Current research indicates that structured yoga practice may improve physical and emotional symptoms related to cancer treatment. Yoga is recommended for patients with cancer, yet there are barriers to participation in community- and hospital-based classes. Wellness interventions such as yoga are easy to access via the internet, but information can be overwhelming and not tailored to people with cancer.
The purpose of this study was to develop a nurse-led, breast cancer-specific, web-based gentle yoga video for home use, and to understand the feasibility, utilization, and safety of the video in a sample of breast cancer survivors.
Data was collected via open-ended telephone interviews three times over a 4-week period.
The 14 women participating in the study reported that the web-based video was safe in that it resulted in no injury, and was easy to use, and convenient to access. However, most did not continue to practice the video for the full 4 weeks of the study. A knowledge deficit about gentle yoga as a structured mindful movement-based practice rather than a vigorous exercise was identified.
Nurses can provide tailored wellness interventions for cancer survivors via video stream. Future work should include instruction that yoga is a mindfulness-based self-care activity requiring regular practice.
目前的研究表明，有组织的瑜伽练习可能会改善与癌症治疗相关的身体和情绪症状。瑜伽被推荐给癌症患者，但由于各种原因，他们可能无法参加社区和医院的瑜伽课程。基于互联网的健康干预措施，如瑜伽，很容易获得，但信息可能会让人不知所措，并且不针对癌症患者。
本研究旨在开发一种由护士主导的、针对乳腺癌患者的、基于网络的、适合在家使用的温和瑜伽视频，并了解该视频在乳腺癌幸存者样本中的可行性、利用率和安全性。
数据通过在 4 周的时间内进行三次开放式电话访谈收集。
参与研究的 14 名女性报告称，基于网络的视频是安全的，因为它没有造成任何伤害，而且易于使用，也便于访问。然而，大多数人并没有在研究的 4 周内继续练习视频。研究发现，她们对温和瑜伽作为一种有组织的正念运动练习而不是剧烈运动的认识存在不足。
护士可以通过视频为癌症幸存者提供个性化的健康干预措施。未来的工作应该包括对瑜伽是一种需要定期练习的基于正念的自我保健活动的指导。
