- A nurse-led yoga program was tested for its effects on women with gynecological cancer undergoing chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy.
- The study was a single-blind randomized controlled trial with participants divided into an intervention group (yoga + usual care) and a control group (usual care alone).
- Primary outcome was cancer-related fatigue, with secondary outcomes including psychological distress and health-related quality of life.
- Results showed significant reductions in cancer-related fatigue and distress in the yoga group at both post-intervention and follow-up assessments.
- Improvements were also noted in physical well-being and functional well-being subscales of health-related quality of life.
- The study concludes that nurse-led yoga programs can effectively alleviate cancer-related fatigue and distress in this patient population.
- The trial was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2400083352).
