非何杰金氏淋巴瘤發生率從888人(1995年)增為1941人(2008年)有越來越高的趨勢；但存活率卻也可高達67%，並且可以使非何杰金氏淋巴瘤病患於治療後回到社會工作維持良好的生活品質。本研究主要目的是探討八段錦的介入對非何杰金氏淋巴瘤病患接受化學治療後所造成身心壓力、生活品質以及免疫功能改善情形。研究對象以高雄市某教學醫院之接受化學治療合併類固醇藥物治療後二個月至一年的非何杰金氏淋巴瘤病患為收案對象。本研究為類實驗設計，採立意取樣分為實驗組或對照組，實驗組25人，對照組26人。實驗組給予每日一次，每次十五分鐘，為期六週的八段錦氣功運動訓練；對照組則不給予任何介入措施維持原本的生活，並於介入措施前一週、介入措施六週後各進行壓力知覺量表(PSS)填寫、歐洲癌症治療與研究組織生活品質量表繁體中文版（EORTC-C30)、噬中性白血球、免疫球蛋白G、免疫球蛋A、免疫球蛋白M收集資料。研究結果以SPSS 19.0版統計軟體進行以平均值、標準差、百分比、卡方檢定、曼-惠特尼U考驗法（Mann-Whitney U)、廣義估計方程式（Generalized estimating equation,GEE）等分析法進行統計分析。結果顯示實驗組在接受六週八段錦氣功運動訓練後壓力知覺達顯著差異(P<.05)；生活品質方面，歐洲癌症治療與研究組織生活品質量表之整體生活品質有顯著差異(P<.05) ；於身體功能、角色功能、認知功能、社會功能、情緒功能皆無顯著差異(P>.05) ；生理症狀皆無顯著差異(P>.05)。免疫功能無顯著差異(P>.05)。故本研究結果為八段錦對非何杰金氏症淋巴瘤患者之降低壓力及整體生活品質有成效。

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma incidence rate was increasing with 67% respectively survival rate. Dealing with physical and psychological pressure, maintaining quality of life and boosting immune function after chemotherapy are important issues during long-term survivor period.. Baduanjin, one of the most common Chinese qigong which combines exercise, meditation and easy movement, may reduce the physical/emotional distress and boost immune system that resulting from the chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Baduanjin exercise on stress、quality of Life and immune function for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma patients after receiving chemotherapy .
51 Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients were recruited in a medical center of Kaohsiung city 2 months to one year after chemotherapy. This quasi-experimental designed study includes twenty-five patients in the experimental group who received a 6-weeks Baduanjin qigong exercise training program, and Twenty-six patients in the control group who did not receive any intervention. The Perceived stress scale (PSS)、 European Cancer Treatment and Research Organization Quality of Life Scale (EORTC-C30)、absolute neutrophil count (ANC) 、immunoglobulin G、 immunoglobulin A、immunoglobulin M were measured at the first week of pre-intervention and the sixth week after intervention. SPSS for Windows version 19.0 was used to analyze the data, including descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, Mann - Whitney U test method and generalized estimating equation ( GEE). The results showed that Stress scores (PSS) in the experimental group after 6 weeks Baduanjin Qigong exercise training was significantly lower than the control group (P <.05) and the overall quality of life in experimental group was significantly higher than the control group (P <.05).However, there were no significant differences on physical function, role function, cognition function, social function, emotional function , physiological symptoms and immune function between two groups (P> .05). The results of this study may suggest the post-chemotherapy Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients practicing Baduanjin as daily exercise and as part of recovery activities to improve their overall health and to reduce their stress level.
