Brief Summary:
The proposed mixed methods pilot study will enroll 20 young breast cancer survivors into a 12-week technology-based, remotely-delivered, peer-moderated physical activity program to examine the effects of the intervention on objectively measured physical activity and multiple aspects of quality of life; and conduct qualitative analyses to refine the intervention for a future randomized controlled trial.
Detailed Description:
Young breast cancer survivors (i.e. those \< 50 years old) have lower survival rates than their older counterparts and experience unique physical and mental challenges associated with their cancer treatments. Depression, anxiety, and poor body image are common in young breast cancer survivors. Research in older breast cancer survivors has shown that physical activity can decrease cancer recurrence and mortality, and improve many aspects of quality of life. Few physical activity intervention studies have been conducted in young breast cancer survivors, despite the fact that young survivors would be best served by age-specific interventions designed to target their needs. Remotely-delivered, technology-based interventions may be important to help young breast cancer survivors overcome unique barriers to increasing physical activity and improving quality of life.
The study aims are: 1) Explore the feasibility and acceptability of a technology-based, remotely-delivered, peer-moderated physical activity intervention for young breast cancer survivors; 2a) Assess the invention's impact on change in physical activity; and 2b) Measure the intervention's effect on multiple aspects of quality of life
