Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation exercise on anxiety and quality of life in patients with first diagnosed lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy.Methods:A total of 78 patients who received chemotherapy for first diagnosed lung cancer admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from May 2018 to May 2020 were selected as research objects by the convenient sampling method. 39 patients admitted from May 2018 to May 2019 were set as control group and 39 patients admitted from June 2019 to May 2020 were set as the intervention group. The control group was given lung cancer nursing routine, while the intervention group was given 16-week lung rehabilitation exercise intervention on the basis of the control group. Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and European Organization for Research and Treatment (EORTC-QLQ-C30) were used to compare the scores of anxiety and quality of life between the two groups before intervention and 16 weeks after intervention.Results:Before intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in anxiety score and quality of life score between the two groups ( P>0.05) . After intervention, consistent results were obtained through intention to treat (ITT) analysis and per-protocol (PP) analysis. The anxiety score of the intervention group was lower than that of the control group, the role function, emotional function, social function and general health status of the quality of life scores were higher than that of the control group and the scores of fatigue, shortness of breath and loss of appetite were lower than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Pulmonary rehabilitation exercise can improve anxiety and quality of life in patients with first-diagnosed lung cancer treated with chemotherapy, but its long-term effects still need further follow-up evaluation.
