    Author: Wang YQ, Liu X, Yin YY, Ma RC, Yang Z, Cao HP, Xie J.
    Journal: Oncol Nurs Forum; 2019 Jul 01; 46(4):E119-E134. PubMed ID: 31225844.
    Abstract:
    PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION: To investigate the effectiveness of home-based exercise training on exercise capacity, dyspnea, anxiety, depression, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). LITERATURE SEARCH: A systematic literature search of the Cochrane Central Register of Randomized Controlled Trials, Embase®, PubMed®, and Web of Science databases was performed for articles published through July 22, 2018. DATA EVALUATION: The meta-analysis was conducted with Review Manager, version 5.3, following PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. SYNTHESIS: 10 articles with a total of 453 patients met the inclusion criteria. Home-based exercise training was found to increase the six-minute walk distance. In addition, anxiety was also improved after the intervention. However, no improvements in dyspnea, depression, or HRQOL were observed. IMPLICATIONS FOR RESEARCH: Home-based exercise training as a nursing intervention for promoting the rehabilitation of patients with lung cancer can be recommended, but more research should be undertaken to determine the most effective exercises and follow-up methods.
