Abstract

This study applied aquatic and land-based exercises to breast cancer patients for comparative analysis and elucidation of their effects on the rehabilitation of cancer patients. Participants included 40 breast cancer patients who were divided into two groups: 20 participants in the experimental group using aquatic exercise and 20 participants in the control group using land-based exercise. After the addition of aquatic or land-based exercises five times per week for eight weeks, differences in each group's shoulder and pulmonary functions as well as their quality of life were compared and analyzed. The results showed a statistically significant difference (p<.001) for shoulder dysfunction, with the experimental group showing a greater improvement than the comparison group. Statistically significant differences (p<.05 and p<.001, respectively) were also observed for forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), with the experimental group showing greater improvements. Finally, a statistically significant difference (p<.001) was observed for change in the quality of life, with greater improvements in the experimental group than in the control group. The results of further research in this field are expected to indicate the most efficient method for the recovery and management of physical, psychological, and social health impacts of breast cancer on patients. Furthermore, the research aims to provide fundamental resources for breast cancer rehabilitation in South Korea by conducting studies on patients with lung cancer or colorectal cancer and the application of various aquatic exercise methods.

본 연구는 유방암 환자에게 수중 운동과 지상운동을 적용하여 비교 분석하고 암환자의 재활에 수중 운동의 효과를 규명하고자 시행하였다. 연구대상자는 유방암 환자 40명을 모집하여 수중 운동을 적용한 실험군 20명, 지상 운동을 적용한 대조군 20명으로 설정하였고, 수중운동과 지상운동을 각각 주 5회 8주간 중재한 후 어깨기능과 폐기능 삶의 질을 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 그룹 간 어깨 기능장애는 실험군에서 대조군에 비해 더 큰 변화를 보여 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였고(p<.001), 노력성 폐활량과 1초간 노력성 호기량도 실험군에서 대조군에 비해 더 큰 변화를 보여 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<.05)(p<.001). 삶의 질의 변화 비교에서도 실험군이 대조군에 비해 더 큰 변화를 보여 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<.001). 본 연구 결과가 유방암 환자의 신체적 건강과 심리적, 사회적 건강을 회복시키고 관리함에 있어 효율적인 방법을 제시할 것으로 생각되며, 향후 연구를 발전시켜 폐암, 대장암 등의 환자들을 대상으로 한 연구와 다양한 수중운동 방법들의 적용으로 연구를 발전시켜 국내 유방 암 재활 치료의 기초자료를 제시하고자 한다.
