Article Synopsis
- Healthy lifestyles significantly improve the physical condition and quality of life for cancer survivors, as supported by scientific research and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines for Survivorship.
- Many rural areas lack specialized resources for cancer patients, indicating a strong need for initiatives to promote healthy living among this population.
- The development of a multi-media patient information system based on the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) aims to enhance health literacy and facilitate informed choices for better aftercare, with further studies suggested to evaluate its effectiveness and impact on behavior change.
Background: The incidence of melanoma increased rapidly throughout the last decades, with overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation being an established risk factor. Due to their intensive sun exposure, many student athletes (SAs) have an increased risk for skin cancer. The Clever in Sun and Shade Program (CSSP) aims at enforcing positive attitudes toward UV protection (UVP) and at supporting sports schools in establishing UVP strategies.

The effect of PA-promoting interventions in general, behavior change techniques (BCTs), and further variables as moderators in particular are evaluated.
Methods: This study included randomized controlled trials of lifestyle interventions aiming at an increase in PA that can be carried out independently at home, published by December 2016, for adults diagnosed with cancer after completion of the main treatment.
