Abstract

A diagnosis of a hematologic or oncologic disease in a child can be stressful for the patient and the family. Yoga as an intervention has been reported to decrease stress in adults diagnosed with chronic disorders but few studies have been reported with children and their families. A convenience sample of patients diagnosed with cancer or a blood disorder (ages 7-17 years) and their caregivers was selected to participate in a single bedside yoga class. Participants were surveyed pre and post yoga with the Spielberger State Trait Anxiety Scale. Children were also surveyed pre and post yoga with the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale. Children had a significant decrease in pain post yoga but no change in anxiety. Adolescents and parents had a significant decrease in anxiety post yoga intervention.

瑜伽作为儿童血液和肿瘤疾病的补充和替代疗法。

儿童血液学或肿瘤学疾病的诊断对病人和家庭来说都是有压力的。据报道，瑜伽作为一种干预手段，可以减少被诊断患有慢性疾病的成年人的压力，但很少有针对儿童及其家庭的研究报道。为了方便起见，研究人员选择了被诊断患有癌症或血液疾病的患者(年龄在7-17岁)及其护理人员参加一个床边瑜伽课程。参与者在瑜伽前后用斯皮尔伯格状态特质焦虑量表进行了调查。孩子们在瑜伽前后也接受了Wong-Baker面部疼痛量表的调查。练习瑜伽后，孩子们的疼痛明显减轻，但焦虑没有变化。青少年和父母在瑜伽干预后焦虑显著减少。
