Abstract

This systematic review is aimed to investigate yoga interventions in children receiving cancer treatment. “Science Direct, Medline/Pubmed, Cochrane” databases were searched to determine the studies conducted between 2009-2020 on yoga practices in children receiving cancer treatment. In the review, “Child / Adolescent/ Pediatric, Cancer, Yoga Therapy and Mind-Body Interventions/Therapies” keywords used. From the reviewed articles, seven studies that met the criteria were included. In this systematic review, "How is the effectiveness of yoga practices in children receiving cancer treatment?" and "For which symptoms are yoga practices applied in children who receive cancer treatment?" questions were determined. In studies, yoga was found to be applicable to pediatric oncology patients. The effects of yoga on quality of life, fatigue, anxiety, sleep quality, physical activity level, motor skills, and psychological status were investigated. There was an increase in functional mobility, gross motor function perception, flexibility, and physical activities of children in studies. Yoga is a safe physical activity for pediatric oncology patients, which positively affects the quality of life.

KANSER TEDAVİSİ ALAN ÇOCUKLARDA YOGA TERAPİ: SİSTEMATİK DERLEME

Abstract

Bu sistematik incelemede kanser tedavisi alan çocuklarda yoga uygulamalarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Kanser tedavisi alan çocuklarda yoga uygulamaları ile ilgili 2009-2020 yılları arasında yapılan çalışmaları belirlemek için “Science Direct, Medline/Pubmed, Cochrane” veri tabanları taranmıştır. Tarama yapılırken, “çocuk/adölesan/pediatrik, kanser, yoga terapi ve zihin-beden uygulamaları/terapileri” anahtar sözcükleri kullanılmıştır. Anahtar kelimelerle yapılan araştırma sonucunda 209 makaleye ulaşılmıştır. İncelenen makalelerde kriterlere uyan 7 çalışma incelemeye alınmıştır. Bu sistematik incelemede “Kanser tedavisi alan çocuklarda yoga uygulamalarının etkinliği nasıldır?” ve “Kanser tedavisi alan çocuklarda yoga uygulamaları hangi semptomlara yönelik uygulanmaktadır?” soruları belirlendi. İncelenen makalelerde yoganın pediatrik onkoloji hastalarına uygulanabilir olduğu bulunmuştur. Yoganın yaşam kalitesi, yorgunluk, anksiyete, uyku kalitesi, fiziksel aktivite seviyesi, motor beceri ve psikolojik durum üzerine etkileri incelenmiştir. Yapılan çalışmalarda çocukların fonksiyonel mobilitesinde, kaba motor fonksiyon algısında, esnekliğinde ve fiziksel aktivitelerinde artış gözlenmiştir. Yoga, pediatrik onkoloji hastaları için yaşam kalitesini olumlu yönde etkileyen güvenli bir fiziksel aktivitedir.
