“…Moreover, greater decreases in PA after diagnosis are observed among women who are treated with radiation and chemotherapy compared with women who undergo surgery only or who are treated with radiation only ( 10 ). Kinesiophobia is also common in cancer patients during chemotherapy with totally implantable venous access ports and it is closely related to the subjective experience of daily activities, which requires more attention and early intervention to reduce the potential adverse effects ( 55 ).…”

IntroductionLifestyle-associated factors like physical activity (PA) play an important role in cancer prevention and oncology treatment outcomes. The aim of the study is to investigate the level of kinesiophobia (fear of movement) in breast cancer (BC) patients undergoing surgical treatment depending on socio-demographic variables, lifestyle before cancer diagnosis, stage and type of BC and comorbidities.MethodsWe interviewed 285 women (132 patients from Greater Poland Cancer Center – age: 55.7 ± 12.4; BMI: 26.7 ± 4.7 and 153 healthy women from control group – age: 49.0 ± 15.7; BMI: 25.7 ± 4.0) using Polish adaptation of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK).ResultsResearch results show that women with BC suffer from kinesiophobia (>37 points) signi!cantly. Approximately 3/4 of the surveyed women with BC did not know the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations regarding the weekly dose of PA for healthy people and for people with cancer. Before cancer diagnosis more than a half of women (60%) performed PA in accordance with WHO recommendations. 7% less women performed PA during oncology treatment. Almost a half of patients are not physically active during cancer treatment and 1/5 of the respondents declared that they do not know yet if they will be physically active after oncology treatment. The level of kinesiophobia in BC women with comorbidities was the same as in the group of BC women without comorbidities. However, the highest levels of fear of movement have been observed among women with BC suffering also from osteoporosis, obesity and diabetes. In general, higher levels of kinesiophobia were reported among women in less advanced stages of the disease. There were no differences in the level of kinesiophobia depending on the type of BC (hormonally dependent luminal cancers vs. other types). The level of kinesiophobia did not differ between women who were physically active before BC diagnosis and women who were not. In terms of socio- demographic variables, we found one direct association between the level of kinesiophobia (pain) with age – the greater age, the higher level of pain kinesiophobia.DiscussionResearch on fear of movement in female oncology requires further research (including also chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy and hormonal therapy) and in order to effectively eliminate hypokinetic attitudes at every stage of cancer treatment.

“… 9–11 What is more, previous research showed that kinesiophobia, the fear of limb movement after TIVAD implantation, was common in patients with cancer, and it was closely related to the subjective experience of daily activities. 12 But the specific experience of patients with the upper arm port and possible reasons behind related behaviour are less well understood. We should pay attention to the psychological experience, emotional changes and coping styles of patients with cancer during indwelling time of the upper arm port in order to carry out appropriate interventions.…”

ObjectivesThe upper arm infusion ports have been proven to be advanced and safe, but the experience from the perspective of patients is lacking. This study explored the indwelling experience and coping strategies of upper arm infusion ports in patients with cancer.DesignQualitative exploratory study.SettingThis study was conducted between May 2021 and August 2021 at a level III-A general hospital in Shanghai, China.ParticipantsThe participants, who are patients with cancer implanted with the upper arm infusion ports, included 10 women and 6 men, and the average age was 54.4±8.3 years old.MethodsData were selected from semistructured in-depth interviews and analysed by thematic analysis.ResultsThere were 10 descriptive topics and 4 analytical topics in 2 parts. The indwelling experience includes positive experience (treatment benefit, life convenience) and negative experience (physical discomfort, social anxiety, psychological distress). Coping strategies include emotional-focused strategies (self-acceptance, avoidance and self-protection) and problem-focused strategies (information seeking, functional exercise and remove as soon as possible).ConclusionThe infusion port in the upper arm is beneficial to the safety and quality of life of patients with cancer. At the same time, there are challenges in physical, psychological and social adaptation. Patients respond with some measures, but obstacles may arise during implementation.

“…However, patients undergoing infusion port implantation are prone to fear of resuming daily life activities. Patients frequently experience kinesiophobia due to local pain, foreign body sensation, and other discomforts caused by the implants [ 4 ], which in turn exacerbates their anxiety and slows the recovery of postoperative physical functions [ 5 ]. Research on kinesiophobia in China is still in its infancy, and the relevant literature mostly focuses on lumbar spine diseases and arthroplasty [ 6 , 7 ].…”

The number of patients with malignant tumors is increasing in China, and venous access ports have unique advantages for chemotherapy. Currently, China’s research on venous access port-mediated kinesiophobia is still in the developing stage. Using the combination of subjective words and freedom words, and based on literature traceability methods, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, Vipp, Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM), Web of Science, The COCHRANE LIBRARY, Embase, and PubMed were searched. Relevant articles published from the construction of the database to October 30, 2023, were identified. Based on the many articles and analyses, the methods of assessing kinesiophobia in malignant tumors patients using venous access port, the related influencing factors and the preventive and intervention strategies were collated. We found 33 articles examining kinesiophobia in oncology patients, of which 4 were specifically conducted on patients with malignant tumors using VAPs or PICCs. The relevant preventive and therapeutic experiences regarding kinesiophobia in cancer patients with VAP still need improvement. Nursing staff can use assessment tools such as the Tampa Rating Scale for Kinesiophobia, the Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire, and the Cancer Fatigue Scale to reasonably and effectively assess kinesiophobia among patients with malignant tumors who use VAPs. Attention should be paid to the mechanisms and roles of demographic factors, pain and foreign body sensation, cancer fatigue, pain management strategies, and other factors influencing kinesiophobia. This study provides advice to nursing staff for the management of VAP. Such considerations may reduce the complications of kinesiophobia and improve the quality of life of patients.
