Determinants of healthy lifestyle behaviours in colorectal cancer survivors: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Identifying and selecting determinants of health behaviours is an important step in the design of behaviour change interventions. Many colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors experience disease- and treatment-related complaints, which may make it difficult to implement behavioural changes. In this systematic review, we aimed to identify determinants of a healthy lifestyle, i.e. dietary behaviours and physical activity, in CRC survivors who finished treatment.

Methods

We searched Web of Science, PubMed and PsychINFO, to retrieve quantitative and qualitative studies on determinants of a healthy lifestyle in CRC survivors who finished treatment. Synonyms of the following search terms were used: 'CRC survivors', 'lifestyle', 'physical activity', 'nutrition' and 'determinant'.
