越来越多的证据表明，身体活动（PA）可以改善癌症幸存者的生活质量（QOL）并减少疲劳。研究人员或医疗保健提供者已经向癌症人群提供了PA干预措施。作为传播先前测试的PA干预的第一步，7名美国癌症协会康复志愿者（平均年龄= 57.4岁）接受了培训，以向25名乳腺癌幸存者（平均年龄= 52.9岁，56%为2期癌症，自诊断以来平均3.3年）提供基于电话的干预。采用单组设计。基于理论的干预包括每周12次电话，以鼓励参与者采用中等强度的PA。在基线、12周和24周时评估参与者的PA、QOL、情绪和疲劳。收集了干预可行性和初步效果的数据。该干预措施是可行的（平均10.7/12个电话被接听）并且志愿者可以接受。在12周时，参与者的PA显著增加，疲劳，QOL和活力改善。24周后效果得以维持。这项试点研究表明，它是可行的，由训练有素的志愿者提供基于电话的PA干预乳腺癌幸存者，并有积极的影响幸存者的PA行为和心理结果。版权所有（C）2007约翰威利父子有限公司
There is growing evidence that physical activity (PA) can improve quality of life (QOL) and reduce fatigue in cancer survivors. Research staff or healthcare providers have delivered PA interventions to cancer populations. As a first step to dissemination of a previously tested PA intervention, seven American Cancer Society Reach to Recovery volunteers (mean age = 57.4 years) were trained to deliver the telephone-based intervention to 25 breast cancer survivors (mean age = 52.9 years, 56% Stage 2 cancer, mean of 3.3 years since diagnosis). A single group design was used. The theory-based intervention consisted of 12 weekly calls to encourage participants to adopt moderate-intensity PA. Participants' PA, QOL, mood, and fatigue were assessed at baseline, 12, and 24 weeks. Data on intervention feasibility and preliminary effects were collected. The intervention was feasible (mean of 10.7 out of 12 calls were delivered) and acceptable to the volunteers. At 12 weeks, there were significant increases in participants' PA and improvements in fatigue, QOL, and vigor. Effects were maintained at 24 weeks. This pilot study demonstrated that it was feasible for trained volunteers to deliver a telephone-based PA intervention to breast cancer survivors, and there were positive effects on survivors' PA behavior and psychological outcomes.
