Leisure-Time Physical Activity in People with Advanced Cancer: Exploring the Perspectives of Adults Diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer and of Oncology Physiotherapists in Canada

Shallwani, Shirin Mehdi 23 September 2022 (has links)
Background: Despite improving survival rates, people with advanced cancer experience high symptom burden, functional challenges, and negative impacts upon their quality of life. Moreover, these individuals frequently report unfulfilled needs related to supportive care, including rehabilitation support. Leisure-time physical activity (LPA), including exercise, has been found to be beneficial for people following diagnosis of cancer. However, little is known about LPA for individuals living with advanced cancer, particularly from a rehabilitation perspective. Purpose and objectives: The overall purpose of my dissertation research is to explore LPA in people with advanced cancer, through the perspectives of adults diagnosed with stage 4 cancer as well as those of oncology physiotherapists. Specific objectives are: (1) to map the research and understand key concepts from the literature about LPA in individuals with advanced cancer; (2) to explore the perspectives and experiences of LPA in adults diagnosed with stage 4 cancer; and (3) to describe the clinical practices, knowledge, skills, and perspectives of oncology physiotherapists related to LPA in the advanced cancer population. Methods: To meet these objectives, I conducted three research studies: (1) a scoping review of 92 articles exploring LPA in people with advanced cancer; (2) a qualitative interpretive-description study, involving individual, semi-structured interviews with 20 Canadian adults diagnosed with stage 4 cancer; and (3) a mixed-methods study, consisting of an online survey with 62 Canadian oncology physiotherapists, followed by qualitative, individual interviews with 13 physiotherapists. Results: The scoping review demonstrated a recent surge in research on the topic of LPA in advanced cancer, with many studies adopting quantitative methods and investigating aerobic and resistance exercise interventions. These studies have contributed to important research developments highlighting the safety, feasibility, and benefits of such interventions for people with advanced cancer. This scoping review also identified several gaps in the literature, particularly highlighted by the few qualitative studies exploring patient perspectives and experiences with different types of LPA. The second study helped address some of the research gaps noted in the scoping review. In this qualitative interpretive-description study, individuals with stage 4 cancer revealed the diverse and fluid nature of their experiences with LPA, necessitating intentional planning and modifications of activities. Moreover, important health benefits and psychosocial meanings of activity participation were identified. In addition, common supportive care needs related to LPA were recognized through this work. In particular, the participants desired professional LPA support that is integrated, interprofessional, accessible, and tailored to their individual abilities and preferences. To complement the patient perspectives and experiences, the third study offered insight on the perspectives of rehabilitation professionals. This mixed-methods study with oncology physiotherapists demonstrated positive views about the safety, importance, and benefits of activity in people with advanced cancer. Key considerations with this population included addressing cancer-related issues (e.g., bone metastases), identifying individually meaningful goals, and tailoring activity recommendations. The physiotherapists also highlighted their overall roles in optimizing functional capacity and alleviating symptom burden in people with advanced cancer. The lack of awareness about the role of physiotherapy and the limited access to rehabilitation services in oncology were identified as important challenges. Conclusions: The overall findings from this dissertation research highlight the scope of literature on LPA in advanced cancer and offer patient and professional perspectives related to this topic. As such, these findings may help inform the design and integration of supportive care resources targeted to this population. Strategies to promote LPA in this population require consideration of the complexities associated with advanced cancer and the important meanings of LPA for people living with this challenging diagnosis. Physiotherapists can be well-suited to promote safe, meaningful LPA in the advanced cancer population, as well as to optimize functional activity and symptom management. Practically, these findings support a patient-centered approach to encourage appropriate LPA in the care of people with advanced cancer. Key elements include: (1) comprehensive, regular patient assessment; (2) open communication with patients and families; (3) interprofessional collaboration between oncology care providers and specialized rehabilitation professionals; (4) integrated, routine delivery of LPA information and individualized activity recommendations; and (5) access to tailored LPA resources and programs within cancer care and community-based settings. Additional research is warranted to examine different types of LPA and explore other rehabilitation needs, particularly in understudied subgroups of advanced cancer (e.g., non-breast cancer). Moreover, further efforts are needed to develop, evaluate, and implement clinical strategies targeting LPA within integrated care models for advanced cancer. Simultaneously, educational initiatives are necessary to enhance relevant knowledge in physiotherapists and oncology care providers. These can support the personalization of LPA resources, facilitate interprofessional collaboration, and improve the quality and integration of rehabilitation services in cancer care. Therefore, the findings of my dissertation research provide comprehensive and applicable knowledge about diverse patient and professional perspectives related to LPA in the advanced cancer population. This work can support future efforts aimed at facilitating LPA participation and enhancing supportive care experiences in individuals living with advanced cancer.

