Self-Acceptance and Supportive Accountability for Active Living Among Adults Receiving Chemotherapy
Sponsor: University of Oklahoma
Summary
Physical activity can improve health-related quality of life among people receiving cancer treatment. Yet, chemotherapy imposes considerable barriers to maintaining an active lifestyle. Emotion regulation-based approaches based on principles from Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) may help people engage in physical activity despite treatment-related challenges. We aimed to develop and conduct a proof of concept study among people initiating chemotherapy for breast and gynecologic cancers to develop and assess the feasibility and acceptability of a novel, mobile health physical activity intervention that drew from SDT and ACT principles.
