In this study, the authors explored the association between dispositional cancer worry (DCW), risk perceptions (RP), and physical activity (PA) among college females.
Four hundred fifty-one females from a midwestern university completed an online survey in September/October 2012.
DCW severity, DCW frequency, RP, and PA were measured along with qualitative data about PA as cancer prevention.
Sixty-nine percent of participants did not meet PA recommendations. DCW severity was a significant predictor of meeting PA recommendations (odds ratio = 1.2, 95% confidence interval [1.00, 1.38]; p = .05). Qualitative data revealed a lack of knowledge about breast cancer risk and PA as cancer prevention.
College women do not engage in enough PA nor feel at risk for developing breast cancer. A lack of knowledge exists about the cancer prevention benefit of PA. Results indicate a need for PA interventions that both educate breast cancer risk and motivate health protective behaviors.
在本研究中，作者探讨了大学女生的倾向性癌症担忧（DCW）、风险认知（RP）与身体活动（PA）之间的关联。
来自一所中西部大学的451名女生于2012年9月/10月完成了一项在线调查。
对DCW严重程度、DCW频率、RP和PA进行了测量，并收集了有关PA作为癌症预防措施的定性数据。
69%的参与者未达到PA建议标准。DCW严重程度是达到PA建议标准的显著预测因素（优势比=1.2，95%置信区间[1.00, 1.38]；p = 0.05）。定性数据显示，参与者缺乏关于乳腺癌风险和PA作为癌症预防措施的知识。
大学女生没有进行足够的身体活动，也不认为自己有患乳腺癌的风险。她们对PA预防癌症的益处缺乏了解。结果表明，需要开展既能教育乳腺癌风险又能激发健康保护行为的身体活动干预措施。
