研究概览
简要总结
Cancer is one of the main causes of death, and this study looks at how light exercise and stretching might reduce anxiety in patients receiving chemotherapy. The research took place in a hospital's daily care unit and used a study design where each patient was compared to themselves, measuring anxiety before and after the exercise program.

主要结局
The Change in the Anxiety Assessment Scale (STAI-State) for Cancer Patients Receiving Chemotherapy Doing Mild Exercises and Stretches
时间窗: Baseline and approximately 20 minutes post-intervention
The STAI-State (Greek version, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory -STAI-) will be used to assess anxiety levels in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, before and after a brief exercise intervention. The STAI-State scale has a 20-item questionnaire where individuals rate how they feel at a particular moment on a scale from "not at all" to "very much so." "Not at all" equal to 1, "Somewhat" to 2, "Moderately so" to 3, "Very much so" to 4. Scores are submitted and range from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating greater anxiety. No subscale is required to compute At baseline (Time = 0 minutes), participants complete the STAI-State scale. They then engage in a 15-minute mild exercise and stretching program tailored to their physical condition. In some cases, particularly among younger participants, the session may be conducted in small groups of up to 2 individuals. Immediately post-intervention (approximately 20 minutes from baseline), participants complete the STAI-State scale again.
