Abstract
Background: Women with breast cancer (BC) experience symptoms related to fatigue, sleep quality, and quality of life (QOL) in the post- treatment period. Oncology nurses need to plan interventions such as physical activity (PA) aimed at reducing the symptoms experienced by patients.
Objectives: The aim of this article is to determine the efficacy of a home-based, unsupervised PA program on fatigue, sleep quality, and QOL in survivors of BC.
Methods: This study was an experimental study with a prospective control group. Female survivors of BC were randomly assigned to either the home-based, unsupervised PA intervention group or the control group for 12 weeks. Fatigue, sleep quality, and QOL were assessed with questionnaires at baseline and the 12th week.
Findings: The home-based, unsupervised PA program yielded positive effects on fatigue and QOL among participants. The program did not affect sleep quality.
背景:患有乳腺癌(BC)的妇女在治疗后会出现与疲劳、睡眠质量和生活质量(QOL)相关的症状。肿瘤科护士需要计划干预措施,如旨在减轻患者症状的体育活动(PA):本文旨在确定一项基于家庭、无人监督的体力活动计划对 BC 幸存者的疲劳、睡眠质量和生活质量的影响:本研究是一项前瞻性对照组实验研究。女性 BC 幸存者被随机分配到基于家庭、无监督的 PA 干预组或对照组,为期 12 周。在基线和第12周时,通过问卷对疲劳、睡眠质量和QOL进行评估:研究结果:基于家庭、无人监督的 PA 计划对参与者的疲劳和 QOL 产生了积极影响。该计划对睡眠质量没有影响。
