The physiotherapy service at the Cancer Hospital III of the National Cancer Institute (HCIII/INCA) has included telehealth in its care activities for monitoring patients undergoing surgical treatment for breast cancer during the pandemic. Objective: To evaluate the perception of patients about telehealth at HCIII/INCA, in addition to understanding and adherence to home physiotherapeutic guidelines in the postoperative breast cancer period. Method: Observational, qualitative and quantitative approach study, which included patients who received surgical treatment for breast cancer from March to May 2020 and attended physiotherapy telehealth. A semi-structured questionnaire with an open question about telehealth was utilized. Results: 129 women were included, 81.4% reported comfort with telehealth, 72.1% felt very safe and 71.3% felt satisfied with this type of service. Regarding physiotherapeutic guidelines provided, 89.1% of the patients claimed they understood the content, 66.7% followed them completely and 63.6% performed daily upper limb exercises. In relation to the quality, the patients reported that telehealth was necessary, valid and important to avoid exposure to the virus during the pandemic, in addition to being cost-effective, time-saving and avoiding trips to the institution. Conclusion: The modality of telehealth as evaluated by physiotherapy after breast cancer surgery generated a feeling of security, comfort and satisfaction, with good understanding and adherence to the guidelines and practice of home exercises.
