Lifestyle interventions program may provide a non-pharmacologic adjunctive therapy for symptom management in breast cancer survivors.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Objective: Many breast cancer survivors have unmet physical and psychological needs. fterefore, current study aimed to evaluate the impact of a lifestyle interventions program on fatigue, quality of sleep, quality of life (QoL), and body mass index (BMI) in women with breast cancer.Materials and Methods: ftis randomized controlled trial study (RCT) was carried between 2012 and 2015, and included 80 women with breast cancer. ftey were divided into two groups via a random allocation process: 40 women were allocated to the lifestyle interventions group, and 40 to the control group.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Women in the lifestyle group received dietary energy-restriction training and practiced supervised aerobic exercises for 45-60 minutes three times per week throughout 24 weeks and the control group continued their routine life.Results: Differences between the two groups were significantly high for those who participated in the intervention group; this group reported significantly less fatigue, less BMI, improved QoL and better quality of sleep as compared to the control group (p<0.05).Conclusion: Breast cancer survivors may physically and psychologically benefit from participating in a healthy lifestyle interventions program. ftis program can help relieve fatigue, maintain healthy BMI, improve QoL and enhance the quality of sleep in women with breast cancer.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:Lifestyle interventions program may provide a non-pharmacologic adjunctive therapy for symptom management in breast cancer survivors.
