Objective:To explore the clinical effects of tuina therapy of Yinyang Ruyin combined with aromatherapy on insomnia and quality of life in patients receiving perichemotherapy for breast cancer.Methods:Totally 199 inpatients with insomnia who received perichemotherapy for breast cancer from June 2018 to December 2019 and met inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected and divided into the control group ( n=48) , the tuina therapy of Yinyang Ruyin group ( n=50) , the aromatherapy group ( n=52) , and the combined treatment group ( n=49) according to the computer-generated random sequence. Patients in the control group received routine care; patients in the tuina therapy of Yinyang Ruyin group received tuina therapy of Yinyang Ruyin on this basis; patients in the aromatherapy group received aromatherapy on this basis; patients in the combined treatment group received both tuina therapy of Yinyang Ruyin and aromatherapy. After 6 cycles of chemotherapy, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) , Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) , and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy: General (FACT-G) were used to evaluate the intervention effects of the four groups. Results:The amelioration rates of insomnia in the 3 and 6 chemotherapy cycles after the intervention of the tuina therapy of Yinyang Ruyin group, the aromatherapy group, and the combined treatment group were higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05) ; the amelioration rates of insomnia in the 3 and 6 chemotherapy cycles after the intervention of the combined treatment group was higher than those of the tuina therapy of control group, Yinyang Ruyin group and the aromatherapy group ( P<0.05) . The repeated measures analysis of variance showed that the main effects of intervention in the PSQI, HAMD, and FACT-G scores of the four groups were statistically different ( P<0.05) ; the time of main effects of PSQI, HAMD, and FACT-G scores was significantly different ( P<0.05) ; there was an interaction between the intervention factors of PSQI, HAMD, and FACT-G scores and the time factor ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Tuina therapy of Yinyang Ruyin combined with aromatherapy can ameliorate the symptoms of insomnia and depression, thereby improving the quality of life of patients.
