Objective: To conduct a randomized controlled trial and compare the effects on cancer survivors' quality of life in 12-week group-based multidisciplinary self-management rehabilitation program, combining physical training (twice weekly) cognitive-behavioral (once with those weekly). In addition, both interventions were compared no intervention. Methods: Participants (all types, medical treatment completed ≥3 months ago) randomly assigned to (n = 76) or 71). The nonintervention comparison...

Research suggests that cancer rehabilitation reduces fatigue in survivors of cancer. To date, it is unclear what type most beneficial.This randomized controlled trial compared the effect on cancer-related physical training combined with cognitive behavioral therapy alone and no intervention.In this multicenter trial, 147 were randomly assigned to a group received cognitive-behavioral (PT+CBT group, n=76) or (PT n=71). In addition, nonintervention control (WLC group) consisting 62 who waiting...

We compared the effect of a 12-week group-based multidisciplinary self-management rehabilitation program, combining physical training (twice weekly) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (once with on cancer survivors' quality life over 1-year period.One hundred forty-seven survivors [48.8 +/- 10.9 years (mean SD), all types, medical treatment > or = 3 months ago] were randomly assigned to either (PT, n 71) plus (PT + CBT, 76). Quality activity levels measured before immediately after...

We compared the effect of a group-based 12-week supervised exercise programme, i.e. aerobic and resistance exercise, group sports, with that same programme combined cognitive-behavioural training on physical fitness activity cancer survivors. One hundred forty seven survivors (all types, medical treatment ≥3 months ago) were randomly assigned to (PT, n=71) or PT plus (PT+CBT, n=76). Maximal capacity, muscle strength assessed at baseline post-intervention. Analyses using multilevel linear...

Abstract Objective Mediating mechanisms of a 12‐week group‐based exercise intervention on cancer survivors' quality life (QoL) were examined to inform future development. Methods Two hundred nine survivors ≥3 months posttreatment (57% breast cancer) aged 49.5 (±10.4) years assigned physical ( n = 147) or wait‐list control 62). QoL, fatigue, emotional distress, activity, general self‐efficacy and mastery assessed at baseline post‐intervention using questionnaires. Path analysis was conducted...

Abstract Objective : Group‐based physical training interventions have been shown to be effective in increasing quality of life cancer survivors. Until now, however, the impact cohesion within group on intervention outcome has not investigated. Methods We examined self‐reported individual ratings collected first half a 12‐week rehabilitation programme for survivors ( N =132). Four dimensions were measured, i.e. bond with as whole, other members, cooperation and instrumental value. Quality...

This study explored demographic, clinical, and psychological moderators of the effect a group-based physical exercise intervention on global quality life (QoL) among cancer survivors who completed treatment. Cancer were assigned to 12-week (n = 147) or wait-list control group 62). The main outcome measure was QoL, assessed with EORTC QLQ-C30 at baseline 12 weeks later.
