Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: Cardiotoxicity following cancer chemotherapy or radiotherapy is an emerging issue for breast cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to analyze the current domestic research trends for exercise intervention for Korean breast cancer patients under chemotherapy or radiotherapy, focused on cardiovascular indices as study outcome measures and to make suggestions for future nursing studies.
Methods: A literature search was done using PubMed, CINAHL and two Korean databases to identify experimental studies reported in Korean or English between 2,000 and 2015. We identified five studies independently reviewed by two reviewers. The quality and risk of bias of the selected studies were assessed by RoBANS criteria.
Results: Tai-chi exercise was used in three studies and aerobic exercise programs or yoga and walking exercise in the remaining studies. Two studies evaluated cardiovascular outcomes and showed positive findings for breast cancer patients. For cardiovascular indices, heart rate and blood pressure were used.
Conclusion: This study showed the need for conducting well-designed experimental studies including clinical cardiovascular outcomes to generate evidence on exercise intervention for cancer therapy-induced cardiotoxicity prevention. Additional studies are warranted to accelerate the potential use of exercise as a nursing intervention for cancer patients under chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
