This pilot study explored predictors of adherence to exercise during and after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT) in rectal cancer patients. Eighteen rectal cancer patients were prescribed three supervised aerobic exercise sessions/week during NACRT followed by ≥150 min/week of unsupervised aerobic exercise after NACRT. Although not statistically significant, adherence to supervised exercise during NACRT was meaningfully better for patients who were women (d = .82; P = .12), younger (d = -.62; P = .30), married (d = .62; P = .42), with better mental health (r = .32; P = .21), fewer diarrhea symptoms (r = .48; P = .052), and higher anticipated enjoyment (r = .31; P = .23), support (r = .32; P = .22), and motivation (r = .31; P = .23). After NACRT, adherence was significantly better for patients who reported worse mental health (r = -.56; P = .046) and meaningfully better for patients who were women (d = .54; P = .38), better educated (d = .77; P = .22), had no comorbidities (d = -.63; P = .17), and exercised at baseline (d = 1.05; P = .12). Demographics, tumor side effects, and motivational variables may predict adherence to exercise during and after NACRT.
这项初步研究旨在探讨直肠癌患者在新辅助放化疗(NACRT)期间和之后坚持锻炼的预测因素。18 名直肠癌患者在 NACRT 期间被规定每周进行 3 次监督性有氧运动,NACRT 后每周进行≥150 分钟的非监督性有氧运动。尽管没有统计学意义,但对于女性(d=0.82;P=0.12)、年轻(d=-0.62;P=0.30)、已婚(d=0.62;P=0.42)、心理健康状况较好(r=0.32;P=0.21)、腹泻症状较少(r=0.48;P=0.052)、预期享受度较高(r=0.31;P=0.23)、支持度较高(r=0.32;P=0.22)和动机度较高(r=0.31;P=0.23)的患者,其 NACRT 期间监督性锻炼的依从性有显著提高。NACRT 后,心理健康状况较差的患者(r=-0.56;P=0.046)、女性(d=-0.54;P=0.38)、教育程度较高(d=0.77;P=0.22)、无合并症(d=-0.63;P=0.17)和基线运动(d=1.05;P=0.12)的患者,其依从性显著提高。人口统计学、肿瘤副作用和动机变量可能预测 NACRT 期间和之后的锻炼依从性。
