Our aim was to investigate the effect of reflexology and progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) exercises on pain, fatigue, and quality of life (QoL) of gynecologic cancer patients during chemotherapy.
Eighty participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups: reflexology, progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) exercises, both (reflexology + PMR), or a control group. Data were collected with a general data collection form, Brief Pain and Fatigue inventories, and Multidimensional Quality-of-Life Scale-Cancer.
In reflexology and reflexology + PMR groups, a significant decrease in pain severity and fatigue and an increase in QoL were found (p < .05). In the PMR alone group, pain severity and fatigue decreased significantly (p < .05), but there was no significant change identified in QOL (p > .05).
Reflexology and PMR exercises given to gynecologic cancer patients during chemotherapy were found to decrease pain and fatigue and increase QoL.
我们的目的是研究足部反射疗法和渐进性肌肉松弛（PMR）练习对妇科癌症患者化疗期间疼痛、疲劳及生活质量（QoL）的影响。
80名参与者被随机分配到四组之一：足部反射疗法组、渐进性肌肉松弛（PMR）练习组、两者结合组（足部反射疗法 + PMR）或对照组。通过一般数据收集表、简短疼痛和疲劳量表以及多维癌症生活质量量表收集数据。
在足部反射疗法组和足部反射疗法 + PMR组中，疼痛严重程度和疲劳显著降低，生活质量提高（p < 0.05）。仅在PMR组中，疼痛严重程度和疲劳显著降低（p < 0.05），但生活质量无显著变化（p > 0.05）。
发现化疗期间对妇科癌症患者进行足部反射疗法和PMR练习可减轻疼痛和疲劳并提高生活质量。