Game over or play it again and again. : participatory design approach within Special Housing

Tobiasson, Helena January 2010 (has links)
<p>Activities that are fun, social, engaging and put something at stake are positive for your health no matter age or condition. What can you do if you suffer from dementia and are living at a Special Housing? According to research you should dance, visit the garden, get tactile massage discuss artworks etc. Still, despite all these proposals there are many voices from this domain, telling stories about living without live. Suffering from dementia may affect your ability to speak for your self and initiate activities. How can we know what they want and not what we think they need but they don’t seem to get or might not even want? Why don’t we ask them?We propose more focus on participation and design methods to guide the way.In this report, the author discusses the experience in conducting a Participatory Design research project intended to develop a technological and a related organizational intervention. The aim was to support people with dementia living in a Special Housing with fun and engaging activities. A short description of Participatory Design as an approach within research projects and a description of how it was used in this research study are given. We then discuss the experience in conducting the research, some of the users’ comments and responses, challenges, success stories and drawbacks when trying to design and test an activity in a readymade setting with fixed schema for several weeks ahead. The overall reflection being that Participatory Design has great potential for interventional projects and research focusing on leisure activities in everyday life for people with dementia.We proposes this being due to the two concepts – participation and design</p>

Faktoter som påverkar valet av fritidsaktiviteter efter stroke : En intervjustudie med sju personer som drabbats av stroke

Crona, Anna-Karin, Lagerstedt, Elin January 2006 (has links)
<p>Syftet med studien var att undersöka vad som påverkar valet av fritidsaktiviteter hos personer som haft stroke och på vilket sätt fritidsaktiviteterna har förändrats. För att uppnå syftet valdes kvalitativa intervjuer som metod. Intervjuerna var semistrukturerade och utgick från en egengjord intervjuguide. Resultatet visade att utmaningen, gemenskapen, fysisk träning, självständighet, balans i vardagen, livssynen och rehabiliteringsteamet var faktorer som påverkade deltagarnas utförande av fritidsaktiviteter. Att anpassa fritidsaktiviteten eller att få personligt stöd var vanligare än att anpassa den fysiska miljön.</p>

Neighborhood Design and Travel : a Study of Residential Quality, Child Leisure Activity and Trips to School

Westford, Pia January 2010 (has links)
Sustainable urban mobility calls for well-informed design of neighborhoods. Although many studies have been conducted in the field, there is little evidence about the relationships between design elements, urban quality and behavior. Little is also known about residents’ valuation of design and urban quality in this context. This study uses a multidisciplinary approach to deal with these issues. The focus is on children’s leisure activities, their travel mode and independence of adult escort in trips to school. Logistic regression models were used to analyze connections between neighborhood design, parents’ satisfaction with urban qualities and children’s behavior. The study included socioeconomic factors, parents’ stated importance of qualities and travel mode to work. It was conducted in a suburban district in the Stockholm region, in three different modernist neighborhoods and one traditional villa area. The results support the hypothesis that environmental and social qualities, and proximity to school, can influence children’s trips to school, and the location and frequency of children’s leisure activities. The results confirm and extend earlier research. Two separate lifestyles were identified across neighborhoods with differencesin housing type and socioeconomic characteristics. They related to parents’ preferences for and priorities of public versus private urban qualities, and location of children’s leisure activity and travel mode to school. The results suggest that schools should be located in neighborhoods, close to both homes and transit, that neighborhoods are car-free or traffic separated and that the outdoor environment is stimulating and cycling-friendly. They further suggest that a higher quality of children’s environment would be achieved if parents’ preferences had greater impact on urban developments, whereas current professional design ideals of mixed traffic and high density can be unsupportive ofthese qualities and can increase car escorts. Altogether, the results point to that design at the neighborhood scale has significance in relation to mobility requirements; and that new priorities are needed in planning and design as part of a comprehensive urban and transportation policy.

