Abstract

Background: Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by positive and negative symptoms, with antipsychotics effectively addressing the former but less so the latter. Recent studies suggest that physical exercise may help alleviate negative and cognitive symptoms, though its role is not well established.Objective: This review examines the role of physical exercise as a complementary intervention in the psychosocial rehabilitation of individuals with schizophrenia.Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted, focusing on research exploring the effects of various exercise types on psychiatric symptoms, cognitive function, and physical health in individuals with schizophrenia.Results: Physical exercise was found to improve cognitive function, reduce negative symptoms, and mitigate the metabolic side effects of antipsychotic medications. Neurobiological changes, such as increased neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity, were also observed, contributing to better mental health and quality of life. Aerobic and anaerobic exercises were particularly effective in reducing psychiatric symptoms and enhancing social integration.Conclusion: Physical exercise offers significant benefits in schizophrenia care and should be integrated into multidisciplinary treatment strategies. Future research should focus on optimizing exercise protocols and assessing their long-term clinical impact.

Abstract

Introduction: Cancer causes a significant physical and emotional burden, not only for patients, but also for caregivers. Caregiver’s burden is associated with caring for a chronically ill family member, which would increase if role tensions and concerns related to cancer are high and/or if they are in poor physical and emotional health, such as depression or anxiety. This study aims to determine the relationship between depression and anxiety with the burden of caregivers of cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.Method: A cross-sectional study with consecutive sampling involving caregiver of cancer patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The sample filled out the DASS-21 and ZBI questionnaires to determine the degree of depression, anxiety, and caregiving burden. The relationship between variables was obtained using the Spearman test.Results: From 30 caregivers of cancer patients who received chemotherapy, 3 experienced mild depression, 1 experienced moderate depression, 7 experienced severe depression, and 2 experienced very severe depression. While 5 experienced mild anxiety, 3 experienced moderate anxiety, 4 experienced severe anxiety, and 5 experienced very severe anxiety. ZBI showed 18 with little or no burden, 3 with mild to moderate burden, 4 with moderate to severe burden, and 5 with severe burden. There is a significant correlation between the degree of depression and anxiety with the burden of caring for cancer patients who receive chemotherapy (p less than 0,001).Conclusion: Depression and anxiety are associated with the burden of caring for cancer patients who receive chemotherapy due to the tension and worry related to cancer with various symptoms and chemotherapy side effects.
