BACKGROUND
Yoga may reduce negative cancer- and treatment-related effects and help improve a range of outcomes, including flexibility, mindfulness, and quality of life among adults affected by cancer. Yet there is little evidence for the role of yoga among young adults (18-39 years) affected by cancer.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of young adults affected by cancer in an 8-week yoga intervention delivered by videoconference.
METHODS
Young adults who were diagnosed with cancer between the ages of 18 and 39 years, at any stage of the cancer trajectory, who were living in Canada, and who completed an 8-week yoga intervention were approached to complete a semi-structured interview. A social constructivist paradigm was adopted. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis.
RESULTS
Twenty-eight young adults (Mean age = 34.67 ± 5.11 years; = 25 female) with varied cancer diagnoses participated. Participants' perspectives were represented across 6 themes: (1) I was juggling a number of challenges and changes throughout the yoga intervention; (2) I noticed some improvements in my mental and physical health; (3) I made time to discover new strategies to take care of myself; (4) I was able to see what my body is capable of; (5) I was held accountable and I appreciated that, and; (6) I was able to be around similar others in a safe (virtual) space.
CONCLUSIONS
Findings suggest that an 8-week yoga intervention may offer some benefits for young adults affected by cancer. Self-care, self-compassion, mindfulness, feelings of physical competence, establishing a routine, and being around similar others were viewed as important components of the intervention and may have contributed to the benefits experienced. Findings underscore the potential utility of yoga as a supportive care intervention for young adults affected by cancer.
背景
瑜伽可能会减轻癌症相关的负面效应和治疗相关的负面效应，并有助于改善一系列结果，包括成年人的灵活性、正念和生活质量。然而，在癌症影响的年轻人（18-39 岁）中，瑜伽的作用几乎没有证据。
目的
本研究旨在探索通过视频会议进行的 8 周瑜伽干预对癌症影响的年轻人的体验。
方法
被诊断为癌症且年龄在 18 至 39 岁之间、癌症处于任何阶段、居住在加拿大、并完成 8 周瑜伽干预的年轻人，受邀完成半结构式访谈。采用社会建构主义范式。访谈逐字转录，并使用反思性主题分析进行分析。
结果
共有 28 名患有不同癌症诊断的年轻人（平均年龄=34.67±5.11 岁；25 名女性）参加了研究。参与者的观点体现在 6 个主题中：（1）在整个瑜伽干预过程中，我正在应对许多挑战和变化；（2）我注意到我的心理健康和身体健康有了一些改善；（3）我有时间发现照顾自己的新策略；（4）我能够看到自己的身体有什么能力；（5）我有责任意识，我很感激这一点；（6）我能够在一个安全（虚拟）的空间中与类似的人在一起。
结论
研究结果表明，8 周的瑜伽干预可能对癌症影响的年轻人有一些益处。自我保健、自我同情、正念、身体能力感、建立常规以及与类似的人在一起被视为干预的重要组成部分，可能有助于体验到的益处。研究结果强调了瑜伽作为癌症影响的年轻人支持性护理干预措施的潜在效用。
