运动已被公认为是癌症幸存者的有效支持性护理干预措施，但参与率很低。了解癌症幸存者的具体运动咨询和规划偏好可能有助于设计有效的干预措施。在这项研究中，我们调查了386名子宫内膜癌幸存者的运动偏好。参与者完成了一份问卷，其中包括过去的锻炼行为，锻炼偏好以及医疗和人口统计信息的测量。一些关键的发现如下：（a）76.9%的参与者说他们有兴趣或可能有兴趣做一个锻炼计划，（B）81.7%的人认为他们能够或可能能够真正做一个锻炼计划。参与者还表示，步行是他们的首选活动（68.6%），中度运动是他们的首选强度（61.1%）。Logistic回归分析显示，符合公共卫生运动指南，超重或肥胖，接受辅助治疗，自诊断以来的月数，收入，婚姻状况和教育水平都影响运动偏好。这些结果表明，子宫内膜癌幸存者有独特的运动偏好，这是由一些人口统计学和医学变量调节。这些发现可能对子宫内膜癌幸存者的临床和基于人群的运动干预的设计和实施具有影响。
Exercise has gained recognition as an effective supportive care intervention for cancer survivors, yet participation rates are low. Knowledge of the specific exercise counseling and programming preferences of cancer survivors may be useful for designing effective interventions. In this study, we examined the exercise preferences of 386 endometrial cancer survivors. Participants completed a questionnaire that included measures of past exercise behavior, exercise preferences, and medical and demographic information. Some key findings were as follows: (a) 76.9% of participants said they were interested or might be interested in doing an exercise program and (b) 81.7% felt they were able or likely able to actually do an exercise program. Participants also indicated that walking was their preferred activity (68.6%) and moderate exercise was their preferred intensity (61.1%). Logistic regression analyses showed that meeting public health guidelines for exercise, being overweight or obese, receiving adjuvant treatment, months since diagnosis, income, marital status, and level of education all influenced exercise preferences. These results suggest that endometrial cancer survivors have unique exercise preferences that are moderated by a number of demographic and medical variables. These findings may have implications for the design and implementation of clinical and population-based exercise interventions for endometrial cancer survivors.
