“…After treatment, it is important to control gastric cancer survivors' symptoms in order to enable their adaptation to their new life and improve their QoL. In this regard, intervention programs such as complex exercise therapy and health education therapy, which have been determined to produce successful result with other type of cancer survivors, may be effective [9,32]. In terms of education methods, the conventional method based on brochures and multimedia can be used to provide basic knowledge in only a limited way [8].…”

Background: The number of gastric cancer survivors has been increasing, and such survivors experience various changes in their lives post-recovery. Adapting to these changes requires appropriate interventions that can improve their quality of life (QoL). This study was conducted to investigate the factors affecting the QoL of gastric cancer survivors to provide basic data for effective intervention.Methods: Data were collected between September 8 and September 29, 2017 from the Gastric Cancer Center at a tertiary hospital. Questionnaire surveys were conducted using the EORTC QLQ-C30/STO22, Self-Efficacy-Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and Quality of Life-Cancer Survivors Questionnaire on gastric cancer survivors who were followed up for three years after gastrectomy. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression analysis.Results: A total of 136 gastric cancer survivors completed the questionnaire survey. There were significant positive correlations of QoL with self-efficacy, functional status, and social support (r=.35, p<.001; r=.53, p<.001; r=.26, p<.001, respectively). There were significant negative correlations of QoL with general symptoms, gastric cancer-specific symptoms (r=-.39, p<.001; r=-.51, p<.001). The regression model explained 48.3% of the QoL, and the affecting factors were gastric cancer-specific symptoms (β=-.397, p<.001), religious belief (β=.299, p<.001), functional status (β=.251, p=.003), and self-efficacy (β=.191, p=.004).Conclusion: This study confirmed that gastric cancer-specific symptoms, spiritual well-being, self-efficacy and functional status affect the QoL of gastric cancer survivors. Hence, these factors should be considered in the interventions to improve the QoL of gastric cancer survivors.

“…Most studies on cancer survivors have been conducted on survivors of breast cancer and childhood cancer [8][9][10][11]. Even in South Korea, there has not been much research on gastric cancer survivors despite the high occurrence rate of this cancer and high survival rate of individuals with this cancer.…”

Introduction.The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of 2 different exercise regimens on cardiovascular fitness in women with breast cancer. Methods. A total of 110 women consented to take part in the study but only 102 met the inclusion criteria and were involved (8 patients did not meet the research criteria and were excluded); 95 women completed the interventions and were included in the final analysis. The patients' mean age was 57.53 ± 1.92 years for group A and 58.00 ± 1.27 years for group B. The participants were randomly assigned to 2 groups. Group A (n = 48) received hatha yoga intervention and group B (n = 47) received Pilates intervention for 3 months. impedance cardiography was used to measure pre-and post-intervention functional capacity of the cardiovascular system. Results. Post-intervention impact was observed for both intervention approaches, but better improvement was noted in the group of hatha yoga than that of Pilates. The actual values of stroke volume and left ventricular power were significantly higher in group A compared with group B by 6.05 ml/beat (p < 0.05) and 0.19 W (p < 0.05), respectively; the relative values were correspondingly better by 6.22% (p < 0.05) and 10.71% (p < 0.05). Conclusions. Hatha yoga and Pilates interventions are both effective in improving cardiovascular function, but hatha yoga turns out more beneficial.

“…Physical activity is increasingly recognized as an effective method of reducing emotional distress and improving life quality among patients who survived cancer. A growing body of research indicates the benefits of yoga exercises [8][9][10][11][12][13][14], cognitive behavioural therapy [15], mindfulness-based stress reduction [16,17], physical activity [18], music therapy [19,20], progressive muscular relaxation [21][22], and mixed aerobic and muscle strengthening exercise [23] for improving mental and physical conditions in breast cancer patients.…”

Introduction. The aim of the study was to examine the impact of different exercise interventions on anxiety and depression in breast cancer patients through 1-year outpatient rehabilitation. Methods. overall, 138 breast cancer patients were assessed for eligibility. After excluding 14 women, 124 patients were randomly allocated to water exercise interventions (group A, n = 50), Pilates exercise interventions (group B, n = 44), and yoga exercise interventions (group C, n = 30). Finally, 115 patients completed relevant interventions and were analysed. The participants reported anxiety and depression using the Hospital Anxiety and depression Scale at baseline and after 6 and 12 months of the interventions. Results. After 12 months, a decrease in anxiety and depression was observed by 5.64 (p < 0.001) and 4.09 (p < 0.001) points in group A, by 5.75 (p < 0.001) and 4.60 (p < 0.001) points in group B, and by 4.07 (p < 0.001) and 3.14 (p < 0.001) points in group C, respectively. Group A showed significantly better results than group C in anxiety (by 1.54 points; p < 0.01) and depression (by 1.40 points; p < 0.05). Group B obtained significantly better results than group C in anxiety (by 1.61 points; p < 0.01) and depression (by 1.81 points; p < 0.01). Conclusions. Practising a water exercise program resulted in a better decrease of anxiety and depression levels compared with Pilates and yoga interventions.
