Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of shoulder and neck exercises in patients with implantable infusion port via upper arm in breast cancer chemotherapy. Methods A total of 96 breast cancer patients receiving upper arm implantable infusion port chemotherapy in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force Military Medical University from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected as the study objects. The patients were divided into control group and observation group by computer stratification, with 48 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing intervention, and the observation group received shoulder and neck exercises based on the control group. The intervention time of the two groups was eight weeks. The shoulder joint function score, upper limb function status rating scale, and catheter associated thrombosis (CRT) occurrence were compared between the two groups. Results After eight weeks of intervention, the shoulder joint function scores in both groups were higher than before intervention, and the observation group was higher than the control group (P<0.05); after eight weeks of intervention, the upper limb dysfunction scores in both groups were lower than before intervention, and the observation group was lower than the control group (P<0.05); the severity of CRT in the observation group was lower than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Shoulder and neck exercises for breast cancer chemotherapy patients with upper arm implantable infusion port can effectively improve the degree of shoulder joint mobility limitation, improve the upper limb function, and reduce the incidence and severity of CRT.
