IntroductionLifestyle-associated factors like physical activity (PA) play an important role in cancer prevention and oncology treatment outcomes. The aim of the study is to investigate the level of kinesiophobia (fear of movement) in breast cancer (BC) patients undergoing surgical treatment depending on socio-demographic variables, lifestyle before cancer diagnosis, stage and type of BC and comorbidities.MethodsWe interviewed 285 women (132 patients from Greater Poland Cancer Center – age: 55.7 ± 12.4; BMI: 26.7 ± 4.7 and 153 healthy women from control group – age: 49.0 ± 15.7; BMI: 25.7 ± 4.0) using Polish adaptation of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK).ResultsResearch results show that women with BC suffer from kinesiophobia (>37 points) signi!cantly. Approximately 3/4 of the surveyed women with BC did not know the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations regarding the weekly dose of PA for healthy people and for people with cancer. Before cancer diagnosis more than a half of women (60%) performed PA in accordance with WHO recommendations. 7% less women performed PA during oncology treatment. Almost a half of patients are not physically active during cancer treatment and 1/5 of the respondents declared that they do not know yet if they will be physically active after oncology treatment. The level of kinesiophobia in BC women with comorbidities was the same as in the group of BC women without comorbidities. However, the highest levels of fear of movement have been observed among women with BC suffering also from osteoporosis, obesity and diabetes. In general, higher levels of kinesiophobia were reported among women in less advanced stages of the disease. There were no differences in the level of kinesiophobia depending on the type of BC (hormonally dependent luminal cancers vs. other types). The level of kinesiophobia did not differ between women who were physically active before BC diagnosis and women who were not. In terms of socio- demographic variables, we found one direct association between the level of kinesiophobia (pain) with age – the greater age, the higher level of pain kinesiophobia.DiscussionResearch on fear of movement in female oncology requires further research (including also chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy and hormonal therapy) and in order to effectively eliminate hypokinetic attitudes at every stage of cancer treatment.

Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most dangerous health problems affecting women. Lifestyle-associated determinants like physical activity (PA) play an important role in BC treatment outcomes. Studies suggest that oncology patients are insufficiently physically active. One of the potential barriers is kinesiophobia—fear of movement due to expected pain and fatigue. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to investigate the level of kinesiophobia among women one year after BC hospital treatment depending on socio-demographic variables, stage and type of BC, lifestyle, and comorbidities. Polish women after BC (n = 138, age 46.5 ± 9.2, BMI 24.6 ± 4.0) participated in the study and the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) questionnaire was used in the diagnostic survey. The study results show that women suffer from kinesiophobia after BC. Moreover, every third woman (32.6%) does not practice sport regularly one year after BC treatment. The lifestyle before BC diagnosis impacts the level of kinesiophobia after treatment—women who were not physically active before BC diagnosis declared higher levels than previously active women. The study result shows that a high level of kinesiophobia correlates with a low level of PA among women after BC. Women with obesity and diabetes also declared higher levels of kinesiophobia than women without comorbidities. The type and stage of BC have no influence on the level of kinesiophobia; however, in terms of socio-demographic variables, a direct association between kinesiophobia and age has been found—the greater the age, the higher the level of kinesiophobia. Further research on fear of movement in oncology is required in order to effectively eliminate hypokinetic attitudes in every type of female and male cancer.
