ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical values of postoperative aerobic exercise and psychological intervention in patients with breast cancer after operation.Methods One hundred patients with breast cancer admitted to our hospital were prospectively studied.All patients underwent modified radical mastectomy and were randomly assigned into observation group (50 cases)and control group (50 cases).The patients in the observation group were treated with aerobic exercise and psychological intervention,and the health education was given in the control group. The 3 -month postoperative self -rating anxiety scale score,self -rating depression scale score,shoulder mobility, degree of limb edema and 6 -month postoperative health related quality of life (SF -36)of the two groups were observed.Results There were no significant differences between the two groups in preoperative self -rating anxiety scale score,self -rating depression scale score,degree of limb edema and health related quality of life (all P >0.05).However,the self -rating anxiety scale score of the observation group three months after operation significantly decreased compared with the control group[(40.94 ±9.20)points vs.(45.84 ±8.79)points,t =2.722,P =0.008];self -rating anxiety scale score significantly decreased[(40.18 ±9.96)points vs.(45.28 ±8.67)points,t =2.730, P =0.008];the degree of limb edema was significantly reduced[(10.00 ±6.27)mL vs.(18.52 ±7.20)mL,t =6.313,P =0.000].The health related quality of life 6 months after operation was significantly improved[(78.70 ± 8.85)points vs.(72.02 ±9.76)points,t =3.584,P =0.001 ].Compared with the control group,the shoulder flexion,extension,abduction,external rotation and internal rotation of the observational group were significantly increased at 3 months after operation (all P <0.05 ).Conclusion Postoperative rehabilitation and psychological intervention contribute to the rapid recovery in patients with breast cancer after operation.
