Abstract

Introduction: Sleep is one of the most crucial basic human needs in Maslow's hierarchy, while sleep disorders are the most commonly occurring complications of chemotherapy.

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation techniques on the sleep quality of patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy.

Methods: This study was a randomized clinical trial performed on patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Ninety cancer patients were selected by the convenience sampling method and randomly assigned into two groups; the progressive muscle relaxation group and the control group. Before the intervention, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire (PSQQ) was completed for patients in both groups. In the intervention group, progressive muscle relaxation was performed for 4 weeks (twice daily and 20 min each time). In the control group, patients only received routine care. After the intervention, the PSQQ was completed again for patients in both groups. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 23.

Results: The mean and standard deviation of age were 45.95 ± 10.26 years. The samples of the intervention and control groups were homogeneous in terms of demographic characteristics. The results showed a significant improvement in the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index in the intervention group before and after the intervention (P < .001, Z = 5.09). However, this rate was not different in the control group. The sleep level of the intervention and control groups was not different at the beginning of the study. However, at the end of the study, the sleep score in the intervention group had decreased significantly (P < .001, Z = 3.52).

Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that progressive muscle relaxation improves the sleep quality of patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Therefore, relaxation can be considered a useful and effective intervention for improving sleep quality of patients with cancer.

雅各布森放松技术对接受化疗的癌症患者睡眠质量的影响：随机临床试验

简介睡眠是马斯洛层次理论中人类最重要的基本需求之一，而睡眠障碍是化疗最常见的并发症：本研究旨在确定渐进式肌肉放松技术对接受化疗的癌症患者睡眠质量的影响：本研究是一项随机临床试验，对象是正在接受化疗的癌症患者。通过方便抽样法选取了 90 名癌症患者，并将其随机分为两组：渐进式肌肉放松组和对照组。干预前，两组患者均填写了匹兹堡睡眠质量问卷（PSQQ）。在干预组中，进行为期 4 周的渐进式肌肉放松（每天两次，每次 20 分钟）。对照组患者只接受常规护理。干预结束后，两组患者均再次填写 PSQQ。数据使用 SPSS 23 版进行分析：结果：干预组和对照组患者的平均年龄为（45.95±10.26）岁，标准差为（45.95±10.26）岁。干预组和对照组样本的人口统计学特征相同。结果显示，干预组的匹兹堡睡眠质量指数在干预前后均有明显改善（P Z = 5.09）。然而，对照组的这一比率并无差异。干预组和对照组的睡眠水平在研究开始时没有差异。然而，在研究结束时，干预组的睡眠评分明显下降（P Z = 3.52）：本研究结果表明，渐进式肌肉放松能改善接受化疗的癌症患者的睡眠质量。因此，放松可被视为改善癌症患者睡眠质量的一种有用且有效的干预措施。
