Journal Article
Randomised controlled trial on the effectiveness of home-based walking exercise on anxiety, depression and cancer-related symptoms in patients with lung cancer
2015
Overview
Background:
Although exercise has been addressed as an adjuvant treatment for anxiety, depression and cancer-related symptoms, limited studies have evaluated the effectiveness of exercise in patients with lung cancer.
Methods:
We recruited 116 patients from a medical centre in northern Taiwan, and randomly assigned them to either a walking-exercise group (
n
=58) or a usual-care group (
n
=58). We conducted a 12-week exercise programme that comprised home-based, moderate-intensity walking for 40 min per day, 3 days per week, and weekly exercise counselling. The outcome measures included the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Taiwanese version of the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory.
Results:
We analysed the effects of the exercise programme on anxiety, depression and cancer-related symptoms by using a generalised estimating equation method. The exercise group patients exhibited significant improvements in their anxiety levels over time (
P
=0.009 and 0.006 in the third and sixth months, respectively) and depression (
P
=0.00006 and 0.004 in the third and sixth months, respectively) than did the usual-care group patients.
Conclusions:
The home-based walking exercise programme is a feasible and effective intervention method for managing anxiety and depression in lung cancer survivors and can be considered as an essential component of lung cancer rehabilitation.
