“…Time was nested within the model which included a random intercept if necessary based on the previous steps (Acock, 2013). Given the variability of levels and groups within levels, standardized fit indices have not yet been established for ML SEM as also noted in a recent study that employed this approach (Kenzik et al., 2018). However, traditional SEM fit criteria were tested for the baseline model.…”

Background Engaging in exercise behaviour regularly requires a repeated investment of resources to reap the health benefits. An individual’s self‐control resources, when performing a behaviour can be perceived as being recharged or depleted. The investigation on how self‐control beliefs resources predict exercise behaviour is very limited in the literature. The purpose of this study was to understand how self‐control beliefs predict exercise behaviour across time in a physical activity model. Methods Participants (N = 161) were a sample of adults recruited across twelve gyms and recreation centres in a large city. Participants completed surveys across five months. Data were analysed using a multilevel structural equation model with participants (level 2) nested within time (level 1). Results Behaviour was found to be a function of intention, habit, and planning. Specifically, planning moderated the intention‐behaviour relationship, where those who scored higher on planning engaged in more exercise. Self‐control beliefs functioned as a proximal predictor of autonomous motivation and predicted habit, and intention when accounting for total effects. Conclusions Self‐control beliefs played a pivotal role in supporting recognized exercise determinants. Exercise‐focussed interventions that help participants strengthen their beliefs as recharging and reduce depletion beliefs could be beneficial for promoting regular exercise.

“…Cancer survivors often rank fatigue as their primary concern. A weight-loss trial in breast cancer survivors found that improvements in vitality were primarily associated with increases in physical activity rather than changes in body mass index [134]. Regular physical activity may also improve nutritional and cardiac conditions.…”

Strategies to prevent anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity in cancer survivors

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Cancer diagnostics and therapies have improved steadily over the last few decades, markedly increasing life expectancy for patients at all ages. However, conventional and newer anti-neoplastic therapies can cause short-and long-term cardiotoxicity. The clinical implications of this cardiotoxicity become more important with the increasing use of cardiotoxic drugs. The implications are especially serious among patients predisposed to adverse cardiac effects, such as youth, the elderly, those with cardiovascular comorbidities, and those receiving additional chemotherapies or thoracic radiation. However, the optimal strategy for preventing and managing chemotherapyinduced cardiotoxicity remains unknown. The routine use of neurohormonal antagonists for cardioprotection is not currently justified, given the marginal benefits and associated adverse events, particularly with long-term use. The only United States Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency approved treatment for preventing anthracycline-related cardiomyopathy is dexrazoxane. We advocate administering dexrazoxane during cancer treatment to limit the cardiotoxic effects of anthracycline chemotherapy.

“…Previous studies on weight management in breast cancer patients have shed light on the experience of health promoting behaviors [17], self-care support [18], and appearance management [19]. In foreign countries, studies were conducted on breast cancer patients in relation to their knowledge, experience and attitude on oncogenes [20], experience of acute skin toxicity after breast cancer radiation treatment [21], survival experience [22], and fatigue experience [23].…”

In this study, an in-depth analysis of weight management experiences of breast cancer patients treated with tamoxifen is conducted, thereby providing basic data to help develop a multidimensional strategy to reduce recurrence and increase the survival rate of breast cancer patients. Study participants included nine breast cancer patients who were treated with tamoxifen at Kosin University Hospital and Saegyero Hospital in Busan Metropolitan City, Korea. This study employed the photovoice methodology. Participants described the need for family support and cooperation with weight management, provision of personalized weight management programs by medical institutions, provision of information on weight management programs by the community, and financial support for the weight management programs for breast cancer patients at the national level. This study emphasized the importance of weight management for breast cancer patients treated with tamoxifen and collected and analyzed vivid opinions of these patients using photos taken by them.