Smärtans påverkan på fritidsaktiviteter : En intervjustudie med personer med fibromyalgi

Johansson, Malin, Isaksson, Sofia January 2011 (has links)
Syftet med examensarbetet var att beskriva hur personer med fibromyalgi upplevde att fritidsaktiviteter påverkades av smärta. Som datainsamlingsmetod valdes en intervju. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med tio kvinnor. Frågorna utformades från centrala begrepp i The Model of Human Occupation. Inklusionskriterierna var att deltagarna skulle ha diagnosen fibromyalgi och vara i arbetsför ålder. De hade även ett lönearbete, ideellt arbete eller deltog i eftergymnasiala studier på minst deltid. Intervjuerna analyserades utifrån en kvalitativ innehållsanalys och resultatet presenterades i form av fem huvudkategorier med tillhörande underkategorier. De fem huvudkategorierna som beskrev smärtans påverkan på fritidsaktiviteter var; Miljöns betydelse, Aktivitetsbe-gränsningar, Anpassningsstrategier, Aktiviteter för smärtlindring och Balans i vardagen. Smärtan hade gjort att informanterna tvingats välja bort några av de fritidsaktiviteter de utförde tidigare. De fortsatte att engagera sig i fritidsaktiviteter som hade ett stort värde för dem om smärtan inte upplevdes för begränsande under eller efter utförandet. Miljön och aktivitetens krav påverkade tillsammans med smärtan aktivitetsutförandet.

影響臺灣地區居民生活滿意度因素之研究 / A Study of Affective Factors of Satisfaction for Citizens in Taiwan

