Feasibility of a Habit-Based Intervention to Reduce Sedentary Behaviour in Cancer Survivors
A Habit-Based Intervention to Reduce Sedentary Behaviour in Cancer Survivors: A Feasibility Study
Cancer and its treatments are associated with long-term side effects including lowered physical strength and quality of life. Decreasing sedentary behaviour improves health outcomes in cancer survivors. Habit-based programs aimed at lowering sedentary behaviour have been successful in decreasing sedentary behaviour in other populations. However, limited clinical trials aimed at lowering sedentary behaviour have recruited cancer survivors, and none are exclusively based on Habit Theory.
The primary goal of this clinical trial is to test the feasibility of an 8-week, habit-based program to lower sedentary behaviour in cancer survivors. Sedentary behaviour refers to low-energy activities performed during waking hours in a seated, reclined or laid down position. Secondarily, this clinical trial aims to examine changes in sedentary behaviour, physical strength, habit, and quality of life.
Enrolled participants will be assigned to a sedentary behaviour or active control group. The sedentary behaviour group will receive 8 weekly sheets consisting of tips recommending to lower sedentary behaviour. Tips will be individualized to participants' lifestyles, and will consider their cancer-specific and other physical limitations. Participants in the sedentary behaviour group will also meet with the researcher once a week for a check-in session for more individualized tips and progressions. The active control group will receive the Canadian 24-hour Movement Guidelines, and a handout highlighting the benefits of lowering sedentary behaviour. Both groups will be provided with wearable activity monitors (Fitbits).

実験的:Sedentary Behaviour Intervention Group
The sedentary behaviour intervention will consist of weekly tick-sheets, one weekly check-in session, and a Fitbit for physical inactivity reminders over 8 weeks.
The weekly tick-sheets will consist of tips recommending to lower sedentary behaviour by enacting actions in the presence of cues.
Progressions, illustrations and steps to perform these actions will be provided as an attachment with the tick-sheets.
An example of a tip is "During TV/online video ad breaks or when you finish watching one episode of a show or online video, climb up and down a staircase to reduce cancer-related fatigue associated with prolonged sitting".
Tips will be individualized to participants' lifestyles, and will consider their cancer-specific and other physical limitations.
Participants in the sedentary behaviour group will also meet with the researcher once a week for a check-in session for more individualized tips and progressions.

メジャーの説明 |
時間枠 |
|---|---|---|
|
Enrollment
時間枠:Change from baseline (pre- intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
Participant enrollment rate will be a measure of feasibility.
Enrollment will be calculated by measuring the number of participants who enrolled in the intervention, divided by the number of participants who were assessed for eligibility.
|
Change from baseline (pre- intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
|
Adherence
時間枠:From baseline (pre-intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
Adherence is another measure of feasibility.
Two types of adherence will be measured: check-in session adherence and tip adherence.
Check-in session adherence will be calculated by assessing the number of check-in sessions attended divided by the total number of check-in sessions that took place (i.e. 8 sessions).
Tip adherence will be calculated by the number of days that the daily tip goal of 2-4 tips was met, divided by 56 (7 days per week for 8 weeks).
|
From baseline (pre-intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
|
Attrition
時間枠:Assessed from baseline (pre-intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
Attrition will be a measure of feasibility.
Attrition will be measured by calculating the number of participants who did not complete the intervention, divided by the number of participants who were randomized.
|
Assessed from baseline (pre-intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
|
Adverse Events
時間枠:From baseline (pre-intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
Adverse events will be a measure of feasibility.
This will be assessed as an unexpected and severe medical problem or injury (e.g., cardiac-related events, musculoskeletal injury or pain, falls) that occurs due to the intervention.
|
From baseline (pre-intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
|
Participant Satisfaction
時間枠:Post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
A participant satisfaction survey will be administered following the 8-week intervention to assess the acceptability of the intervention by using researcher-generated statements (e.g., "I found the sedentary behaviour reduction intervention rewarding").
The survey will assess the burden of the program and the participant's feedback regarding the sedentary behaviour intervention and overall study experience.
Likert scales ranging from 1 (not at all) to 5 (very much) will be used.
The active control group will complete a satisfaction survey which will include statements relevant to the active control arm.

