Abstract:
Objective:To explore application value of dance movement therapy in the chemotherapy of young and middle-aged patients with breast cancer, so as to provide reference for rehabilitation nursing.Methods:By convenient sampling method, 90 young and middle-aged female breast cancer patients during chemotherapy from June 2020 to June 2021 in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were enrolled in the present study. They were assiged to experimental group and control group with 45 cases in each group according to the enrolled ward. The control group received routine nursing and the experimental group received 4 cycles of dance movement therapy. Before and after intervention, the effects were assessed by Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFS) and Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) as well as biochemical nutrition indexes.Results:After intervention, the physical fatigue score, emotional fatigue score, cognitive fatigue score and total CFS score were (8.29 ± 3.58), (7.74 ± 1.68), (5.57 ± 1.11), (21.59 ± 4.41) points in the experimental group, which were significantly lower than (9.86 ± 3.49), (8.95 ± 2.62), (6.27 ± 1.70), (25.09 ± 4.33) points in the control group ( t values were 2.07-3.71, all P<0.05). After intervention, the PG-SGA score was (2.81 ± 0.71) points in the experimental group, which was significantly lower than (3.29 ± 1.15) points in the control group ( t=2.37, P<0.05). Conclusions:Dance movement therapy can alleviate the cancer related fatigue and promote nutritional status of young and middle-aged female breast cancer patients with chemotherapy.
