“…A systematic review found that physical activity interventions based on behavior change theories were effective for improving physical activity among breast cancer patients. 69 For example, a pre-post study of 20 breast cancer survivors with overweight or obesity found a 3-month wellness program with 4 coaching calls was effective for improving physical activity, dietary habits, and quality of life (physical well-being, breast cancer-specific concerns) and resulted in weight loss in 40% of participants. Participants felt the coach was essential to success, due to ongoing encouragement, accountability, and setting and achieving small goals.…”

Introduction: Weight gain is common after breast cancer. Yoga, mindfulness meditation, and acupuncture may assist with managing weight. However, evidence on effectiveness is limited. This study assessed the feasibility and acceptability of recruiting for and implementing a randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating these interventions as adjuncts to lifestyle interventions (diet and exercise) for weight management in women with breast cancer. Methods: Qualitative study involving virtual focus groups or semi-structured interviews. Participants were recruited via email invitation from a breast cancer consumer organization and breast cancer center in Australia. Eligible participants had received treatment for breast cancer, and were fluent in English. A purposive sample of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) participants was also recruited. Focus groups and interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analyzed using thematic analysis with the constant comparison method. Results: Emails were sent to 1415 women of which 37 provided data in 5 focus groups and 1 semi-structured interview, including 1 focus group (n = 6) with only women from CALD backgrounds. Yoga and mindfulness meditation were perceived as feasible and acceptable for weight management, but acupuncture was seen to be too invasive to be acceptable. A focus on wellness rather than weight reduction, flexible program delivery, trusted advice, consideration of participant burden and benefit, and peer-support were key factors perceived to increase feasibility and acceptability. Conclusions: Yoga and mindfulness meditation are acceptable and useful adjuncts to lifestyle interventions for weight management after breast cancer. This research places end-users at the forefront of trial design, and will inform future trials using these interventions for weight management and improving health and wellbeing after breast cancer.

“…Intervention settings in our reviews included studies that included group, one on one, home, clinic or research-setting, and center-based. Most reviews included studies that were mainly delivered in home settings [ 9 , 15 , 19 , 20 , 23 - 25 , 27 - 29 , 38 ]. Some reviews that delivered in a variety of settings included a combination of supervised and home-based exercise, supervised combined with unsupervised [ 14 , 16 , 19 , 26 , 30 ].…”

Purpose Exercise is the core element of rehabilitation for cancer patients. However, most of the patients’ exercise levels failed to meet the indicators recommended by the guidelines or even decreased. Therefore, this umbrella review aims to provide an overview of review articles addressing the evidence of interventions to promote physical activity behavior change and increase physical activity among cancer patients. Methods We searched nine databases from inception to 12 May 2022 to obtain systematic reviews and meta-analyses of interventions to promote physical activity among cancer patients. The AMSTAR-2 was used for the quality assessment. Results Twenty-six individual systematic reviews including 13 studies performed meta-analyses. A total of 16 studies’ designs were all in randomized controlled trial. Most reviews included studies that were mainly delivered in home settings. The most frequent and mean duration of the interventions was 12 weeks. Interventions mainly included electronic, wearable health technology-based, behavior change techniques (BCTs), and theory-based strategies. Conclusions Electronic, wearable health technology-based, BCTs, and theory-based interventions were effective and feasible in promoting physical activity in cancer survivors. Clinical practitioners should take corresponding intervention measures according to the characteristics of patients in different groups. Implications for cancer survivors Future research may benefit cancer survivors by more comprehensively applying electronic, wearable health technology-based, BCTs, and theory-based interventions.

“…Behavior change technique training is available online in a self-paced program (BCT Taxonomy v1 Online Training, 2021). Coding of intervention techniques is possible by analyzing the description of interventions and identifying their active components (Liu et al, 2021). After completing the BCT taxonomy v1 online training, the primary author evaluated the description of the interventions provided in each article to code behavior change techniques.…”

“…Behavior change techniques used in exercise interventions have been explored broadly in the exercise oncology literature (Finne et al, 2018; Grimmett et al, 2019; Liu et al, 2021; Turner et al, 2018), including interventions for patients with breast, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancer. Behavior change techniques associated with increased adherence to exercise behavior include action planning, social support (unspecified), prompts, reduce prompts, graded tasks, nonspecific reward, and social reward (Finne et al, 2018; Grimmett et al, 2019).…”

Exercise Interventions During Hospitalization for Stem Cell Transplantation: An Integrative Review

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Exercise interventions may influence adverse effects experienced during hospitalization for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Adherence to exercise interventions is challenging. This review aimed to synthesize the literature to identify exercise interventions implemented during hospitalization for HSCT, including intervention characteristics, adherence, barriers and facilitators, and behavior change techniques using the behavior change technique taxonomy. A review of PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Embase was completed. The sample included 19 studies. Exercise interventions demonstrated heterogeneity in prescription components, definitions, measures, and reporting of adherence. Barriers and facilitators of adherence to exercise were reported infrequently. Behavior change techniques most frequently used in studies reporting adherence rates of ≥75% included instruction on how to perform the behavior, graded tasks, and adding objects to the environment. The heterogeneity in definitions and measures of adherence limit forming conclusions to identify barriers and facilitators and determine which behavior change techniques increase adherence to exercise during HSCT.
