Biobehavioral Effects of Tai Chi Chih Among Elderly Female Cancer Survivors
Persons over age 65 years constitute a large and growing population of cancer survivors.
Available data indicate that both short- and long-term female breast cancer survivors report more limitations related to strength and mobility than women with cancers of other sites and women without a personal history of cancer.
Further, better mental health among breast cancer survivors has been shown to protect against physical decline and overall quality of life.
The combination of mental and physical interventions may result in substantial improvements in quality of life.
Tai Chi Chih (TCC), a form of mind-body exercise, is one such intervention.
TCC may be particularly suited toward elderly breast cancer survivors with impaired physical and/or mental functioning, yet despite its increasing popularity and benefits in healthy and diseased populations, its benefits have never been scientifically evaluated in this population.
The overarching goal of this study is to conduct preparatory work regarding the effects of TCC on quality of life and physical function that will underpin future definitive trials of TCC in elderly cancer survivors.
As part of this 12-week trial, participants will be randomized to a TCC or a health education control group (HEC).
Establishment of meaningful interventions that facilitate a more positive cancer survival experience in old age is an important issue; there are substantial public health and clinical benefits should a TC intervention be successful in this patient population.

실험적: Tai Chi Chih
The Tai Chi Chih classes were 60 minutes sessions, held three times a week, over twelve weeks.
The classes were led by an instructor who was certified and licensed in the Tai Chi Chih form.
|
Tai Chi Chih (TCC), a westernized and manualized form of the ancient TC Chuan, consists of a series of 20 simple, repetitive, non-strenuous movements that involve no physical contact and emphasize a soft, flowing continuity of motion.
This form of meditation through movement consists of a standardized protocol that emphasizes slow, fluid, continuous forms that integrate mental concentration, awareness, balance, shifting of body weight, gentle movement, imagery, muscle relaxation and breathing control.
TCC was developed for use with elderly persons.
|
활성 비교기: Health Education Classes
Health Education classes were 60 minute sessions that occurred three times a week, over twelve weeks.
These classes were taught by specialists in the class topic and focused on topics related to aging (e.g., sleep quality, nutrition, pain, etc.).
|
The Health Education classes serve as an attention control group, are led by gerontology specialists, physicians, and other health professionals, and focus on topics that are relevant to elderly cancer survivors.

---|---|---|
Health-Related Quality of Life (Short Form (SF)-36v1)
기간: 13 weeks
|
SF-36v1 Health Survey assesses quality of life and produces mental and physical component summary scores, with a score range of 0 to 100.
Higher scores indicate better quality of life.
|
13 weeks
|
Perceived Stress Scale
기간: 13 weeks
|
The 10-item perceived stress scale produces a summation score.
Scores can range from 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating more stress.
|
13 weeks
|
Impact of Events Scale
기간: 13-weeks
|
The Impact of Event Scale assesses cancer-specific distress.
Each item is scored 0 (not at all), 1 (rarely), 3 (sometimes)or 5 (often), with the higher scores reflecting more stressful impact.
It has a total score and two subscales (avoidance & intrusion).
The two subscales are scored by summing their corresponding items and the total score is the sum of two subscales.
The scores for the intrusive subscale range from 0 to 35, and scores for the avoidance subscale range from 0 to 40.
The Total Score ranges from 0-75, with higher scores reflecting more stressful impact.

Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index
기간: 13-weeks
|
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality produces a global score.
The range is 0 to 21, higher scores indicate worse sleep quality.
|

|
Five-Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire
기간: 13-weeks
|
The Five-Facet Mindfulness questionnaire produces a total score and five facet subscales (observing, describing, acting with awareness, nonjudging, & nonreactivity).
These are summation scores, and the scores range from 8 to 40 (except for the nonreactivity facet which ranges from 7 to 35).
Higher scores indicate more mindfulness.
The Total Score ranges from 39-195, with higher scores indicating more mindfulness.

기간: 13-weeks
|
Five saliva samples (awakening, 30 minutes after awakening, noon, 5pm, & 10pm) were collected on a weekend day at one week after class completion.
Cortisol was measured in nmol/L.
Cortisol AUC was calculated using the five timepoints with the trapezoid rule.
The groups were compared at post-intervention on their log transformed cortisol AUC controlling for baseline cortisol and reported as adjusted means.
Four participants with high cortisol profiles across the five collection times (with suspected contamination from gum bleeding) and participants whose collection time was beyond a one hour window were excluded.
