Intervention by using upper limb rehabilitation exercise video on life quality in patients after modified radical mastectomy / 上海预防医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To assess the intervention effect of upper limb rehabilitation exercise video on life quality in patients after modified radical mastectomy. Methods A total of 160 breast cancer patients received modified radical mastectomy were from Shanghai Jiading District Maternal and Child Health Hospital from June 2017 to June 2019.They were randomly divided into control group and observation group with 80 cases in each group.The patients in the control group were trained with routine upper limb rehabilitation exercise, and the patients in the observation group were given video training for upper limb rehabilitation exercise.Quality of life (QOL), anxiety scale and depression scale were used for corresponding evaluations.Satisfaction and compliance scales were also used for evaluation. Results Before intervention, there was no significant difference in each index between the two groups (P>0.05).After intervention, the quality of life in the observation group was better than that in the control group, including life status (21.43±4.83), functional status (19.69±4.72), emotional status (19.83±4.36), social/family status (19.59±3.62) and additional attention (24.73±3.27).There was no statistically significant difference in these parameters before and after intervention in the control group (P>0.05).The scores of anxiety (36.37±5.64) and depression (37.28±4.47) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant.The nursing satisfaction of patients in the observation group was much higher than that in the control group (91.25% vs 77.50%), and the proportion of compliance was higher than that in the control group (97.50% vs 68.75%). Conclusion In breast cancer patients received radical mastectomy, video-guided rehabilitation training can improve the quality of life and nursing satisfaction, compliance of rehabilitation, and condition of anxiety and depression.
