We describe a development and feasibility study of a Sitting Simple Baduanjin program for advanced cancer patients suffering from the fatigue-sleep disturbance symptom cluster. This study was to evaluate the practicality and safety of the Sitting Simple Baduanjin intervention and determine its preliminary efficacy.
This work employed a single-arm mixed-methods approach. The primary outcome measures were feasibility (i.e., recruitment, adherence, and satisfaction) and safety. Validated self-report questionnaires were used to evaluate the preliminary effects of the program, including fatigue, sleep quality, and quality of life at the 4th, 8th, and 12 weeks of the intervention. Qualitative interviews were also conducted after the program.
A total of 30 participants were enrolled, of which 23 (77%) completed the 12-week Sitting Simple Baduanjin program. The mean adherence rate was 88% and no adverse events were reported. Statistically significant improvements were observed in terms of fatigue, sleep quality, and quality of life after program completion. Four themes emerged from the qualitative interview data: (a) acceptability of the Sitting Simple Baduanjin technique, (b) perceived benefits of exercise, (c) barriers, and (d) facilitators.
The findings support the feasibility of the Sitting Simple Baduanjin program for advanced cancer patients and show promise in improving patients' levels of the fatigue-sleep disturbance symptom cluster and quality of life.
我们描述了一项针对患有疲劳 - 睡眠障碍症状群的晚期癌症患者的简易坐式八段锦项目的开发和可行性研究。本研究旨在评估简易坐式八段锦干预措施的实用性和安全性，并确定其初步疗效。
本研究采用单臂混合方法。主要结局指标为可行性（即招募、依从性和满意度）和安全性。使用经过验证的自我报告问卷来评估该项目的初步效果，包括干预第4周、第8周和第12周时的疲劳、睡眠质量和生活质量。项目结束后还进行了定性访谈。
共招募了30名参与者，其中23名（77%）完成了为期12周的简易坐式八段锦项目。平均依从率为88%，未报告不良事件。项目完成后，在疲劳、睡眠质量和生活质量方面观察到有统计学意义的改善。定性访谈数据中出现了四个主题：（a）简易坐式八段锦技术的可接受性，（b）运动的感知益处，（c）障碍，以及（d）促进因素。
研究结果支持简易坐式八段锦项目对晚期癌症患者的可行性，并显示出在改善患者疲劳 - 睡眠障碍症状群水平和生活质量方面的前景。
