“…43,44 AYA survivors must navigate these tasks while at the same time integrating the impact of their cancer diagnosis and treatment, including the emotional, social, and physical late effects manifesting from diagnosis and treatment. 45,46 The dual challenges of normal adolescence and young adulthood layered with the physical and psychosocial stressors inherent to the cancer journey likely influence AYA survivors' developmental trajectories, including their establishment of healthy lifestyle behaviors such as exercise. 47 Both for healthy youth and particularly AYAs, an age-related decline in physical activity begins in preadolescence and continues into adulthood.…”

Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) diagnosed with cancer are at increased risk for current and future health problems and premature death. Given the known risks for increased mortality and morbidity, fostering the development of exercise behaviors that may target the specific late effects experienced by AYA cancer survivors is crucial for healthy aging. Exercise is particularly important in the mitigation of late effects as it alters metabolic pathways that ultimately influence the development of chronic diseases associated with cancer treatment in AYAs. Despite the importance of exercise, a large proportion of AYA survivors do not meet recommended guidelines for exercise. The current review summarizes the beneficial effects of exercise in AYA survivors, evaluates strategies utilized in interventions that have been developed to address exercise engagement, and provides recommendations for psychosocial strategies on how to improve these behaviors in this population. A total of nine empirical articles examining exercise interventions in AYAs with a history of cancer were included for review. While several exercise strategies appear promising, more research is needed to evaluate long-term influence of strategies on exercise engagement, as well as the interactions these strategies have on AYA exercise maintenance and health outcomes as they continue into adulthood. Future interventions should evaluate key psychosocial strategies to increase both short-and long-term exercise adherence as well as overall health benefits.

“…A diagnosis of cancer presents a range of physical, financial and psychosocial challenges for young adults and their families [2,3,4], including disruptions to education / career [5], family life [6], self-esteem / identity [7], peer and sexual relationships and body image [8,9,10]. There is also a need to manage the side effects of treatment, both short and long term, and the possible impacts on future fertility [11,12,13].…”

Background: A diagnosis of cancer in young adulthood can pose many different and unique challenges for individuals. Provision of adequate and appropriate information, care and support for teenagers and young adults around the time of diagnosis is central to their healthcare experience going forward. Appropriate and accessible information provision is critical to ensure young people with cancer feel equipped and empowered to make decisions about, and be involved in, their treatment and recovery throughout their experience; a concept known as prehabilitation. As digital interventions and resources to support TYA with cancer are an increasingly desirable part of healthcare provision, this study will focus on the development of an age and population appropriate (e)lectronic-prehabilitation system of care.

“…Il est reconnu dans la littérature que l'hospitalisation et les procédures médicales invasives associées au traitement du cancer entraînent de nombreux défis pour un adolescent, notamment un sentiment de perte de contrôle dans l'environnement et une diminution de l'estime de soi (Kyritsi et al, 2007;Evan et Zeltzer, 2006;McCaffrey, 2006). D'autres études ont montré que la qualité de vie chez ces adolescents est significativement plus basse que celle de leurs pairs en santé (Wu et al, 2007) et que 20 à 29 % des adolescents traités pour un cancer présentent un syndrome de stress post-traumatique une fois l'hospitalisation terminée (Kazak et al, 2010;Kwak et al, 2013).…”

Positive developments were observed in 2/7 participants in self-efficacy, in 3/7 on positive emotions, 2/7 on negative emotions, and 3/7 regarding their self-concept. The adolescents' comments highlighted an overall positive experience marked by physical and/or psychological well-being. Conclusion: These results promote the implementation of new research on the effects of interactive music therapy interventions with adolescents who are hospitalized in Hematology-Oncology by considering the individual trajectories in the groups concerned.