Objective Sedentary Behaviour
時間枠:Change from baseline (pre-intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
Objective sedentary behaviour will be measured using inclinometers (i.e. the ActivPAL) pre- and post-intervention.
The inclinometer records the amount of time spent lying, sitting, standing, in upright position, cycling, in seated transport, total sedentary time, and sit-to-stand transitions.
Participants will be mailed the inclinometers and will be provided instructions through videoconferencing.
|
Change from baseline (pre-intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
|
Self-Reported Sedentary Behaviour
時間枠:Change from baseline (pre- intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
Self-reported sedentary behaviour will be measured using the AusDiab3 Sedentary Behaviour Questionnaire.
This questionnaire measures the amount of time, in minutes and hours, spent seated, reclined or laying down while working, using transport, watching TV, as well as playing computer, internet, and electronic games, in the past week on weekdays and weekends.
The choices for this questionnaire are none, 15 minutes or less, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, or 6 hours or more.
|
Change from baseline (pre- intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
|
Habit
時間枠:Change from baseline (pre- intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
Habit will be assessed using the brief Self-Report Behavioural Automaticity Index.
This is a 4-item measure that assesses the automaticity of specific behaviours (i.e.
actions in the tick-sheets to reduce sedentary behaviour).
|
Change from baseline (pre- intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
|
Physical Function
時間枠:Change from baseline (pre- intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
Physical function will be measured at baseline and follow-up using the remotely-delivered 30-second sit-to-stand and 6-minute walk tests.
The purpose of the 30-second sit-to-stand test is to measure participants' lower body strength and endurance by measuring the number of full chair stands with arms folded at the chest completed in 30-seconds.
The 6-minute walk test assesses functional walking capacity by the distance walked in 6 minutes without running or jogging.
A qualified exercise professional will administer these tests.
|
Change from baseline (pre- intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
|
Cancer-Specific Quality of Life
時間枠:Change from baseline (pre- intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
Cancer-specific quality of life will be measured using the FACT-G.
This is a 27-item questionnaire that assesses four domains of health-related quality of life in the past 7 days: physical, social, emotional, and functional well-being .
Participants will be asked to rate each statement on a 5-point Likert scale (0= "not at all", 4= "very much") based on how much they relate to the statement.
|
Change from baseline (pre- intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
|
General-Health-Related Quality of Life
時間枠:Change from baseline (pre- intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
General health-related quality of life will be measured using the Short Form-12 questionnaire.
This questionnaire consists of 12 items that measure 8 physical and mental health-related domains: general health, physical functioning, role physical, body pain, vitality, social functioning, role emotional, and mental health.
|
Change from baseline (pre- intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
|
Self-Reported Exercise
時間枠:Change from baseline (pre- intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
Self-reported exercise will be measured using the modified Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire.
Participants will report the number of times per week and minutes per session that they engage in light, moderate, and vigorous leisure-time exercise, and resistance exercise.
Total weekly minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity will be calculated as the sum of the number of moderate exercise minutes per week, plus twice the number of vigorous exercise minutes per week.
|
Change from baseline (pre- intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).

|
|
Fatigue
時間枠:Change from baseline (pre- intervention) to post-intervention (8 weeks).
|
Fatigue will be assessed at baseline and follow-up using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy- Fatigue Scale (FACIT-Fatigue).
The FACIT-Fatigue is a 13-item measure which assesses self-reported fatigue and its effect on daily activities and function.
Participants will be asked to rate 13 items related to their fatigue in the previous 7 days on a 5-point Likert scale (0="not at all" or "never" and 4= "very much" or "several times/day) in which higher scores indicate higher quality of life.
