Abstract

Introduction: Exergames have been successfully utilized in healthcare, namely
in rehabilitation care. The present paper, authored by individuals who are aware of the potential of this technological resource, is intended to contribute to the construction of a rehabilitation nursing program that incorporates exergames for patients that have undergone breast cancer surgery. Methodology: We conducted a Scoping review study. The research was performed in the following databases; MEDLINE® (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online), CINAHL® (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), SPORTDiscus, SCOPUS,
SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials e PEDRo (Physiotherapy
Evidence Database) identifying all studies published by January 31, 2022, according
with Joanna Briggs Institute´s and PRISMA-ScR´s guidelines. Results: Thirteen
articles, published between 2015 and 2021, were selected. In total, there were 441
participants. Platforms, such as Xbox and Nintendo Wii, that are compatible with
games that involve motion, were the most used. The duration of the intervention
strategies ranged from 15 days to 12 weeks. The majority of the interventions occurred in the late postoperative recovery phase. Intervention with exergames generated superior or similar results to traditional rehabilitation in terms of pain, upper limb functionality, range of motion, fatigue and quality of life. Conclusion: The present Scoping review emphasises the positive impact of the use of exergames in the rehabilitation of individuals with breast cancer. However, it is pertinent to conduct a greater number of scientific studies in this area that allow determining the type of game, time and frequency of intervention that optimize the level of effectiveness.
