This study, theoretically based on the Exercise Self-Esteem Model, EXSEM, examined effects of exercise modality physical and global self-esteem (PSE, GSE) in breast cancer survivors. The EXSEM posits GSE at apex with PSE feeding into GSE. has three subdomains: condition (PC), attractive body (AB), strength (PS). goals were to compare effect combination versus single-modality explore relationship between subdomains PSE.Survivors randomly allocated flexibility (F), aerobic (A), resistance (R),...
Exercise is recommended for cancer survivors, as it mitigates treatment side effects and improves overall wellness. Therefore, survivors attend community-based exercise programs report positive results, but published evaluations of outcomes these are scarce in the literature. The objective this study to validate anecdotal reports physical fitness quality life benefits LIVESTRONG at YMCA program. A retrospective analysis deidentified data consisting 17 program cohorts (n = 88) was conducted....
Background: People living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) are at an increased risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). Physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness in PLHIV poorly understood. Objective: The aims of this study were to describe physical by sex age examine the association between PLHIV, controlling covariates. Methods: Seven hundred two participated a cross-sectional completed validated measures self-reported (7-day Activity Recall) (6-minute walk test)....
The study tested the feasibility and efficacy of an exergaming program in underserved older African American communities. is a single-group with pre- posttest design. Twelve female participants ( M age = 64.17 ± 6.74 years) completed once or twice week for 24 sessions over 14 weeks. Community health workers implemented through coaching supporting mechanisms to motivate exercise. A mixed-methods analysis was used assess intervention. After program, showed significant improvements lower body...
Nursing leadership at Morristown Medical Center, a Magnet-designated, 600-plus bed tertiary care center, in response to forces, such as health reform, and recommendations, those outlined the Institute of Medicine report The Future Nursing, developed an innovative model delivery called Partners Caring. This is approach built on functional unit registered nurse-nurse assistant partnership supported by patient facilitator. nursing partners are accountable for coordination with emphasis...
Abstract Purpose This article aims to provide perspectives on the establishment of a consortium for nurse scientists with similar career trajectories interested in cancer‐related symptoms (CRS) research. Hereby, we describe development and recent outcomes from CRS consortium, lessons learned establishing future directions advance science CRS. Model Methods New innovative strategies are needed address complexity A was created allow mechanism oncology varying expertise collaborate The National...
Thirty years ago, the first article on exercise for patients with cancer appeared in research literature. The time from that to present has included oncology nurses taking lead investigations related and cancer-related symptoms, most notably fatigue (CRF). Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) been instrumental publishing much of continues tradition by issuing this supplement Clinical Journal Nursing. In addition, ONS facilitated translation findings practicing convening meetings, participating...
Physical activity is essential to life, health, and well-being, physical inactivity a major public health problem. Women, especially those of advanced age members minority groups, are at particular risk for inactivity. The construct associated with conceptual ambiguity inconsistent measurement strategies, some which may not be relevant the women. This presents barrier meaningful use term precise measurement. article explores gender issues its Selected research studies reviewed as they...
Social media tools have been touted as an approach to bring more democratic communication health care. We conducted a multi-site cross-sectional study among persons living with HIV (PLWH) desrcibe technology use PLWH in the US and association between social body-mass index (BMI). Our primary predictor variable was use. outcome BMI measured through height weight. Descriptive statistics were used describe demographic profiles of participants linear regression models analyze associations...

Little is known about how demographic, employment and meteorological factors impact physical activity. We conducted an analysis to explore these associations from participants (N = 447) six cities in the United States matched their activity data with abstracted local National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather reports. Participants were purposively recruited 3-month blocks, December 2015 October 2017, reflect engagement across seasons. calculated total (minutes/week) based on...
PURPOSE: This study examined the effect of exercise modality on physical self-esteem breast cancer survivors. The theoretical base was in expected exercise-induced fitness changes and resultant as proposed Sonstroem's EXSEM model self-esteem. hierarchical posits global (GSE) at apex with (PSE) feeding into GSE. PSE has 3 subdomains; conditioning(PC), attractive body(AB) strength(PS). METHODS: Women were randomly assigned to one four 12-week programs: flexibility (F), aerobic (A), resistance...
Purpose: Low levels of regular leisure-time physical activity were noted among African Americans. The study tested the feasibility and efficacy an exergaming program in this underserved communities. Methods: was a single-group with pre-and-post test design. Twelve older African-American (64.17 ± 6.74 years old) engaged Wii Fit U once or twice week for 24 sessions over 14 weeks. Community health workers (CHWs) implemented through coaching supporting mechanism to motivate participants exercise...
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Overweight breast cancer survivors are at high risk of recurrence and mortality. Exercise can mitigate these outcomes, but this subset dropout from exercise programs a rate. We tested the Breast Cancer Healthy Lifestyle Intervention Study (BCHLIS) which incorporates evidence-based components to enhance physical fitness intrinsic motivation(IM). THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK: Self-determination theory (SDT) informed BCHLIS. focused program on psychological needs autonomy (A),...
