Introduction Dance movement therapy (DMT) is a movement-based psychosocial intervention that incorporates the therapeutic components of dance movements and group psychotherapy. DMT, also known as creative movement therapy (CMT) is a psychotherapy used as a complementary therapy in cancer care. It helps in enhancing mood, emotions, self-expression and helps to rebuild self-confidence. Besides, it allows the patients to recognise their own strengths and weaknesses as well as helps to improve physical capabilities. Methods By simple random sampling method, 30 breast cancer patients were recruited at Pravara Rural Hospital, Loni, Maharashtra, India. The participants were in the age range of 30-60 years based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pre-intervention scores of cancer-related fatigue (CRF) were taken using the Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) scale and intervention was given for 45 minutes each day for 5 days a week, over a span of 2 weeks. Thereafter, post-intervention assessment was done and the scores were noted. Pre-intervention and post-intervention scores were compared using paired t-test. Results The mean and standard deviation (SD) of pre- and post-BFI scores derived by using paired t-test was 73.76 (8.6) and 69.33 (9.8), respectively, with a p-value of < 0.001, which is highly significant. Conclusion The results of the present study revealed that DMT seems to be effective in reducing some amount of CRF in breast cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy. Besides, it turned out to be an engaging, entertaining and cost-effective approach. The investigation showed that DMT appears to be beneficial in reducing the side effects of radiation therapy such as pain, stress, anxiety and fear, giving a psychotherapeutic relief but did not completely remove the persistent fatigue experienced by the breast cancer patients. Thus, further investigation with long-term follow-up is recommended.
引言
舞蹈动作疗法（DMT）是一种基于动作的社会心理干预方法，它融合了舞蹈动作和团体心理治疗的治疗成分。DMT，也被称为创造性动作疗法（CMT），是一种在癌症护理中用作辅助疗法的心理治疗方法。它有助于改善情绪、情感、自我表达，并有助于重建自信心。此外，它能让患者认识到自己的优点和缺点，并有助于提高身体能力。
方法
采用简单随机抽样法，在印度马哈拉施特拉邦洛尼的普拉瓦拉农村医院招募了30名乳腺癌患者。根据纳入和排除标准，参与者年龄在30至60岁之间。使用简短疲劳量表（BFI）对癌症相关疲劳（CRF）进行干预前评分，每周5天，每天进行45分钟的干预，为期2周。此后，进行干预后评估并记录分数。使用配对t检验比较干预前和干预后分数。
结果
通过配对t检验得出的干预前和干预后BFI分数的平均值和标准差（SD）分别为73.76（8.6）和69.33（9.8），p值<0.001，具有高度显著性。
结论
本研究结果表明，DMT似乎对降低接受放射治疗的乳腺癌患者的一定程度的CRF有效。此外，它被证明是一种引人入胜、有趣且具有成本效益的方法。调查显示，DMT似乎有助于减轻放射治疗的副作用，如疼痛、压力、焦虑和恐惧，提供心理治疗缓解，但并未完全消除乳腺癌患者持续存在的疲劳。因此，建议进行长期随访的进一步研究。
