The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the 15 weeks Chan-Chuang qigong program with breathing meditation on quality of life and interoceptive awareness in patients with breast cancer during chemotherapy.
Cancer is the leading cause of death globally, and breast cancer is the number one threat to women's health worldwide. Chemotherapy is the main adjunctive treatment for breast cancer. However, chemotherapy increasingly being employed in the management of breast cancer patients will cause physical and psychological discomfort as reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Chan-Chuang qigong therapy with breathing meditation on quality of life and interoceptive awareness in breast cancer patients. This was a randomized controlled trial. Participants were randomly assigned to the qigong group who received Chan-Chuang qigong therapy with breathing meditation for 15 weeks, and the control group who received routine care. The outcomes were measured by using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) and Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA).
