Objectives: The purposes of this study was to develope a Qi gong exercise that suits characteristics of post mastectomy women, and to evaluate the effect of Qi gong exercise on immune response, blood circulation index, pulse wave parameter and heart rate variability.
Methods: This study was applied to total 35 post mastectomy women, including 17 for experiment group and 18 for control group. The Qi gong exercise was composed of total 24 times of 90 minutes per each time, twice a week, and 12 weeks and it was conducted by the oriental medicine professor who was an expert of Qi gong exercise.
Results: 1. Two group comparison revealed that the experimental group had significantly improved immune response(p<.021), HR(beats/min)(p<.001), ESV(ml/beat)(p=.038), ESI(ml/beat/m2)(p=.040), ECO(L/min)(p=.019), ECI(L/min/m2
)(p=.023), ECRI(dyne*sec/cm)(p=.015), Left Kwan(div3)(p=.021), Right Kwan(div3)(p=.038), Mean HRV(cycle/min)(p<.001), SDNN(ms)(p=.043), RMSSD(ms)(p=.040), and TP(log ms2)(p=.039). 2. Two group comparison revealed that the experimental group had significantly decreased ECR(dyne*sec*cm-5) (p=.034), Left RAI(p=.044), Right RAI(p=.042), and pNN50(%)(p=.038).
Conclusions: These results from Qi gong exercise program can be used as basic data for development of health promotion program for Post Mastectomy Women.
