Abstract
Objetivo: Describir el efecto de un programa piloto
de yoga en la calidad de vida de pacientes pediátricos
con cáncer en tratamiento ambulatorio con
quimioterapia.
Método: diseño mixto, cuasi-experimental, prepost.
Se reclutaron participantes entre 6 a 10 años,
ocho completaron todo el programa. El programa
consideró 6 sesiones grupales de Hatha yoga. Se utilizaron
las escalas Calidad de Vida pediátrica versión
genérica y específica del cáncer (Pediatric Quality of
life inventory (PedsQl) 4.0 y 3.0). Se realiza una entrevista
semi-estructurada para identificar beneficios
percibidos por el/la cuidador/a.
Resultados: Los datos cuantitativos no muestran
diferencias significativas en resultados de calidad de
vida antes y después del programa, pero cualitativamente
se reportaron beneficios en las entrevistas a
cuidadores en las categorías del dolor, resistencia física
y estado de ánimo.
Conclusiones: Este estudio piloto aporta a la implementación
de futuras investigaciones que incorporen
el yoga en oncología pediátrica en un entorno
hospitalario.
Objective: To describe the effect of a pilot yoga program on the quality of life of pediatric cancer patients undergoing outpatient chemotherapy treatment. Metod: mixed, quasi-experimental design, with pre-test and post-test. Participants aged 6 to 10 years were recruited, eight completed the entire program. The program considered 6 Hatha yoga group sessions per participant. The questionnaires on Pediatric Quality of Life generic and specific version of cancer (Pediatric Quality of life inventory (PedsQl) 4.0 and 3.0) were used. A semi-structured interview is conducted to identify the benefits perceived by the caregiver. Results: There were no significant differences in the results of quality of life before and after the program, but benefits were reported in the interviews with caregivers in the categories of pain, physical resistance, and mood. Conclusions: This study could serve as a guide for future research that incorporates yoga in pediatric oncology, in a hospital setting.
