Abstract
Objective To explore the effects of exercise intervention on cancer related fatigue and quality of life in patients with cervical cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Methods A total of 120 patients with cervical cancer were randomly divided into two groups: experimental group and control group, with 60 cases respectively. Patients in the control group underwent routine nursing. Patients in the experimental group received routine nursing with additional regular exercise interventions. Cancer related fatigue and quality of life of patients were compared between two groups. Results According to the Revised Piper Fatigue Scale (PFS-R) , the mean scores of the domains including behavior, emotion, body, cognition and fatigue in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05) . The total score of the quality of life of patients in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05) . Conclusions Exercise intervention can significantly reduce the cancer related fatigue and improve the quality of life of patients with gynecological malignancies undergoing chemotherapy. Key words: Cervical neoplasms; Quality of life; Cancer related fatigue; Chemotherapy
