Physical activity as care action for persons with breast cancer: a literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Bröstcancer är en internationellt växande sjukdom som drabbar framförallt kvinnor, med symtom och biverkningar från behandling som berövar personerna på glädjeämnen de tidigare upplevt. Fysisk aktivitet ger bland annat minskad östrogennivå, höga östrogennivåer sammankopplas med uppkomst av bland annat bröstcancer. Sjuksköterskans omvårdnadsåtgärder består av symtomkontroll, utvärdering av symtomlindrande behandling, samt psykosocialt stöd. Genom att ha ett personcentrerat förhållningssätt kan maktbalansen mellan vårdgivare och vårdtagare jämnas ut, och vårdtagarens autonomi värderas högt. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturöversikten är att beskriva fysisk aktivitet som ett komplement till den ordinarie omvårdnad som ges till personer med bröstcancer. Metod: Litteraturöversikt som inkluderar 17 kvantitativa artiklar. Resultat: Fysisk aktivitet fungerar som komplement till ordinarie omvårdnad som ges till personer som genomgår bröstcancerbehandling. Fysisk aktivitet reducerar smärta, fatigue, illamående och stress. Dessutom ökar livskvalité och energinivåer medan muskelmassa och muskelfunktion bibehålls. Slutsats: Fysisk aktivitet bör inkluderas i ordinarie omvårdnad för personer med bröstcancer, då träning fungerar symtomlindrande och höjer livskvalitén för de under behandling. Detta icke-farmakologiska alternativ till symtomlindring reducerar vissa biverkningar, som uppkommer från farmakologiska alternativ som används.

Abstract [en]

Background: Breast cancer is an international growing illness which occurs mostly in women, symptoms and side effects from treatments can deprive patients of pleasures they experienced previously. Physical activity leads to a reduction in estrogen levels, elevated estrogen levels are associated with onset of for instance breast cancer. The nurses care actions consist of symptom control, evaluation of symptom-reliving treatment and psychosocial support. With a person-centered approach, the balance of power between caregiver and caretaker can be evened out, and the care-takers autonomy is highly valued. Aim: The aim with this literature review is to describe physical activity as a compliment to the ordinary treatment for breast cancer. Method: Literature review which includes 17 articles with a quantitative approach. Result: Physical activity serves as complement to the ordinary nursing care for persons undergoing breast cancer treatment. Physical activity reduces pain, fatigue, nausea, and stress. Additionally, quality of life and energy levels increases, and muscle mass and function are maintained. Conclusion: Physical activity should be included in the ordinary care for persons with breast cancer. Exercise alleviates symptoms and enhances quality of life for persons during breast cancer treatment. Physical activity is a non-pharmacological alternative which reduces some side effects from pharmacological symptomrelieving treatment.
