Exergames, which combine digital games and physical exercise, have become increasingly popular for rehabilitation in the health domain. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of exergame rehabilitation on the quality of life of cancer patients undergoing abdominal surgery.
This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effectiveness of exergame rehabilitation on the quality of life of cancer patients who had undergone abdominal surgery. Seventy postoperative patients were included, and data collection took place between January 2023 and May 2023. The patients were randomly assigned to either an exergame rehabilitation program (n = 35) or a traditional rehabilitation program (n = 35). The assessed outcome was the quality of life, and data collection occurred at three different time points: upon admission, 48 h postoperatively, and on the 7th day after surgery.
Quality of life was evaluated using the WHOQOL-BREF Scale. At the third assessment, a statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups (p = 0.016), indicating that the intervention group had a higher quality of life than the control group.
The study showed a positive effect of exergames on the population under investigation. By the 7th day after surgery, the intervention group demonstrated an improvement in their quality of life compared to the control group.

将数字游戏与体育锻炼相结合的健身游戏在健康领域越来越受欢迎，已成为康复治疗的手段。本研究旨在评估健身游戏康复对接受腹部手术的癌症患者生活质量的影响。
本随机对照试验评估了健身游戏康复对接受腹部手术的癌症患者生活质量的影响。共纳入 70 例术后患者，数据收集时间为 2023 年 1 月至 5 月。患者被随机分配到健身游戏康复组（n=35）或传统康复组（n=35）。评估的结果是生活质量，数据收集在三个不同的时间点进行：入院时、术后 48 小时和手术后第 7 天。
使用 WHOQOL-BREF 量表评估生活质量。在第三次评估时，两组之间存在统计学显著差异（p=0.016），表明干预组的生活质量高于对照组。
该研究表明健身游戏对研究人群有积极影响。与对照组相比，干预组在手术后第 7 天的生活质量有所改善。
