Breast cancer survivors' perspectives on a clinical decision tool to support individualized exercise prescriptions and discussions.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To examine breast cancer survivors' perspectives on the prototype (paper-draft) of a clinical decision tool to support individualized exercise prescriptions and discussions within clinical settings.

Methods

A sample of ≥90 female breast cancer survivors aged ≥35 years across the U.S. were recruited to complete an online survey that collected data on survivors' characteristics and perspectives of a prototype of the tool. Survey items were adapted from validated pre-existing instruments and refined via cognitive interviews.

Results

Ninety-eight of the 142 individuals screened were deemed eligible and completed the survey. Most breast cancer survivors agreed that a tool would be useful (84.7%) and increase confidence to discuss exercise with a healthcare provider
