ABSTRACT

Purpose:

To evaluate the use of wall-mounted prompts in facilitating physical activity (PA)-related discussions between individuals with cancer and oncology care providers.

Methods:

Individuals with cancer were approached to participate in a survey-based pre-post study. Half of participants (n = 100) completed a survey prior to installation of wall-mounted prompts in clinic while the other half (n = 100) completed a survey following installation of the prompts. Survey questions included content of PA-related discussion, satisfaction with PA education across treatment, and current PA level. The post-prompt survey also asked questions related to the prompt. Survey responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Chi-squared tests were performed to determine significance between timepoints.

Results:

One hundred participants completed the survey at each timepoint. A significant difference was found pre and post-prompt in the number of PA discussions occurring overall during care (p = 0.03). Some participants (53%) were satisfied with the PA education received during treatment. There was no significant difference in occurrence of PA discussion (p = 0.36) pre and post-prompt and no difference in PA behaviour was observed (p = 0.130).

Conclusions:

Wall-mounted prompts may be effective in increasing the frequency of PA-related discussions between individuals with cancer and their oncology team across treatment. Additional strategies, such as easy referral to rehabilitation professionals, are also needed to facilitate safe and effective PA behaviour during and after cancer treatments.
Objectif évaluer l'utilisation des messages muraux pour faciliter les discussions sur l'activité physique (AP) entre les personnes atteintes d'un cancer et les professionnels de la santé en oncologie. Méthodologie des personnes cancéreuses ont été invitées à participer à une étude avant-après par sondage. La moitié (n = 100) a rempli un sondage avant l'installation de messages muraux en clinique, tandis que l'autre moitié (n = 100) l'a rempli après l'installation de ces messages. Les questions du sondage incluaient le contenu des discussions liées à l'AP, la satisfaction envers l'éducation à l'AP tout au long du traitement et le taux d'AP actuelle. Le sondage avant-après comportait aussi des questions au sujet des messages. Les chercheurs ont analysé les réponses au sondage au moyen de statistiques descriptives et ont procédé à des tests du chi carré pour déterminer le caractère significatif entre chaque sondage. Résultats au total, 100 participants ont rempli chacun des sondages. Les chercheurs ont observé une différence significative avant et après les messages quant au nombre de discussions globales sur l'AP pendant les soins (p = 0,03). Certains participants (53 %) étaient satisfaits de l'éducation sur l'AP donnée pendant le traitement. Il n'y avait pas de différence significative quant à l'occurrence de discussions sur l'AP (p = 0,36) avant et après le message ni quant aux comportements relatifs à l'AP (p = 0,130).

Conclusions:

les messages muraux peuvent contribuer à accroître la fréquence des discussions sur l'AP entre les personnes atteintes du cancer et leur équipe d'oncologie tout au long du traitement. D'autres stratégies, comme une orientation facile vers des professionnels de la réadaptation, s'imposent également pour favoriser un comportement sécuritaire et efficace à l'égard de l'AP pendant et après les traitements en oncologie.
