“…In fact, the TPB has been applied to a large variety of patient behaviors—physical activity; risk-related, dietary, and screening behaviors; sexual behaviors such as condom use and other contraceptive behaviors; alcohol consumption; and smoking cessation 4. The disease populations examined using the theory have also varied and include patients with heart disease,9 cancer,10 diabetes,11 and kidney disease 12. Moreover, the TPB has been used to explain many nursing actions, including hand hygiene,5 patient safety-related behaviors,6 use of filter needles,7 and use of clinical guidelines 8.…”

“…[2][3][4] In the nursing context, the TPB has been employed to explain nursing actions such as hand hygiene, 5 patient safetyrelated behaviors, 6 use of filter needles, 7 and use of clinical guidelines. 8 In addition, the theory has been applied to patients with various diseases such as heart disease, 9 cancer, 10 diabetes, 11 kidney disease, 12 and mental disorders, 13 as well as to individuals of all ages, including children 10 and the elderly. 11 Therefore, the TPB can be considered valuable for explaining and changing patient behaviors and nursing actions within the nursing domain.…”

The Theory of Planned Behavior was developed to explain human behaviors. The theory has been broadly applied to health-related behaviors in nursing science but has not been examined in depth based on a critical nursing framework. This article systematically analyzes and evaluates the theory based on Fawcett and DeSanto-Madeya's 2013 framework. The theory reflects nursing metaparadigm concepts and has both social and theoretical significance as well as pragmatic adequacy, and its testability is supported by abundant empirical evidence. However, the theory's internal consistency and clarity could be improved with use of consistent terms for its concepts and relationships.

“…According to the TPB, attitudes towards the behaviour, subjective norm and perceived behaviour control can gage the readiness of an individual to engage in that behaviour [20]. Studies have provided preliminary data that support the TPB's utility in the pediatric oncology population [12,21]. Furthermore, speci cally to classify barriers and facilitators, we used the constructs of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) [22], arranged across ve domains (i.e., intervention characteristics, outer setting, inner setting, characteristics of individuals, process).…”

“…As reviewed by Demark-Wahnefried and colleagues [11], there is developing literature on lifestyle interventions in pediatric oncology that focus on health behaviours such as diet, exercise, tobacco control and sun protection. Health behaviours in are known to be to negatively affected by cancer diagnosis and treatments [12][13][14], but positively impacted by HP interventions [15,16]. A recent review provided evidence that complex behavioural interventions targeting physical activity and/or nutrition in pediatric oncology are feasible and potentially bene cial to improve the health behaviours and outcomes of children affected by cancer and survivors [17].…”

Purpose. Health promotion (HP) programs represent a promising avenue to address the prevention or mitigation of adverse effects of childhood cancer. However, we do not know the most effective way to promote healthy behaviours in pediatric oncology or how families experience HP interventions during the very challenging time of going through childhood cancer. The purpose of this study was to analyse the perspectives of families affected by childhood cancer regarding their behaviour when participating in a HP program. Methods. We undertook a cross-sectional qualitative study using semi-structured interviews. Individual interviews were conducted with parents and adolescents sampled within a larger study. Data was analyzed using thematic analysis. Results. Participants reported many barriers to participation including organizational barriers, physical or mental health issues and lack of interest or need. Key facilitators included tailoring of the interventions to individuals’ needs and social support. Most participants reported that the program had a positive impact on their health behaviour practices during cancer treatment and about half mentioned having the intention to modify their health behaviour practices in the long-term. For future implementation, participants suggested adding more educational activities, increasing physical activity sessions and improving the coordination with clinical activities. Conclusion. Participants’ and families’ perspectives allow researchers and clinicians to gain greater insights into how to shape HP programs that will be engaging and effective in promoting healthy behaviours in this population.

“…Survival rates of above 80% for high-income countries are reported (21). Diagnosis and treatment result in short-and long-term reductions in physical activity and fitness (1,6,25). The largest reductions occur during treatment, but significant long-term impairments are prevalent in survivors, as well (1,4).…”

The diagnosis of cancer as well as accompanying acute and late effects of treatment are influencing physical activity behavior of patients with childhood cancer and survivors. Research has shown that a pediatric cancer diagnosis is associated with impairments of physical performance, and function, as well as reduced physical, and psychosocial, health conditions. From an ethical perspective, lack of knowledge of health care providers, lack of physical activity promotion, and environmental, and structural barriers to physical activity restrict children’s right to move and actively engage in physical activities. Network ActiveOncoKids is a German-wide initiative with the main goal of enabling children, adolescents, and young adults with exercise opportunities during and after cancer treatment. Since the network’s foundation in 2012, Network ActiveOncoKids focuses on: (1) physical activity support for patients and families, (2) policy change to establish structures and guidelines, and (3) generating evidence through scientific projects. The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of Network ActiveOncoKids structure, aims, and projects. This topical review will highlight the network’s structural development, research work, and implementation progress of exercise programs for patients with pediatric cancer and survivors, link international collaborations, and discuss future directions.
