Objective:To summarize the relevant evidence of exercise intervention for patients with multiple myeloma at home and abroad, and provide evidence-based basis for medical staff to formulate exercise intervention programs.Methods:Through the method of evidence-based nursing, the literatures related to exercise intervention for patients with multiple myeloma were systematically retrieved from relevant guideline websites, professional association websites and databases at home and abroad, including best practices, recommended practices, guidelines, expert consensus, evidence summary, systematic reviews and so on. The search time limit was established until April 16, 2024. Two researchers evaluated the quality of the literature and extracted the data. JBI pre-classification of evidence and level of Recommendation system (2014 version) was used to determine the level of evidence items and recommendation level.Results:A total of 15 articles were included, including 1 clinical decision, 4 guidelines, 8 systematic reviews, 1 expert consensus and 1 evidence summary. A total of 26 pieces of evidence were summarized, including 5 aspects, including applicable population, exercise evaluation, exercise plan, exercise precautions and exercise management.Conclusions:The best evidence summarized in this study provides a basis for the development and management of exercise intervention in patients with multiple myeloma. It is suggested that clinical staff should fully consider the clinical context when applying the evidence, and develop personalized exercise intervention programs based on the patient′s status and preferences.

Objective:To further explore the symptom experience and coping strategies of patients with multiple myeloma, so as to provide reference for the formulation of symptom management programs.Methods:Objective sampling method was used to conduct semi-structured in-depth interviews on 15 patients with multiple myeloma in Hematology Department of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from December 2021 to June 2022 and the model of symptom management theory was used as the framework to construct an interview outline. The Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used to analyze data and extract themes.Results:Three main themes were summarized: symptom experience (obvious symptom perception, poor symptom assessment ability, negative symptom response); symptom management strategy (vague knowledge of symptom management, hope to get professional guidance, expect to get continuity of management); symptom management outcomes (recurrent anxiety, reordering, adaptive behavior).Conclusions:Patients with multiple myeloma have diverse and complex real symptom experience in different periods. Medical staff should pay attention to patients′ symptom response and coping needs and develop a systematic symptom management plan, so as to help them create better self-management and improve their quality of life.
