While exercise after breast cancer treatment is important, some breast cancer survivors (BCS) find it difficult to maintain motivation for physical activity (PA).
To investigate Danish female BCS' motivation to play Football Fitness (FF) after the termination of a research project (Football Fitness After Breast Cancer), and whether the participation influenced occupational identity and adaptation.
Two qualitative focus group interviews with seven female BCS (53 ± 5 years; ± SD) were performed. The interviews were analyzed to identify the forms of motivation experienced according to Self-Determination Theory using thematic analysis.
Due to increasing connections and recognition of one another, FF gradually became meaningful and a part of the women's occupational identity. They experienced increasing cohesion and competence through common experiences, thus increasingly identifying as a unit. The women reported that they gradually adopted healthier lifestyles by participating in FF, which positively impacted other diagnoses for some.
Recognition of one another impacted intrinsic motivation. Similarly, as the women felt more competent playing FF, it became a part of their occupational identity leading to an effective adaptation. Access to FF as an integral part of rehabilitation for female BCS may be a way to support long-term PA and to adapt a new occupational identity.
虽然乳腺癌治疗后的运动很重要，但一些乳腺癌幸存者发现很难保持体育活动的动力。
调查丹麦女性乳腺癌幸存者在一项研究项目（乳腺癌后的足球健身）结束后参与足球健身（FF）的动机，以及参与是否影响职业认同和适应。
对七名女性乳腺癌幸存者（53±5岁；平均值±标准差）进行了两次定性焦点小组访谈。使用主题分析法对访谈进行分析，以确定根据自我决定理论所体验到的动机形式。
由于彼此之间联系的增加和相互认可，足球健身逐渐变得有意义，并成为这些女性职业认同的一部分。她们通过共同经历体验到了更强的凝聚力和能力，从而越来越认同自己是一个整体。这些女性报告说，通过参与足球健身，她们逐渐养成了更健康的生活方式，这对一些人的其他疾病诊断产生了积极影响。
相互认可影响了内在动机。同样，随着这些女性在足球健身中感觉更有能力，它成为了她们职业认同的一部分，从而实现了有效的适应。将足球健身作为女性乳腺癌幸存者康复不可或缺的一部分，可能是支持长期体育活动和适应新职业认同的一种方式。
