“…Based on the literature, both of these variables may relate to kinesiophobia. Marital status may be linked to kinesiophobia ( 33 ), with references to having a supportive spouse can be a protective factor ( 33 , 49 ), as this support and care can reduce fear of the activity and facilitate recovery ( 33 ), but this is not universally agreed upon. Other studies have found no significant association between marital status and fear of movement ( 32 , 50 ).…”

“…As previously mentioned, pain can be a determining factor for kinesiophobia; however, in this case, it cannot explain the 60% of kinesiophobia found in the control group. Factors such as age ( 33 , 68 , 71 ), obesity ( 33 , 34 ), educational level, and marital status ( 33 ) may be associated with fear of movement. However, the most plausible explanation for this finding is related to the multidimensionality of kinesiophobia.…”

“…However, factors such as age, BMI, sex, educational level, marital status, and regularity of physical exercise or activity are often analyzed in association with the literature. People of older age ( 19 , 31 , 32 ), higher BMI ( 13 , 33 ), female ( 33 – 35 ), with lower levels of education ( 33 , 34 ), without a partner ( 33 ), and sedentary ( 36 ) are those who show a greater predisposition to develop kinesiophobic behaviors. On the other hand, characteristics of lymphedema such as the cause (primary or secondary lymphedema), location, staging, and duration may also be related to kinesiophobia.…”

IntroductionKinesiophobia and lymphedema appear to be related conditions, and it is important to understand this relationship, as many of the symptoms and comorbidities presented by individuals with lower limb lymphedema are prevented and treated through movement, thus constituting kinesiophobia as a barrier to intervention. The objective of this study is, therefore, to evaluate and analyze the kinesiophobic beliefs reported by individuals with and without lower limb lymphedema, regarding the agreement, severity and differences found, and to establish levels of kinesiophobia.MethodsA case-control study with a total sample of 80 participants (40 with lower limb lymphedema and 40 without) was performed. Both groups (with and without lymphedema) were characterized anthropologically, sociodemographically, and clinically. In the case group, lymphedema was evaluated. Participants in both groups completed the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia - 13 items (TSK-13).ResultsIndividuals with lower limb lymphedema had higher TSK-13 scores than their matched group without lymphedema. The items belonging to the activity avoidance subscale had the highest agreement and score in both groups. Differences between groups were mainly established for items belonging to the somatic focus subscale, showing that individuals with lower limb lymphedema have kinesiophobic beliefs related to the perceived severity of their lymphedema. The prevalence of kinesiophobia was increased in both groups, but the severity was mild.ConclusionsConsidering the apparent tendency of people with lower limb lymphedema to present kinesiophobia and movement-limiting beliefs regarding the condition, greater attention should be paid to its assessment, prevention and treatment from a multidisciplinary and multimodal perspective, which takes into account the multiplicity of factors inherent to kinesiophobia and lymphedema and thus reduce their impact on the management of lymphedema.

“…Starting from the cognitive psychology of kinesiophobia, healthcare professionals can guide patients to correctly express their feelings and help them build con dence through mindfulness interventions 22 . In addition, kinesiophobia was associated to family support 23 , so family members should be encouraged to participate in PA together, improve patients' fear.…”

Background Physical activity (PA) is essential and effective for chronic heart failure (CHF) patients. Greater understanding of the longitudinal changes in PA and its association factors during the post-discharge transition period may help create interventions for improving PA. The aims of this study are: 1) to compare the change of PA; 2) to examine the associated factors of PA change; 3) to verify the mediating pathways between the factors and PA during the post-discharge transition period in CHF patients. Methods A total of 209 CHF patients were recruited using a longitudinal study design. Structured questionnaires were used to assess PA, CHF-related symptoms, kinesiophobia, and demographics, disease characteristics. PA questionnaire was investigated: (1) during admission, (2) two weeks after discharge, (3) two months after discharge, and (4) three months after discharge. Additional three questionnaires were collected during admission. Generalized estimating equation models (GEE) were fitted to identify variables associated with PA over time. We followed STROBE checklist for reporting the study. Results PA of CHF patients decreased unevenly, with the lowest level at two weeks after discharge. CHF-related symptoms and kinesiophobia were significantly associated with PA change trend over time. Compared with before hospitalization, increase in CHF-related symptoms at two weeks and two months after discharge were significantly associated with a decrease in PA. In the path analysis, CHF-related symptoms related to PA not only directly but also indirectly through kinesiophobia. Conclusion PA was changed during the post-discharge transition period and associated with CHF-related symptoms and kinesiophobia in CHF patients. Improving kinesiophobia may help reduce CHF-related symptoms and improve PA. Trial Registration: The study was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (11/10/2022 ChiCTR2200064561 retrospectively registered)

The number of patients with malignant tumors is increasing in China, and venous access ports have unique advantages for chemotherapy. Currently, China’s research on venous access port-mediated kinesiophobia is still in the developing stage. Using the combination of subjective words and freedom words, and based on literature traceability methods, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, Vipp, Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM), Web of Science, The COCHRANE LIBRARY, Embase, and PubMed were searched. Relevant articles published from the construction of the database to October 30, 2023, were identified. Based on the many articles and analyses, the methods of assessing kinesiophobia in malignant tumors patients using venous access port, the related influencing factors and the preventive and intervention strategies were collated. We found 33 articles examining kinesiophobia in oncology patients, of which 4 were specifically conducted on patients with malignant tumors using VAPs or PICCs. The relevant preventive and therapeutic experiences regarding kinesiophobia in cancer patients with VAP still need improvement. Nursing staff can use assessment tools such as the Tampa Rating Scale for Kinesiophobia, the Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire, and the Cancer Fatigue Scale to reasonably and effectively assess kinesiophobia among patients with malignant tumors who use VAPs. Attention should be paid to the mechanisms and roles of demographic factors, pain and foreign body sensation, cancer fatigue, pain management strategies, and other factors influencing kinesiophobia. This study provides advice to nursing staff for the management of VAP. Such considerations may reduce the complications of kinesiophobia and improve the quality of life of patients.
