Dance has been highlighted as one of the most enjoyable, safe, and feasible forms of physical activity, improving physical health, mental health, and general well-being, among various patients. Little is known about the effect and impact of dance interventions to improve health among patients with pulmonary diseases, and research lacks a robust synthesis of evidence. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to investigate the impact of dance intervention on patients with noninfectious pulmonary diseases. Following the PRISMA guidelines, six electronic databases were searched in May 2022. Of the 1308 unique records identified, seven studies (five quantitative, two qualitative) across four countries were included in this systematic review. Six studies investigated adult populations, and one study explored the effect of dance on children. The dance interventions lasted between 1 and 10 weeks. Overall, dance was perceived to have a broad range of physical/mental/social benefits, including quality of life, social cohesion, dyspnoea levels, balance, exercise tolerance, general well-being, and adherence to nutrition regimens. Furthermore, the dance session was the most enjoyable activity among children and adolescents with asthma. With available evidence, dance interventions are promising and may effectively improve health and well-being among patients with noninfectious pulmonary diseases. More organised and continuous long-term dance interventions in future may reveal a detailed impact on health outcomes.
舞蹈被强调为最令人愉悦、安全且可行的身体活动形式之一，能改善各种患者的身心健康和整体幸福感。然而，对于舞蹈干预在改善肺部疾病患者健康方面的效果和影响知之甚少，且研究缺乏对证据的有力综合。因此，本系统评价旨在调查舞蹈干预对非传染性肺部疾病患者的影响。本研究遵循 PRISMA 指南，于 2022 年 5 月检索了六个电子数据库。在 1308 条独特记录中，有 7 项研究（5 项定量研究，2 项定性研究）来自四个国家，被纳入本系统评价。其中 6 项研究调查了成年人群，1 项研究探讨了舞蹈对儿童的影响。舞蹈干预持续时间为 1 至 10 周。总体而言，舞蹈被认为具有广泛的身心/社会益处，包括生活质量、社会凝聚力、呼吸困难程度、平衡、运动耐量、整体幸福感和对营养方案的依从性。此外，对于患有哮喘的儿童和青少年来说，舞蹈课程是最令人愉悦的活动。有现有证据表明，舞蹈干预具有很大的前景，可能有效改善非传染性肺部疾病患者的健康和幸福感。未来更有组织和持续的长期舞蹈干预可能会揭示对健康结果的详细影响。
