Uvod: Rak dojk je bolezen, pri kateri nenormalne celice v dojki nenadzorovano rastejo in pri tem tvorijo tumorje, ki se brez ustreznega zdravljenja razširijo po telesu. Čeprav je ženski spol najpomembnejši dejavnik tveganja, se rak dojk pojavlja pri obeh spolih in v vseh starostnih skupinah. Možnost ozdravitve je največja ob zgodnjem odkritju, zato ima ključno vlogo preventiva. Zdravljenje običajno vključuje kombinacijo kirurških posegov, sistemskega zdravljenja in obsevanja, medtem ko se vplivi bolezni ter zdravljenja kažejo v številnih telesnih in psiholoških simptomih, ki vplivajo na kakovost življenja. Telesna dejavnost je pomemben element podpore, saj dokazano prispeva k boljšemu telesnemu in duševnemu počutju. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je bil s pregledom znanstvene in strokovne literature ugotoviti vpliv telesne vadbe na kakovost življenja pri pacientih z rakom dojk. Metode dela: Iskanje literature smo izvedli v podatkovni zbirki PubMed. Uporabljena je bila naslednja kombinacija ključnih besed v angleškem jeziku: »physical exercise« AND »breast cancer« AND »quality of life«. Rezultati: Sedem analiziranih raziskav je vsebovalo različne vadbene programe, med katerimi so bili najpogosteje zastopani aerobna vadba, vadba proti uporu in kombinacije obeh, pogosto z dodatnimi elementi, kot sta vadba za ravnotežje ali ples. Programi so trajali od 12 do 36 tednov, vadba pa je potekala dva- do trikrat tedensko. V petih raziskavah so pacienti zaznali statistično značilno izboljšavo kakovosti življenja v vadbeni skupini v primerjavi s primerjalno skupino, ena raziskava pa je kljub odsotnosti statistične značilnosti pokazala trend izboljšanja. Razprava in zaključek: Ugotovili smo, da telesna vadba pomembno izboljša kakovost življenja pacientov z rakom dojk, saj zmanjšuje utrujenost, bolečino in druge simptome ter pozitivno vpliva na telesno, čustveno in socialno delovanje tako med zdravljenjem kot po njegovem zaključku.

Izvleček

Introduction: Breast cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells in the breast grow uncontrollably and may form tumors that can spread throughout the body if left untreated. Although female sex is the strongest risk factor, breast cancer affects both women and men across all age groups. Early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment, which highlights the importance of prevention. Treatment typically involves a combination of surgery, systemic therapy, and radiation, while the physical and psychological consequences of the disease and its treatment strongly influence patients’ quality of life. Physical activity plays an important role in supporting well-being, as has been proven to improve both physical and mental health. Purpose: The aim of this thesis was to examine, through a review of scientific and professional literature, the effects of physical exercise on the quality of life of patients with breast cancer. Methods: A literature search was conducted in the PubMed database using the following combination of keywords: “Physical Exercise AND Breast Cancer AND Quality of Life.” Based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, seven studies published after 2014 were included in the review. Results: The seven analyzed studies implemented various exercise programs, most commonly aerobic training, resistance training, or combinations of both, often supplemented with additional components such as balance training or dance. Programming duration ranged from 12 to 36 weeks, with exercise performed two to three times per week. Five studies demonstrated statistically significant improvements in quality of life in the experimental groups compared with control groups, while one study reported a positive trend despite the absence of statistical significance. Discussion and conclusion: The review showed that physical exercise significantly improves quality of life in patients with breast cancer by reducing fatigue, pain, and other symptoms and by enhancing physical, emotional, and social functioning during and after treatment.
