Background: Physical activity has been shown to mitigate many of the effects of cancer treatment, yet it often is not embraced by the patient or made part of the nursing standard of care.
Objectives: This pilot study evaluates the impact of the Oncology Nursing Society's Get Up, Get Moving program, a personalized, home-based, nurse-led physical activity coaching program.
Methods: Patients with cancer in the intervention and control groups completed the SF-36® and the Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire at weeks 1 and 12.
