Abstract

Objective To explore the clinical effects of six-minute walk combined with mindfulness meditation in lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Methods This study selected 60 patients diagnosed with lung cancer who were admitted to Yueyang Central Hospital from January 2024 to June 2024 as the research subjects. Using the random number table method, they were divided into a control group and an intervention group, with 30 cases in each group. The patients in the control group received routine care, while the patients in the intervention group received six- minute walking combined with mindfulness meditation intervention. The lung function, cancer-related fatigue (CRF) conditions, and comfort levels of the two groups of patients were compared. Results The improvement in peak expiratory flow rate (PEF) and forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV₁) of the intervention group were greater than those in the control group(P < 0.05); the total score decline of the cancer fatigue scale (CFS) and the score of the emotional fatigue dimension in the intervention group were greater than those in the control group (P < 0.05); the increase in the total score of the general comfort questionnaire (GCQ) and the scores of the psychological comfort and environmental comfort dimensions in the intervention group were greater those that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The application of six-minute walk combined with mindfulness meditation in lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy can improve lung function, alleviate cancer-related fatigue, and enhance comfort levels.
