“…(57) In this review, we only included studies that reported a quantifiable measure of patient-specific adherence. However, there were several studies we uncovered that explored other persons and factors that may influence patient adherence including speech-language pathologists,(58) nursing staff,(59) and the healthcare team. (60) Rosenvinge and Starke (2005) conducted a study where they trained health care team members and observed patient adherence to dysphagia recommendations before and after training.…”

“…The fitness center was easily accessible by public transportation, offered flexible hours of operation (including early mornings, evening, and weekend hours), and free parking. It is likely that this adherence rate may be more difficult to achieve in the clinical setting without this type of support in place [20]. The strongest predictor of exercise adherence for this trial was self-reported alcohol intake.…”

Excellent adherence to exercise was achieved in the trial despite high morbidity associated with HNC treatment. The high adherence achieved was likely due to the select and highly motivated sample of HNC survivors as well as to factors associated with trial design such as the support offered to participants. The findings of this trial need to be further explored and confirmed in a larger study that includes a more diverse sample of HNC survivors.

Using Orem's theory as the framework, two purposes guided the study: (a) to test the effectiveness of an audio-visual education program and behavioral contracting to promote self-care behaviors in managing radiation side effects and (b) to determine the extent to which low literacy affects self-care abilities. Seventy men diagnosed with prostate cancer participated in this experimental study. The nursing interventions of education and behavioral contracting significantly increased the self-care behaviors of men in managing radiation side effects. An increase in self-care behaviors was especially shown in men with low-literacy skills.
