中药热熨敷技术对乳腺癌化疗患者癌因性疲乏的干预效果

Effect of hot compress of Chinese medicine on cancer related fatigue in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy

目的:探讨中药热熨敷技术对乳腺癌化疗患者癌因性疲乏的干预效果。方法:将64例存在癌因性疲乏症状的乳腺癌化疗患者作为研究对象,采用随机数字法分为两组,对照组32例接受医院常规护理,实验组32例在接受医院常规护理的基础上,接受5天中药热熨敷技术干预。使用修订的Piper疲乏量表(RPFS)评价干预效果。结果:干预结束后,实验组RPFS得分明显低于对照组(P<0.05)。与干预前比较,实验组RPFS得分较5天前无显著变化(P>0.05),而对照组RPFS得分较5天前明显升高(P<0.01)。结论:中药热熨敷可延缓随化疗进行而导致的癌因性疲乏的加重。

Objective:To investigate the effect of hot compress of Chinese medicine in the breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.Methods:64 cases of breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy with symptoms of cancer-related fatigue were selected as research objects.According to random number method,they divided into two groups.32 cases in the control group received routine hospital care,and 32 cases in the experimental group received 5-day intervention with hot compress of Chinese medicine on the basis of routine hospital care.A revised Piper fatigue scale(RPFS)was used to evaluate the effect of the intervention.Results:After the intervention,the RPFS score of the experimental group was significantly lower than control group(P<0.05).Compared with the pre-intervention,the RPFS score of the experimental group was not significantly changed(P>0.05),while the control group was significantly increased(P<0.01).Conclusion:Hot compress of Chinese medicine can relieve the aggravation of cancer related fatigue caused by chemotherapy.
