Childhood cancer survivors are at risk for recurrence of their primary cancer as well as other secondary site cancers. The survivors are also at increased risk for long-term effects such as chronic illnesses. Health promoting lifestyles are therefore especially important for childhood cancer survivors. The purpose of the study was to describe the health promoting behaviors of childhood cancer survivors and to determine whether these behaviors are associated with demographic and clinical characteristics. This is a descriptive-comparative study that took place in an oncology follow-up clinic in Israel.
Seventy-seven childhood cancer survivors.
Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile 2, questionnaire (interpersonal relationships, spiritual growth, physical activity, nutrition, health responsibility, and stress management), and smoking and alcohol consumption and a demographic-clinical questionnaire. The mean item score was moderate-high. Survivors scored highest on interpersonal relationships and spiritual growth while the lowest scoring activities were physical activity and nutrition. About 30% of the survivors abstained from smoking and alcohol consumption. Women, as opposed to men, were more likely to have higher scores related to nutrition and interpersonal relationships while singles as opposed to those who were married were found to have higher scores related to spiritual growth.
Health behaviors associated with interpersonal relationships and spiritual growth were more likely to be performed compared to physical activity, good nutrition, and decreased smoking and alcohol consumption. Special attention should be placed on promoting physical activity and good nutrition among survivors of childhood cancer.
儿童癌症幸存者面临原发性癌症复发以及其他继发性癌症的风险。这些幸存者还面临诸如慢性病等长期影响的风险增加。因此，促进健康的生活方式对儿童癌症幸存者尤为重要。本研究的目的是描述儿童癌症幸存者的健康促进行为，并确定这些行为是否与人口统计学和临床特征相关。这是一项在以色列一家肿瘤学随访诊所进行的描述性比较研究。
77名儿童癌症幸存者。
健康促进生活方式量表2、问卷（人际关系、精神成长、身体活动、营养、健康责任和压力管理）、吸烟和饮酒情况以及一份人口统计学-临床问卷。平均项目得分中等偏高。幸存者在人际关系和精神成长方面得分最高，而得分最低的活动是身体活动和营养。约30%的幸存者戒烟戒酒。与男性相比，女性在营养和人际关系方面得分更高，而单身者与已婚者相比，在精神成长方面得分更高。
与身体活动、良好营养以及减少吸烟和饮酒相比，与人际关系和精神成长相关的健康行为更有可能被践行。应特别关注促进儿童癌症幸存者的身体活动和良好营养。
