Abstract:
Objective:To explore the application effect of aerobic exercise supported by mobile phone pedometer in patients with gynecological tumor undergoing chemotherapy.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 135 patients who were hospitalized in Department of Gynecology in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from February 2018 to July 2019 were selected as research objects. According to the random number table, they were divided into the control group ( n=67) and the experimental group ( n=68) . The control group adopted conventional nursing methods, while the experimental group implemented aerobic exercise intervention supported by a mobile phone pedometer on the basis of the control group. The general information questionnaire, SAS and Chinese version of European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life-Chemotherapy (EORTC-QLQ-C30) were used to compare the effects of intervention. Results:After the intervention, the SAS score of patients in the experimental group was (60.03±9.26) , which was lower than (64.31±8.74) of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The scores of the overall health dimension and 4 functional dimensions (physical function, role function, emotional function and social function) of Chinese version of EORTC-QLQ-C30 of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group. The scores of 7 symptom dimensions (fatigue, pain, nausea and vomiting, insomnia, decreased appetite, constipation and diarrhea) were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Aerobic exercise intervention supported by mobile pedometers can reduce the anxiety and improve quality of life of patients with gynecological tumors undergoing chemotherapy, which is suitable for clinical application.
