Patients´ experiences of an exercise intervention in primary care following robot-assisted radical cystectomy due to bladder cancer: a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Physical activity is thought to be a key component in reducing postoperative complications following major abdominal surgery. The available literature on exercise interventions following radical cystectomy in patients with bladder cancer is scarce but suggests that physical activity and exercise might improve physical function and health-related quality of life, thus calling for further investigation. The CanMoRe-trial is a single-blinded randomised controlled trial (Clinicals Trials NCT03998579 25/06/2019), aimed at evaluating the impact of an exercise intervention in primary care following robot-assisted radical cystectomy. This study seeks to explore patients' experiences of the exercise intervention in the CanMoRe-trial to gain a better understanding of facilitating
