The experimental group did the aerobic interval training and pedaling on the ergometer bicycle with 65 to 80 percent of their maximum leg power for three times a week during the eight weeks. The blood samples were prepared in two pre-test and post-test steps to measure the interleukin-6  and interleukin-10 serum levels through ELISA method.

Results: Statistical analysis showed that after eight weeks of aerobic interval training, interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 serum levels, related to the experimental group had no significant difference in comparison with control group (p>0.05).

Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of education based on the self-efficacy model on coping strategies and hope in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Methods: This study was conducted on 62 breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The intervention group received four training sessions on chemotherapy side effects and management strategies based on the self-efficacy model, while the control group received routine care without additional training. Demographic questionnaires, the Billings and Moss Coping Skills Questionnaire, and the Schneider Hope Scale were completed by both groups immediately before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests.
Results: The average hope in the intervention and control groups was low before and after the intervention. It remained low in the control group but showed a significant increase in the intervention group (P < 0.05). Statistical tests showed that there is a significant relationship between the average total life expectancy and their age, economy and education (P<0.05). Before the intervention, both groups demonstrated low use of coping strategies. After the educational intervention, the control group maintained low usage while, the intervention group showed substantially increased use of coping strategies.
Conclusions: Self-efficacy training intervention increased life expectancy and coping strategies in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
