Abstract
Purpose: Although there are many reported benefits of physical activity for patients with cancer (e.g., improving quality of life), many patients with cancer do not meet the recommendations of physical activity guidelines. The amount of physical activity declines after diagnosis of cancer. This study aimed to clarify the elements that contribute engagement in regular moderate-or-higher-level intensity of physical activity (MHPA), based on the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA), among patients with cancer. Methods: Two web surveys were conducted among cancer outpatients, asking them to respond to a questionnaire. Participants provided information regarding their demographics, physical activity, purpose, advantages, disadvantages, barriers, triggers, and need for support for regular MHPA. Results: Categories were obtained for purposes, advantages, disadvantages, barriers, triggers, and support needs for regular MHPA. For example, the support they considered necessary to regularly engage in MHPA were developed 9 categories, such as Improving the environment, Support for the implementation of PA (interpersonal), and Reducing the burden. Women and younger patients provided more statements about reducing their burden; younger patients also mentioned on improving the environment more among those who did not engage in MHPA. Additionally, patients with cancer who provided statements about interpersonal support reported higher barriers to physical activity. Conclusions: These findings will contribute to the development of a scale to measure the components of the HAPA on physical activity in patients with cancer. In addition, it will help develop a support system that promotes engagement in regular MHPA.
