Application effect of pulmonary rehabilitation exercise program based on behavioral change theory in patients with lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy
Objective To explore application effect of pulmonary rehabilitation exercise program based on behavioral change theory in patients with lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy.Methods A total of 80 patients with lung cancer treated with chemotherapy from July 2022 to March 2023 in the Department of Respiratory Medicine Nanjing First Hospital were selected.According to the order of admission time they were divided into control group and experimental group,with 40 cases in each group.The control group received routine pulmonary rehabilitation exercise guidance,and the experimental group received pulmonary rehabilitation exercise program based on behavior change theory.The scores of exercise compliance,exercise endurance,and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Results At the 12th week of intervention,exercise compliance scores of both groups were higher than those at the 4th week of intervention,and experimental group was higher than control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The overall analysis found that there were statistical significant differences in the time point comparison and interaction of six-minute walking test(P<0.05).There was a statistical significant difference in Borg score of dyspnea at different time points(P<0.05).Comparison within group:six-minute walking test of experiment group on the 12th week of intervention was longer than before intervention and at the 4th week of intervention;Borg score of dyspnea in both groups at the 12th week of intervention was lower than that before intervention and at the 4th week of intervention was lower than before intervention(P<0.05);Comparison between groups:there was no statistical significant difference in six-minute walking test and Borg score of dyspnea between experimental group and control group(P>0.05).After intervention,total scores of quality of life in both groups were higher than those before intervention,and experimental group was higher than control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The intervention program of pulmonary rehabilitation exercise program based on behavioral change theory is conducive to improving patients exercise compliance,enhancing exercise endurance and improving patients'quality of life.
