Previous studies have shown that dancing can improve well-being, but few studies have looked at ballroom dancing. The present pilot study focuses on ballroom dancing and aims to investigate its effect on the physical, psychological, and mental well-being of cancer patients. Owing to COVID-19, face-to-face courses had to be replaced by online courses to continue the intervention and maintain learning progress; after the end of the pandemic, the courses could occur on site again when possible.
For this cohort study, a total of 51 participants (38 patients and 12 healthy partners, no data for 1; 34 women and 9 men, no data for 8) participated. There were no limitations regarding the type of cancer, treatment, or comorbidities. It was an open access offering; participants were recruited through the newspaper and support groups. Using an anonymous standardized questionnaire and a numeric rating scale (NRS) ranging from 1 to 10, the participants were asked to rate their mental, physical, and psychological well-being at defined time points over one week. No side effects were registered and the teaching methods appeared to be practicable for the patients.
The pilot study showed an improvement in well-being after ballroom dancing. The results for physical, psychological, and mental well-being were significant ( < 0.0001). On average, men reported better scores, and all improvements were significant for both men and women. Overall, the healthy partners rated their well-being slightly better on average than the patients. A mixed-model analysis with repeated measurements in SAS was used to evaluate significant results ( < 0.05).
Our data show that ballroom dancing for cancer patients has a positive effect on their well-being, even though their well-being returns to baseline levels within the following days. Positive effects were also demonstrated for participating healthy partners.
先前的研究表明跳舞可以改善幸福感，但很少有研究关注交际舞。本试点研究聚焦于交际舞，旨在调查其对癌症患者身体、心理和精神幸福感的影响。由于新冠疫情，面对面课程不得不被在线课程取代，以继续干预并维持学习进度；疫情结束后，课程尽可能再次在现场进行。
在这项队列研究中，共有51名参与者（38名患者和12名健康伴侣，1人无数据；34名女性和9名男性，8人无数据）参与。对癌症类型、治疗或合并症没有限制。这是一项开放获取的活动；参与者通过报纸和支持小组招募。使用匿名标准化问卷和1至10的数字评分量表（NRS），要求参与者在一周内的特定时间点对他们的精神、身体和心理幸福感进行评分。未记录到副作用，教学方法对患者似乎可行。
试点研究表明交际舞后幸福感有所改善。身体、心理和精神幸福感的结果具有显著性（<0.0001）。平均而言，男性报告的得分更高，男性和女性的所有改善均具有显著性。总体而言，健康伴侣平均对自己幸福感的评分略高于患者。使用SAS中的重复测量混合模型分析来评估显著结果（<0.05）。
我们的数据表明，癌症患者跳交际舞对其幸福感有积极影响，尽管他们的幸福感在接下来的几天内会恢复到基线水平。参与的健康伴侣也显示出积极效果。