王立衍, Wang, Li-yen January 1900 (has links)
生活滿意度常視為生活品質的指標,是一種心理上主觀對自我生活的評價,也是知覺與期望是否一致。如何在個人、家庭、社會環境中得到主觀情緒的滿足,一直是大家追求的目標,也是現代社會最為重視的領域(蔡明怡,2008),本研究主要探討影響臺灣地區居民生活滿意度之因素,研究目的為:1.探討台灣地區居民的生理健康、經濟狀況、休閒活動參與之情況。2.探討性別、婚姻、年齡、教育程度、平均月收入、健康狀況對生活滿意度之差異。3.生理健康、經濟狀況、休閒活動參與與生活滿意度之間的關聯性。4.分析影響臺灣地區居民生活滿意度因素。研究資料為「台灣社會變遷基本調查計畫:第五期第三次(休閒組)調查」,樣本數為2147份。研究方法採敘述性統計、差異分析、相關分析、迴歸分析。研究結果顯示性別、婚姻、年齡、教育程度、平均月收入對生活滿意度無顯著差異,但健康狀況對生活滿意度具顯著差異;相關分析方面教育程度愈高、經濟狀況愈好、健康狀況愈好、參與靜態動態活動愈高,生活滿意度愈高;迴歸分析結果顯示影響生活滿意度的因素有年齡、健康狀況、參與靜態活動,其中又以健康狀況最具影響力。 / Life satisfaction often regarded as an indicator of quality of life is a mentally subjective evaluation of one’s life. Being emotionally subjective satisfied in the individual, family and social environments is not only a goal that people pursue, but also a prominent aspect in the modern society (Cai Mingyi, 2008). This study aims to explore the factors that influence Taiwanese residents’ lives satisfaction, and the objectives are as follows: 1 To investigate the conditions of Taiwanese residents’ physical health, financial status and their participation in leisure activities; 2 To investigate the differences among the factors--gender, marriage, age, educational attainment, monthly income, health condition that influence life satisfaction; 3 To investigate the relevance of the factors to life satisfaction; 4 To analyze the factors that affect life satisfaction. The research is based on the data, National Science Council initiated Taiwan Social Change Survey (TSCS), whose sample size is 2147. The research methods involve descriptive statistics, variance analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis. The results have shown that sex, marital status, age, educational attainment or monthly income makes no significant differences to life satisfaction. In contrast, one’s health condition plays an important role in life satisfaction. Moreover, according to correlation analysis, the higher the educational attainment, the better financial status and health condition, the more participation in sedentary as well as dynamic activities, the better the life satisfaction. At last, according to regression analysis, factors that affect life satisfaction are age, health condition, participation in sedentary activities, among which the health condition is the most influential. / 目錄 摘要 i Abstract ii 誌謝辭 iii 目錄 iv 圖目 v 表目 vi 第一章 緒論 1 第一節 研究背景 1 第二節 研究動機 2 第三節 研究目的 3 第四節 研究問題 3 第五節 研究範圍與對象 4 第二章 文獻探討 5 第一節 生活滿意度之定義 5 第二節 影響生活滿意度之因素 6 第三章 研究方法 13 第一節 研究架構 13 第二節 研究對象 13 第三節 問卷設計與變項衡量 14 第四節 資料分析 15 第四章 資料分析 17 第一節 敘述性統計百分比 17 第二節 差異分析 27 第三節 相關分析 30 第四節 迴歸分析 32 第五章 結論與建議 35 第一節 研究發現 35 第二節 管理意涵 36 第三節 研究建議 37 參考文獻 41 附錄 47 圖目 圖1-1 研究流程圖…………………………………………………………………4 圖3-1 研究架構圖…………………………………………………………………13 表目 表2-1-1 生活滿意度定義 5 表2-2-1 影響生活滿意度因素-生理健康 6 表2-2-2 影響生活滿意度因素-休閒活動 8 表2-2-3 影響生活滿意度因素-經濟狀況 9 表2-2-4 影響生活滿意度因素-性別 10 表2-2-5 影響生活滿意度因素-年齡 11 表2-2-6 影響生活滿意度因素-教育程度 12 表4-1-1 人口變項分析的性別 17 表4-1-2 人口變項分析的年齡 17 表4-1-3 人口變項分析的教育程度 18 表4-1-4 人口變項分析的婚姻狀況 18 表4-1-5 經濟狀況分析 19 表4-1-6健康狀況分析 19 表4-1-7看電視,dvd,錄影帶 20 表4-1-8 到電影院看電影 20 表4-1-9 逛街購物 21 表4-1-10 看書 21 表4-1-11 參加藝文活動 22 表4-1-12 跟親戚聚會家族聚會 22 表4-1-13 跟朋友聚會 23 表4-1-14 玩牌或下棋 23 表4-1-15 聽音樂 24 表4-1-16 從事體能活動 24 表4-1-17 到現場看體育比賽 25 表4-1-18 做手工藝 25 表4-1-19 使用電腦或上網 26 表4-1-20 生活滿意度 27 表4-2-1 性別對生活滿意度之差異 27 表4-2-2 婚姻對生活滿意度之差異 27 表4-2-3 年齡對生活滿意度之差異 28 表4-2-4 教育程度對生活滿意度之差異 28 表4-2-5 平均月收入對生活滿意度之差異 29 表4-2-6 健康狀況對生活滿意度之差異 29 表4-2-7 Scheffe事後比較 29 表4-3-1 相關分析 32 表4-4-1基本人口背景變項、健康狀況、參與靜態活動、參與動活動對生活滿意度之影響模式 33
