超过一半的年轻成年癌症幸存者不符合身体活动（PA）指南。PA干预可以提高年轻成年癌症幸存者的健康和生活质量。然而，很少有运动干预措施已被设计和测试，在这一人群中。这项研究评估了为期12周的基于Facebook的干预（FITNET）的可行性和初步疗效，该干预旨在与基于Facebook的自助比较（SC）条件相比，增加中度至剧烈强度的PA。年轻的成年癌症幸存者（n = 86）被随机分配到FITNET或SC组。所有参与者都被要求在基线和12周后完成自我管理的在线问卷。77%的参与者完成了干预后评估，大多数参与者报告按预期使用干预组件。两组的参与者都将该计划推荐给其他年轻的成年癌症幸存者（FITNET：46.9% vs. SC：61.8%; p = 0.225）。在12周内，两组自我报告的每周中度至剧烈PA分钟数均增加（FITNET：67分钟/周，p = 0.009 vs. SC：46分钟/周，p = 0.045），组间无显著差异。与SC组相比，FITNET组的光PA增加量为135分钟/周（p = 0.032），FITNET组报告了随时间推移的显著体重减轻（-2.1 kg，p = 0.004;组间p = 0.083）。基于Facebook的干预方法显示出增加年轻成年癌症幸存者PA的潜力。社交网站可能是一个可行的方式，为年轻的成年癌症幸存者接受健康信息和支持，以促进PA和健康的行为。
Over half of young adult cancer survivors do not meet physical activity (PA) guidelines. PA interventions can enhance health and quality of life among young adult cancer survivors. However, few exercise interventions have been designed and tested in this population. This study evaluated the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a 12-week, Facebook-based intervention (FITNET) aimed at increasing moderate-to-vigorous intensity PA compared to a Facebook-based self-help comparison (SC) condition. Young adult cancer survivors (n=86) were randomly assigned to the FITNET or SC group. All participants were asked to complete self-administered online questionnaires at baseline and after 12 weeks. Seventy-seven percent of participants completed post-intervention assessments, and most participants reported using intervention components as intended. Participants in both groups would recommend the program to other young adult cancer survivors (FITNET: 46.9% vs. SC: 61.8%; p=0.225). Over 12 weeks, both groups increased self-reported weekly minutes of moderate-to-vigorous PA (FITNET: 67 minutes/week, p=0.009 vs. SC: 46 minutes/week, p=0.045), with no significant difference between groups. Increases in light PA were 135 minutes/week greater in the FITNET group relative to the SC group (p=0.032), and the FITNET group reported significant weight loss over time (−2.1 kg, p=0.004; p=0.083 between groups). Facebook-based intervention approaches demonstrated potential for increasing PA in young adult cancer survivors. Social networking sites may be a feasible way for young adult cancer survivors to receive health information and support to promote PA and healthy behaviors.
