Abstract

Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most common and uncontrollable subjective and persistent fatigue feelings in patients after breast cancer surgery, which seriously affects the rehabilitation effect and quality of life of patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of football intervention on cancer-related fatigue and quality of life in patients with breast cancer after nano-chemotherapy. The objective of this study is to explore the exercise program that can make patients actively carry out rehabilitation exercise and achieve good rehabilitation effect, so as to provide a theoretical and empirical basis for the study of cancer fatigue and quality of life of patients after breast cancer surgery. In this study, a quasi-experimental study method was used to conveniently select 60 breast cancer outpatients with tumor-related fatigue symptoms in a tertiary hospital in Liaoning Province. According to the convenience group, they were divided into a control group and an intervention group, 30 cases in each group. The control group received routine hospital nursing, while the intervention group received football intervention for 6 months on the basis of routine hospital nursing. The intervention measures include explaining the related knowledge of cancer-related fatigue, helping patients develop football projects, guiding patients to record football sports diaries, checking patients’ football sports diary records at the beginning of each chemotherapy cycle, and discussing football sports feelings with patients. After six months of intervention, the researchers assessed cancer-related fatigue symptoms and quality of life. Football can improve the fatigue, physiological, psychological, and psychological states of breast cancer patients after nano-chemotherapy; reduce fatigue, anxiety, and depression; improve sleep; and ultimately improve the quality of life.

Highlights

  • Breast cancer [1] is gradually becoming the first malignant tumor threatening women’s health. e incidence rate of breast cancer worldwide is 15% of all cancers, accounting for 37% of all cancer in women, accounting for 23% of all cancer deaths in women

  • (3) Fairness: after the end of the study, if the results show that the effect of football intervention is good, we will contact the patients in the control group, inform them of the research results, and recommend to help the patients in the control group to carry out rehabilitation training

  • We analyzed the data based on the interval time of each chemotherapy. e objective is to explore the effect of football intervention on the fatigue of patients with chemotherapy. e results showed that after the intervention, the scores of total fatigue, physical fatigue, emotional fatigue, and cognitive fatigue in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group

Summary

Introduction

Breast cancer [1] is gradually becoming the first malignant tumor threatening women’s health. e incidence rate of breast cancer worldwide is 15% of all cancers, accounting for 37% of all cancer in women, accounting for 23% of all cancer deaths in women. Relevant studies have shown that the incidence of cancer-related fatigue in breast cancer patients with chemotherapy is as high as 97%. We learned from the literature that the demographic data of cancer-related fatigue in breast cancer chemotherapy patients include different numbers of children, different personality types, and different degrees of housework and appetite. Chemotherapy drugs and some auxiliary drugs for breast cancer are expensive, and patients often need multiple courses of treatment, which will increase the economic burden of families At this time, the increase in medical expenses makes some patients unable to afford, and anxiety and depression appear. In the process of chemotherapy for breast cancer patients, the discomfort caused by chemotherapy and the worry about the prognosis of the disease will make the sleep quality of patients worse. ere is a real psychological gap in the life of breast cancer patients before and after their illness. e patients worried about high medical costs, the breakdown of family relations, future work, not adapting to the hospital ward environment, dependence on sleeping pills, or withdrawal symptoms
