Study Goal

To investigate the effects of dynamic-static combined relaxation therapy on fatigue and sleep disorders in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Results Summary

Both static Benson relaxation and dynamic-static combined relaxation therapy significantly improved fatigue and sleep quality compared to routine nursing, with the combined therapy showing superior benefits. No significant adverse effects were reported, but safety was not explicitly assessed.

Population

114 breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy at Tangshan People's Hospital (September 2023-June 2024).

Effective Dosage

8-week intervention (frequency not specified).

Duration

8 weeks.

Interactions

None mentioned.

Abstract

PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of dynamic-static combined relaxation therapy on fatigue and sleep disorders in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. METHODS: A total of 114 patients receiving chemotherapy at Tangshan People's Hospital (September 2023-June 2024) were randomly divided into three groups: control (routine nursing), experiment group 1 (static Benson relaxation), and experiment group 2 (dynamic yoga + static Benson relaxation). The intervention lasted 8 weeks. Cancer-related fatigue and sleep disorders were assessed before and after intervention using the Revised Piper Fatigue Scale and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). RESULTS: Prior to intervention, there were no significant differences in fatigue and sleep quality across groups (P > 0.05). Post-intervention, both experiment groups showed significant improvements in fatigue and sleep quality compared to the control (P < 0.001). Experiment group 2 showed greater reductions in behavior, body, and total fatigue scores compared to experiment group 1 (P < 0.001). Sleep quality also improved significantly in both experiment groups, with experiment group 2 demonstrating superior outcomes in sleep quality, duration, daytime dysfunction, and total PSQI score (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The Benson relaxation technique and dynamic-static combined relaxation therapy are effective in reducing fatigue and improving sleep quality in breast cancer chemotherapy patients, with the dynamic-static combined relaxation therapy offering greater benefits.
