Patients frequently encounter both physical and mental challenges after undergoing surgery for breast cancer, leading to a negative impact on their general well-being. Our objective was to investigate the beneficial effects of dietary supplementation with bananas on patients after breast cancer surgery.
Among breast cancer patients who had undergone breast surgery, the banana group ( = 77) consumed an additional banana daily alongside their regular diet, while the non-banana group ( = 77) did not. Negative emotions, sleep quality, sexual health, complication rates, length of hospital stay, and quality of life were assessed.
Compared to the non-banana group, patients in the banana group exhibited lower levels of depression and anxiety, better sleep quality, more satisfactory sexual quality of life, and a higher overall quality of life postoperatively. Nonetheless, the complication rates and length of hospital stay did not show any notable variances between the 2 groups.
This study highlights the novel finding that simple dietary supplementation with bananas significantly enhances mental well-being and overall quality of life in breast cancer patients following surgery, despite no notable impact on physical recovery metrics.
乳腺癌患者术后经常会面临身体和心理上的挑战，这对他们的整体健康产生负面影响。我们的目的是研究乳腺癌术后患者补充香蕉饮食的有益效果。
在接受乳房手术的乳腺癌患者中，香蕉组（n = 77）在常规饮食基础上每天额外食用一根香蕉，而非香蕉组（n = 77）则不额外食用。评估负面情绪、睡眠质量、性健康、并发症发生率、住院时间和生活质量。
与非香蕉组相比，香蕉组患者术后抑郁和焦虑水平较低，睡眠质量更好，性生活质量更令人满意，总体生活质量更高。然而，两组之间的并发症发生率和住院时间没有显著差异。
本研究突出了一个新发现，即简单的香蕉饮食补充能显著提高乳腺癌术后患者的心理健康和总体生活质量，尽管对身体恢复指标没有显著影响。
