舞蹈/运动疗法 (DMT) 越来越多地用作解决心理和身体健康问题的补充疗法。然而，目前尚不清楚如何将其用于成人癌症护理。这种混合方法计划评估旨在评估患者报告的在学术肿瘤学环境中对虚拟 DMT 的益处和满意度。我们开发、实施和评估了为期 6 周的虚拟同步 DMT 计划，旨在改善身体健康、解决精神困扰、并促进癌症患者的社会联系。我们使用去识别化的项目评估数据来评估 DMT 对患者报告的结果以及患者对 DMT 项目满意度的影响。使用描述性统计和配对 t 检验对会前和会后数据进行分析。通过半结构化访谈获取定性数据，并使用主题分析进行分析。 39 名参与者（平均年龄 64.7±9.8 岁）的结果显示出很高的满意度（100%，其中大多数为女性（89.7%），有乳腺癌病史（43.6%）） ）和一致的节目推荐（100%）。焦虑（- 0.42 ± 0.76，p = .009）、痛苦（- 0.35 ± 0.80，p = .036）和快乐感（0.73 ± 1.18，p = .004）有显着改善，且非体力活动增加呈显着趋势（0.38±0.98，p= .057）。主题研究结果表明，DMT 参与 (1) 促进身体活动，从而改善身体健康；(2) 促进创造性表达；(3) 改善精神状态；(4) 帮助建立社会联系和支持。我们的 DMT 计划显示出以下前景：综合癌症护理的一个组成部分。混合方法评估提供了富有洞察力的信息，为未来的 RCT 研究生成假设，旨在评估 DMT 对患者体验和结果的具体影响。© 2024。作者获得 Springer-Verlag GmbH 德国公司的独家许可，该公司是施普林格自然。

Dance/movement therapy (DMT) is increasingly used as a complementary treatment to address psychological and physical wellbeing. However, it is unknown how it can be leveraged in adult cancer care. This mixed methods program evaluation aimed to assess patient-reported benefits and satisfaction with the virtual DMT in an academic oncology setting.We developed, implemented, and evaluated a 6-week virtual, synchronous DMT program aiming to improve physical health, address mental distress, and foster social connection for cancer patients. We used deidentified program evaluation data to assess impact of DMT on patient-reported outcomes and patients' satisfaction with the DMT program. Pre- and post-session data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired t-test. Qualitative data were captured through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis.Results from 39 participants (mean age 64.7 ± 9.8), majority female (89.7%) with a history of breast cancer (43.6%), showed high satisfaction (100%) and unanimous program recommendation (100%). Significant improvements were noted in anxiety (- 0.42 ± 0.76, p = .009), distress (- 0.35 ± 0.80, p = .036), and sense of joy (0.73 ± 1.18, p = .004), with a non-significant trend in increased physical activity (0.38 ± 0.98, p = .057). Thematic findings indicated that DMT participation (1) facilitated engagement in physical activity for improved physical health, (2) fostered creative expression, (3) improved mental state, and (4) helped build social connections and support.Our DMT program shows promise as a component of integrative cancer care. The mixed-method evaluation provides insightful information to generate hypotheses for future RCT studies aiming to evaluate the specific effects of DMT on patient experience and outcomes.© 2024.
