BACKGROUND/AIM: Physical activities are an essential part of patients' rehabilitation in oncology. For cancer patients special sport groups for rehabilitation exist and are reimbursed by the statutory health system. The aim of our study was to evaluate patients' knowledge and acceptance of these offers and their actual sportive engagement.
We used a standardized questionnaire which was distributed in medical oncology and ENT oncology practice.
From 200 questionnaires, we got 155 (76%) answers (83 females, 71 males, mean age was 64.8±12.0 years. A total of 80 patients had current cancer therapy. Sportive activity was decreasing from 71% before cancer, to 50% during therapy, to 40% after anticancer treatment. Only 24% of participants were informed about local offers for cancer patients. The 38% of our patients would like to become more active. Gender, former sportive experience, favourite disciplines, and the type of cancer are factors with a high impact on patient's affinity to physical exercise.
The presented screening tool offers first and fast information about the patient's affinity to sports and helps the oncologist to offer patients individualized training concepts.
背景/目的:体育活动是肿瘤患者康复的重要组成部分。针对癌症患者设有专门的康复运动小组,且由法定医疗体系予以报销。我们研究的目的是评估患者对这些服务的了解程度、接受度以及他们实际的运动参与情况。
我们使用了一份标准化问卷,该问卷在肿瘤内科和耳鼻喉科肿瘤门诊进行发放。
在200份问卷中,我们获得了155份(76%)回复(83名女性,71名男性,平均年龄为64.8±12.0岁。共有80名患者正在接受癌症治疗。运动活动从癌症前的71%降至治疗期间的50%,抗癌治疗后降至40%。只有24%的参与者了解当地为癌症患者提供的服务。我们38%的患者希望能更积极地运动。性别、既往运动经历、喜爱项目以及癌症类型是对患者体育锻炼意愿有很大影响的因素。
所展示的筛查工具能快速提供有关患者运动意愿的初步信息,并有助于肿瘤学家为患者提供个性化的训练方案。
