The Integrative Wellness Program (IWP) at the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (SCCC) sought to provide integrative wellness education to cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers by offering instruction in exercise, nutrition, and complementary and alternative medicine. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of the IWP on the overall wellness of the individuals participating in the program. Three different 10-week versions of the IWP were conducted over a 1-year period. Each session focused on a different wellness topic presented through interactive lectures and applied activities. A series of self-report questionnaires were administered at baseline and again at the completion of the program to assess improvements in physical activity levels, dietary habits, sleep hygiene, and quality of life. Participants were generally older, Caucasian, female, had higher levels of education, and still currently receiving treatment. Significant changes were observed in two measures: Starting the Conversation (-2.0 ± 2.40, p = .037) and the Sticking To It subscale of the Self-Efficacy and Eating Habits Survey (1.7 ± 1.22, p = .0013). A trend for improvement in the Reducing Fat subscale of the Self-Efficacy Eating Habits (0.44 ± 0.60, p = .056) was also observed. Participant satisfaction surveys indicated high levels of satisfaction and applicability of the material presented. The significant improvements detected related to dietary habits, combined with the responses from the participant satisfaction surveys, suggest that the IWP was well received and can positively impact the overall wellness of cancer patients, survivors, and their caregivers.

“…Although research suggests some people experience self-monitoring as demanding and tedious (Burke et al, 2009), survivors found the self-monitoring techniques for diet and physical activity helpful; thus, informing the acceptability of potential interventions. Previous interventions in endometrial cancer survivors have effectively implemented these behaviour change techniques (von Gruenigen et al, 2012). Furthermore, a meta-regression of healthy eating and/or physical activity interventions showed that self-monitoring was the most effective technique for promoting behaviour change (Michie et al, 2009).…”

Attitudes, challenges and needs about diet and physical activity in endometrial cancer survivors: a qualitative study

et al. 2016

With rates of endometrial cancer survival increasing, there is growing interest about lifestyle behaviours that could improve quality of life and reduce the risk for chronic diseases. The current study aimed to explore the attitudes, challenges, and needs of endometrial cancer survivors regarding diet and physical activity. Sixteen UK-based endometrial cancer survivors participated in two focus groups (n=5, n=3) or individual telephone interviews (n=8), using a semi-structured interview guide. Data were collectively analysed by two researchers until consensus was reached on a coding structure. Data analysis proceeded until themes were identified. Participants were within five years post cancer treatment with median age and BMI of 57 years and 25.83kg/m 2 , respectively. Three themes were identified: i) defining a healthy lifestyle, ii) factors influencing diet and physical activity, and iii) needing to search for information. Results suggest interventions should incorporate recommendations on managing late-treatment effects, and behaviour change techniques for cognitive, practical, and social barriers to healthy lifestyle changes. Health care professionals are in a vital position to provide or introduce endometrial cancer survivors to in-person behaviour change interventions at the early post-treatment period.
