Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research aims to develop a combined support group program for children with breast cancer using a face - to - face support group and a support group using the Internet. In order to develop a combined support group program, we studied the concerns of breast cancer patients as a mother. We also clarified what information breast cancer patient has from the Internet and the advantages and difficulties associated with using the information from the Internet. Based on these results, we developed a homepage for implementing the combined support group program “Smiling Mommy”, community site for breast cancer patients with children .
