摘要

Purpose

To examine breast cancer survivors’ perspectives on the prototype (paper-draft) of a clinical decision tool to support individualized exercise prescriptions and discussions within clinical settings.

Methods

A sample of ≥90 female breast cancer survivors aged ≥35 years across the U.S. were recruited to complete an online survey that collected data on survivors’ characteristics and perspectives of a prototype of the tool. Survey items were adapted from validated pre-existing instruments and refined via cognitive interviews.

Results

Ninety-eight of the 142 individuals screened were deemed eligible and completed the survey. Most breast cancer survivors agreed that a tool would be useful (84.7%) and increase confidence to discuss exercise with a healthcare provider (74.5%). Among tool uses, the highest agreement was found for education (84.1%) and encouragement to exercise (79.3%). Improving the ability to do everyday tasks (74.0%), quality-of-life (72.6%), and energy (71.4%) were rated as the top exercise benefits to include in a tool. Agreement on tool usefulness, uses, and inputs varied by survivors’ demographic, clinical, and contextual characteristics. For example, agreement that a tool would increase their confidence to discuss exercise was lower among younger survivors (<50 years, 67.7%) than older survivors (≥50 years, 78.5%).

Conclusions

An evidence-based clinical decision tool offering individualized exercise information could support exercise prescriptions and discussions within clinical settings. However, a one-size-fits-all tool may not address existing disparities in exercise participation. Further research among underserved women is needed.
