Abstract

Purpose

To analyze the effects of 12 weeks of dance therapy compared to control group I and control group II on anxiety, stress, optimism, and depressive symptoms in women undergoing breast cancer surgery.

Methods

This randomized clinical trial involved 21 (59 ± 9.9 years) breast cancer survivors and 12 (51 ± 10.8 years) healthy women who were divided into three groups: (a) dance therapy (GI n = 10), (b) control group I (GC n = 11) and (c) control group II (GCII n = 12). The results evaluated were: Anxiety (Beck Anxiety Inventory); Stress (Perceived Stress Scale); Optimism (Life Orientation Test); and depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory).

Results

There was an improvement in anxiety (p ≤ 0.001) within and between GI when compared to the other groups. There was an improvement in optimism in the GC (p = 0.017) and a worsening in the GI (p = 0.004). No changes were observed in the analyzed variables within or between GCII.

Conclusion

Dance therapy showed positive effects on anxiety in women undergoing breast cancer surgery compared to the groups who did not participate in the intervention in this study.

舞蹈疗法对接受乳腺癌手术妇女的焦虑、压力、乐观和抑郁症状的影响：一项随机临床试验

目的分析12周舞蹈治疗对乳腺癌手术妇女焦虑、压力、乐观和抑郁症状的影响，并与对照组I和对照组II进行比较。方法将21例（59±9.9岁）乳腺癌幸存者和12例（51±10.8岁）健康女性随机分为3组：(a)舞蹈治疗组（GI n = 10）、(b)对照组I （GC n = 11）和(c)对照组II （GCII n = 12）。评估结果为：焦虑（贝克焦虑量表）；压力（感知压力量表）；乐观主义（生活取向测验）；和抑郁症状（贝克抑郁量表）。结果与其他组相比，GI组内及GI组间焦虑均有改善（p≤0.001）。GC的乐观情绪有所改善（p = 0.017）， GI的乐观情绪有所恶化（p = 0.004）。GCII内或GCII之间的分析变量未观察到变化。结论与未参与干预组相比，舞蹈治疗对乳腺癌手术妇女的焦虑有积极作用。巴西临床试验注册中心（ReBEC）（No. 0RBR-772ktp）。
