Brief Title: Interventional Study on DEterminants and Factors of Physical ACtivity After Treatments in Oncology
Official Title: Interventional Study on DEterminants and Factors of Physical ACtivity After Treatments in Oncology
Study ID: NCT05354882
Brief Summary: Benefits of physical activity (PA) as supportive care in cancer have been widely demonstrated by the scientific community. However, survivors who have completed chemo-radio-immunotherapy treatments doesn't achieve PA recommendations on average. This reinforces the need to identify factors influencing PA level, and to propose a multilevel model (macro-, meso-, micro-level) to understand better what facilitates the adoption and maintenance of active behaviour and what hinders it. To date, there is no ecological model in France explaining this behaviour in the post-treatment phase of breast, colorectal, prostate, and lung cancers. From this initial model, we seek to design an educational and motivational intervention in PA. Thus, the investigators propose to test the feasibility of implementing an individualized program to increase and maintain level of physical activity and to decrease sedentary behaviours in physically inactive cancer survivors. This program is based through and identification of barriers and facilitators of an active lifestyle among this population.
Detailed Description: In 2008, 3 million French people had experienced cancer in the last 15 years, compared to 18 million in 2022. Post-treatment marks a break with the intensive care pathway. It frequently leads to changes in the lifestyle of these patients. During this period, behaviors conducive to maintaining their state of health remain important. Among these behaviors, Physical Activity (PA) is an integral part and brings many post-treatment benefits. Despite the evidence of PA benefits in adult cancer survivors who have completed chemo-radio-immunotherapy treatments, the majority of those with good prognosis cancer are insufficiently active. Patient survival tends to increase by 20% thanks to scientific progress and the improvement of cancer management. At the same time, patients experience adverse effects for an extended period after cancer treatment. It would take an average of 10 to 15 years to note a decrease in the psychological, physical, professional, and socio-economic repercussions of cancer. These repercussions do not totally disappear over time. We have a particular interest in this post-treatment period, where the end of treatments marks a break within the "clinical pathway". The patient then joins the "care pathway" where he/she needs to have an autonomous management of his/her health behaviour. The study of factors - clinical, psychological, cognitive, behavioural, social, or even linked to the clinical pathway and the geographical environment - involved in regular PA practice with breast, prostate, colorectal, or lung cancer survivors, would allow us an overview of what shapes a complex behaviour like PA. In view of these needs to better understand and act on the complex behaviour of active lifestyle, the main objective of our research is to design, implement, and evaluate an individualised educational and motivational program, constructed from an explanatory ecological model. The educational and motivational program thus conceived will help in supporting good prognosis and physically inactive cancer survivors (breast, colorectal, prostate, or lung cancers) in initiation and maintenance of their PA. Deployment of this interventional approach will provide more support to cancer survivors at the end of their treatment at a national level while considering the specificities of healthcare fields. To consider these variety, transferability criteria will be taken into account. Thus, the investigators propose to test the feasibility of implementing an individualized program to increase and maintain level of physical activity and to decrease sedentary behaviours in physically inactive cancer survivors. This program is based through and identification of barriers and facilitators of an active lifestyle among this population.
