Physical activity improves breast cancer-related symptoms in women and decreases cancer-related mortality. The main objective of this systematic review is to synthesize and analyze the evidence of the effect of dragon boating on the quality of life of female breast cancer survivors. A systematic review based on the PRISMA method was conducted using four databases (Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane and Pubmed). The search phrase used was "Breast Cancer" AND "Dragon Boat" AND "Quality of Life". The search was conducted in June 2024. The PEDro method was used to ensure the quality of the publications. A total of 77 articles published until 2024 were selected, of which 10 met the inclusion criteria of assessing the application of dragon boating and that used a validated instrument to assess quality of life. There is no homogeneity in terms of the instrument used to measure QOL. The SF-36 was the most commonly used, followed by the FACT-B and the EORTC QLQ-C30. Five out of ten articles compared the improvement in quality of life between dragon boating and other physical activities, while 6 out of 10 analyzed the pre-post effect of dragon boat use. Dragon boating is a physical activity alternative that improves the quality of life of breast cancer survivors and reduces the symptomatology caused by the disease and its treatments. As dragon boat programs are applied over a longer period of time, the improvements in quality of life are greater. When compared with other types of physical activity, dragon boating does not show significant differences that position it as a better option for this population.
体育活动可改善女性乳腺癌相关症状并降低癌症相关死亡率。本系统评价的主要目的是综合分析龙舟运动对女性乳腺癌幸存者生活质量影响的证据。采用PRISMA方法,通过四个数据库(科学网、Scopus、Cochrane和PubMed)进行了系统评价。使用的检索词为“乳腺癌”、“龙舟”和“生活质量”。检索于2024年6月进行。采用PEDro方法确保出版物质量。共筛选出截至2024年发表的77篇文章,其中10篇符合评估龙舟运动应用且使用经过验证的工具评估生活质量的纳入标准。用于测量生活质量的工具不存在同质性。SF-36是最常用的,其次是FACT-B和EORTC QLQ-C30。十篇文章中有五篇比较了龙舟运动与其他体育活动在生活质量改善方面的差异,而十篇中有六篇分析了龙舟运动使用前后的效果。龙舟运动是一种体育活动选择,可改善乳腺癌幸存者的生活质量,减轻疾病及其治疗引起的症状。随着龙舟运动项目实施时间延长,生活质量的改善更大。与其他类型的体育活动相比,龙舟运动并未显示出显著差异,使其成为该人群更好选择。
