Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, and the second leading cause of cancer deaths. The detection and treatment of this cancer may create mental pressure and lower mood levels, causing anxiety, depression, stress, and pain for the patients.
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of Swedish massage on mood disorders in breast cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy at the cancer institute of the Imam Khomeini hospital at the Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
This study consisted of a clinical trial including 100 patients with breast cancer. The participants were chosen randomly, with their consent, by the use of polling, to be included in the intervention group (which received a Swedish massage three times a week, for 30 minutes, over five weeks) and control group (which received routine care). At the beginning of the intervention and after 5 weeks, the mood disorders of the patients, including anger, anxiety, depression, and any positive affect, were assessed using the affective control scale (ACS) questionnaire.
Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in the average of the overall scale between the intervention and control groups in the subscales of anger, anxiety, depression, and positive affect (P = 0.469). The average of the overall scale in the Swedish massage group decreased from 3.52 ± 0.65 to 2.42 ± 0.76 when compared to the pre-intervention conditions, and to (P < 0.001) after the intervention. Moreover, the values for the control group were 3.41 ± 0.94 for the pre-intervention and 3.38 ± 0.9 after the intervention (P = 0.620).
When compared to the control group, the Swedish massage showed an improvement in the mood disorders of women with breast cancer.
乳腺癌是女性中最常见的癌症,也是癌症死亡的第二大主要原因。这种癌症的检测和治疗可能会给患者带来心理压力并降低情绪水平,导致焦虑、抑郁、压力和疼痛。
本研究的目的是确定瑞典式按摩对德黑兰医科大学伊玛目霍梅尼医院癌症研究所接受放疗的乳腺癌患者情绪障碍的影响。
本研究为一项临床试验,包括100名乳腺癌患者。参与者通过投票随机选择,并征得他们的同意,分为干预组(每周接受三次瑞典式按摩,每次30分钟,持续五周)和对照组(接受常规护理)。在干预开始时和5周后,使用情感控制量表(ACS)问卷评估患者的情绪障碍,包括愤怒、焦虑、抑郁和任何积极情绪。
干预前,干预组和对照组在愤怒、焦虑抑郁和积极情绪等子量表的总体量表平均值上没有显著差异(P = 0.469)。与干预前相比,瑞典式按摩组的总体量表平均值从3.52±0.65降至2.42±0.76,干预后降至(P < 0.001)。此外,对照组干预前的值为3.41±0.94,干预后为3.38±0.9(P = 0.620)。
与对照组相比,瑞典式按摩改善了乳腺癌女性的情绪障碍。
