OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the palliative potential of home-based yoga sessions provided to women with advanced cancer.
METHOD
Personalised 45-minute yoga sessions were offered to three women with advanced cancer by an experienced yoga teacher. Each woman took part in a one-to-one interview after the completion of the yoga programme and was asked to describe her experiences of the programme's impact.
RESULTS
The personalised nature of the yoga sessions resulted in similar positive physical and psychosocial effects comparable to those demonstrated in other studies with cancer patients. Participants described physical, mental, and emotional benefits as well as the alleviation of illness impacts. The enhancement of mind-body and body-spirit connections were also noted.
CONCLUSION
Personalised home-based yoga programmes for people with advanced cancer may produce similar benefits, including palliation, as those institutionally-based programmes for people with non-advanced cancer.
目的
本试点研究的目的是调查为晚期癌症女性提供的居家瑜伽课程的姑息治疗潜力。
方法
一位经验丰富的瑜伽老师为三名晚期癌症女性提供了个性化的45分钟瑜伽课程。每位女性在瑜伽课程结束后都参加了一对一访谈，并被要求描述她对该课程影响的体验。
结果
瑜伽课程的个性化性质产生了与其他针对癌症患者的研究中所显示的类似的积极身体和心理社会效果。参与者描述了身体、心理和情感上的益处以及疾病影响的减轻。还注意到身心和身体-精神联系的增强。
结论
为晚期癌症患者提供的个性化居家瑜伽课程可能会产生与为非晚期癌症患者提供的机构化课程类似的益处，包括姑息治疗。
