Abstract

Breast cancer is a condition in which cells have lost normal control and function, resulting in abnormal, fast, and uncontrolled growth. These cells divide faster than normal cells and accumulate, which then form lumps or masses. One of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer is pain. Breast cancer pain management can be done with deep breathing therapy. Deep breathing therapy is breathing on the abdomen with a slow and slow frequency, rhythmic, and comfortable by closing the eyes when inhaling. Collecting data by interviewing and observing the procedure before and after deep breathing therapy, which was carried out 3 times a day for 3 days from April 27 to April 29, 2022. The results of the first day of pain scale 4 became pain scale 2, the second day pain scale 4 becomes pain scale 1, the third day pain scale 3 becomes pain scale 1. The average results of pain scale for 3 days are before deep breathing therapy is 1.3 and after deep breathing therapy is 1.3. Deep breathing therapy can help pharmacological therapy in reducing pain scale in breast cancer patients.  It can be used as an alternative to reduce pain with deep breathing therapy for self-medication to help reduce pain in breast cancer patients.
