“…14 An Acceptability Questionnaire was assessed at the end of week 6 (post-intervention) and was analogous to other studies with a 15-item questionnaire developed by the research team with a Flesch-Kincaid reading grade level of 6. Our goal was an average positive acceptability score of 4 (scale 0-6, 6 = highest acceptability).…”

“…Research suggests that light exercise may improve functioning and QOL and may be an alternative to higher intensity exercise programs for deconditioned populations with co-morbid conditions such as the NSCLC population. 14-17 Also, no exercise intervention studies for the post-surgical NSCLC population have utilized fatigability to measure the effectiveness of a fatigue intervention. It is critical to understand how effective an exercise intervention is by understanding its effect on fatigue when a patient is subjected to a given level of exertion.…”

“…14,15 This research addresses the National Cancer Institute recommendations for high-priority research focused on overcoming barriers and the implementation of strategies to increase uptake and effect size of interventions such as exercise to promote CRF self-management. 24 To date, the eligibility criteria for exercise interventions in post-surgical NSCLC patients have excluded much of the NSCLC post-surgical population by excluding patients with common comorbid conditions.…”

Background Fatigue remains a prevalent and debilitating symptom in persons with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Exercise has been shown to be effective in reducing fatigue; yet interventions are limited for post-surgical NSCLC patients. To date, while surgery is offered as a standard curative treatment for NSCLC, no formal guidelines exist for post-surgical rehabilitation. Objective This study focuses on the design and testing of a post-surgical intervention for NSCLC patients to promote perceived self-efficacy for fatigue self-management targeting cancer-related fatigue (CRF) severity and its associated fatigability through exercise. Interventions/ Methods A two-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) was used to examine the impact of a 6-week rehabilitative CRF self-management exercise intervention on 37 NSCLC participants compared with 35 control group participants receiving usual care from diagnosis to 6 weeks post-surgical hospital discharge. Results We exceeded goals for recruitment (66%), retention (97%), adherence (93%), and acceptability. Our 6-week exercise intervention demonstrated preliminary efficacy in significantly reducing CRF severity and fatigability as compared to usual care, with mean CRF levels restored to levels lower than pre-surgery. Likewise, the exercise group's functional performance (physical and mental health scores) exceeded usual care. Further, no adverse events were reported; participants had a mean age of 67 and a mean of 8 comorbid conditions. Conclusions An exercise intervention for post-surgical NSCLC patients is feasible, safe, and highly acceptable showing positive changes in CRF self-management. Implications for Practice To advance practice, testing of the effectiveness of this health-promoting self-management exercise intervention in a larger-scale RCT.

In this paper, we will first discuss the incidence of lung cancer in Turkey and the world, along with the incidence of comorbidities and postoperative complications. Further, we will describe the preventive role of physical therapy in operated patients, its role in postoperative complications, its effect in early mobilization, and its effect on early-stage postoperative complications. Finally, we will discuss the benefits of exercise training, in hospital physical therapy approaches for patients with advanced lung cancer, the effects of exercise training, and the difficulties in the implementation of these measures.
