Despite the physical and psychological health benefits associated with physical activity (PA) for breast cancer (BC) survivors, up to 70% of female BC survivors are not meeting minimum recommended PA guidelines. The objective of this study was to evaluate acceptability and satisfaction with Project MOVE, an innovative approach to increase PA among BC survivors through the combination of microgrants and financial incentives.
A mixed-methods design was used. Participants were BC survivors and support individuals with a mean age of 58.5 years. At 6-month follow-up, participants completed a program evaluation questionnaire (n = 72) and participated in focus groups (n = 52) to explore their experience with Project MOVE.
Participants reported that they were satisfied with Project MOVE (86.6%) and that the program was appropriate for BC survivors (96.3%). Four main themes emerged from focus groups: (1) acceptability and satisfaction of Project MOVE, detailing the value of the model in developing tailored group-base PA programs; (2) the importance of Project MOVE leaders, highlighting the value of a leader that was organized and a good communicator; (3) breaking down barriers with Project MOVE, describing how the program helped to address common BC related barriers; and (4) motivation to MOVE, outlining how the microgrants enabled survivors to be active, while the financial incentive motivated them to increase and maintain their PA.
The findings provide support for the acceptability of Project MOVE as a strategy for increasing PA among BC survivors.
尽管身体活动（PA）对乳腺癌（BC）幸存者的身心健康有益，但仍有高达 70%的 BC 幸存者未达到最低推荐 PA 指南。本研究旨在评估 Project MOVE 的可接受性和满意度，这是一种通过小额赠款和财务激励相结合来增加 BC 幸存者 PA 的创新方法。
采用混合方法设计。参与者为 BC 幸存者及其支持人员，平均年龄为 58.5 岁。在 6 个月的随访中，参与者完成了项目评估问卷（n=72）并参加了焦点小组（n=52），以探讨他们对 Project MOVE 的体验。
参与者报告称，他们对 Project MOVE 感到满意（86.6%），并认为该计划适合 BC 幸存者（96.3%）。焦点小组提出了四个主题：（1）Project MOVE 的可接受性和满意度，详细说明了该模型在制定针对 BC 幸存者的个性化团体基础 PA 方案方面的价值；（2）Project MOVE 领导者的重要性，强调了领导者有条理和善于沟通的价值；（3）通过 Project MOVE 克服障碍，描述了该计划如何帮助解决常见的 BC 相关障碍；（4）Project MOVE 的动力，概述了小额赠款如何使幸存者能够活跃起来，而财务激励则激励他们增加和保持 PA。
研究结果为 Project MOVE 作为一种增加 BC 幸存者 PA 的策略的可接受性提供了支持。
