items rated from 0 to 3, with total scores ranging from 0 to 63. Higher scores indicate more severe depressive symptoms. Scores of 0 to 16 indicate normal range, 17 to 22 indicate mild depression, 23 to 30 indicate moderate depression, and 31 to 63 indicate severe depression.
Time frame: Baseline, postoperative day 1, and postoperative day 2
Physiological Indicators
Physiological indicators include heart rate, respiratory rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and peripheral oxygen saturation. These indicators are collected to assess physiological responses related to anxiety during the perioperative period.
Time frame: Baseline, postoperative day 1, and postoperative day 2
