简要总结
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the 15 weeks Chan-Chuang qigong program with breathing meditation on quality of life and interoceptive awareness in patients with breast cancer during chemotherapy.
详细描述
Cancer is the leading cause of death globally, and breast cancer is the number one threat to women's health worldwide. Chemotherapy is the main adjunctive treatment for breast cancer. However, chemotherapy increasingly being employed in the management of breast cancer patients will cause physical and psychological discomfort as reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Chan-Chuang qigong therapy with breathing meditation on quality of life and interoceptive awareness in breast cancer patients. This was a randomized controlled trial. Participants were randomly assigned to the qigong group who received Chan-Chuang qigong therapy with breathing meditation for 15 weeks, and the control group who received routine care. The outcomes were measured by using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) and Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA).

主要结局
Change in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire(EORTC QLQ-C30) scores
时间窗: baseline, Week 6, Week 15.
Quality of life was assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30).It consists of 30 items to measure multiple aspects that incorporated five functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), three symptom scales (fatigue, pain, and nausea/vomiting), a global health status/QoL scale, and six single common items (dyspnea, loss of appetite, insomnia, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). The scoring system ranged from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much). High scores for functional items and low scores for symptoms represent the good QoL.There are two questions for the overall quality of life rating, and the ranking ranged from 1 (very poor) to 7 (excellent).
Change in Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA-C) scores
时间窗: baseline, Week 15
Interoceptive Awareness was assessed using the Chinese version of the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA-C). which adopts the systematic development of a self-filled questionnaire for the research of experiencing inner perception and the assessment of the physical and mental activity. A total of 32 questions were divided into eight dimensions: Noticing, Not distracting, Not worrying, Attention regulation, Emotional awareness, Self-Regulation, Body listening, and Trusting. The scale asks the individual to answer questions about their inner perception and circle the number that best suits their feelings. The answer options for each question ranged between 0 (never) and 5 (always). The higher scores indicating more positively appraised interoceptive awareness.
