“…We offer a credible interpretation of the data by continuing data collection until data saturation, and having 2 researchers independently analyzing the data and reaching consensus. 29 Consistent with IPA researchers using inductive inference in the interpretation of data, there were no predetermined themes. Having 2 researchers independently coding data contributed to rigorous interpretation, credibility through reflection upon, and exploration of, alternative interpretations of the data.…”

Session 2 focused on reviewing goals, forming “if‐then” plans to overcome barriers, on the basis of our previous research Participants received a 20‐minute phone call during week 8 to provide support and feedback regarding PA progress, review goals, action plans, and coping‐planning strategies. …”

Objective The objective of this study was to ascertain whether wearable technology coupled with action planning was effective in increasing physical activity (PA) in colorectal and endometrial cancer survivors at cardiovascular risk. Methods Sixty‐eight survivors who had cardiovascular risk factors and were insufficiently active were randomized to intervention and control arms. Intervention participants were given a wearable tracker for 12 weeks, two group sessions, and a support phone call. Participants in the control arm received print materials describing PA guidelines. Assessments at baseline and 12 weeks measured triaxial and uniaxial estimates of moderate‐vigorous physical activity (MVPA), sedentary behaviour, blood pressure, and body mass index (BMI). Results The intervention group significantly increased MVPA by 45 min/wk compared with a reduction of 21 min/wk in the control group. Group by time interactions were significant for minutes of MVPA (F1,126 = 5.14, P = 0.025). For those with diastolic hypertension, there was a significant group by time interaction (F1,66 = 4.89, P = 0.031) with a net reduction of 9.89 mm Hg in the intervention group. Conclusions Significant improvements in MVPA were observed following the intervention. The results display promise for the use of pragmatic, low‐intensity interventions using wearable technology.

Preventive behaviors and behavioral risk factors among gynecologic cancer survivors: Results from the 2020 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Survey

BackgroundMaintaining a healthy lifestyle is an important factor in promoting positive outcomes for gynecologic cancer survivors.MethodsWe examined preventive behaviors among gynecologic cancer survivors (n = 1824) and persons without a history of cancer in a cross‐sectional analysis, using data from the 2020 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey (BRFSS). BRFSS is a cross‐sectional telephone‐based survey of U.S. residents 18 years of age and older, which collects information about health‐related factors and use of preventive services.ResultsThe prevalence rates of colorectal cancer screening were respectively 7.9 (95% CI: 4.0–11.9) and 15.0 (95% CI: 4.0–11.9) %‐points higher among gynecologic and other cancer survivors compared to that of 65.2% among those without any history of cancer. However, no differences were observed in breast cancer screening between gynecologic cancer survivors (78.5%) and respondents without any history of cancer (78.7%). Coverage of influenza vaccination among gynecologic cancer survivors were 4.0 (95% CI: 0.3–7.6) %‐points higher than that of the no cancer group, but 11.6 (95% CI: 7.6–15.6) %‐points lower than that of the other cancer group. Pneumonia vaccination rate among gynecologic cancer survivors, however, was not statistically different than that of other cancer survivors and respondents with no history of cancer. When examining modifiable risk behaviors, the prevalence of smoking among gynecologic cancer survivors was 12.8 (95% CI: 9.5–16.0) and 14.2 (95% CI: 10.8–17.7) %‐points higher than smoking prevalence among other cancer survivors and respondents without any history of cancer. The rate differentials were even higher in rural areas, 17.4 (95% CI: 7.2–27.6) and 18.4 (95% CI: 7.4–29.4) %‐points respectively. There were no differences in the prevalence of heavy drinking across the groups. Lastly, gynecologic and other cancer survivors were less likely to be physically active (Δ = −12.3, 95% CI: −15.8 to −8.8 and Δ = −6.9, 95% CI: −8.5 to −5.3, respectively) than those without any history of cancer.ConclusionSmoking prevalence among gynecologic cancer survivors is alarmingly high. Intervention studies are needed to identify effective ways to assist gynecologic cancer survivors to quit smoking and refrain from hazardous alcohol consumption. In addition, women with gynecologic malignancies should made aware of the importance of physical activity.
