During the COVID-19 pandemic, patients with cancer have been particularly vulnerable to experiencing high levels of psychological distress. This study implemented a 16-week online home-based exercise program to assess its impact on sleep quality during the pandemic. Fifteen participants completed the program, which included functional exercises conducted via Zoom. Sleep quality was evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and accelerometry.
Participants showed notable improvements: PSQI scores decreased significantly, indicating better sleep quality, reduced sleep latency, and increased sleep duration and efficiency. Objective measures also reflected improvements in total sleep time and reduced average awakening duration.
Online exercise interventions can effectively enhance sleep quality in breast cancer survivors, emphasizing the importance of integrating exercise into their care, especially during disruptive periods like a pandemic.
在新冠疫情期间,癌症患者特别容易出现高度的心理困扰。本研究实施了一项为期16周的在线居家锻炼计划,以评估其在疫情期间对睡眠质量的影响。15名参与者完成了该计划,其中包括通过Zoom进行的功能锻炼。使用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI)和加速度计对睡眠质量进行评估。
参与者表现出显著改善:PSQI评分显著降低,表明睡眠质量更好、睡眠潜伏期缩短、睡眠时间和效率增加。客观测量也反映出总睡眠时间有所改善,平均觉醒时间减少。
在线锻炼干预可以有效提高乳腺癌幸存者的睡眠质量,强调了将锻炼纳入其护理的重要性,尤其是在像疫情这样的干扰时期。
