Summary

Cancer is one of the main causes of death, and this study looks at how light exercise and stretching might reduce anxiety in patients receiving chemotherapy. The research took place in a hospital's daily care unit and used a study design where each patient was compared to themselves, measuring anxiety before and after the exercise program.

Interventions

OTHER

Mild Exercise and stretches

For 15 minutes the patient received an individualized mild workout program intending to relax and relieve some of his stress. The workout includes deep breaths, easy-to-do exercises, and stretches from lying on the bed, sitting in a chair, or standing. I always followed the patient's tempo and provided him with as many breaks as he needed.
