Multimodal group-based tele-prehabilitation for cancer patients and caregivers: a pragmatic multicentre hybrid implementation-effectiveness study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multimodal prehabilitation can optimize the physical and psychological health of cancer patients, reduce treatment side effects, hospital stay, and accelerate recovery. The support provided by caregivers reduces the demands on the health care system and can be key in the uptake and maintenance of healthy lifestyle behaviours. However, caregivers support comes at a high cost to their own health. Physical activity can help caregivers maintain their health at the level required to successfully perform their vital roles. Our team has designed the first group-based multimodal tele-prehabilitation program targeting both patients and caregivers: coACTIF. This paper presents the protocol of this implementation-effectiveness study.
