Research-Practice Partnership to Implement Physical Activity Maintenance Strategies in Community-based Exercise
Background:
Community-based exercise programs can help cancer survivors increase physical activity (PA) but sustaining this behavior is challenging.
Objective:
Utilize a research-practice partnership framework to explore perceptions of implementing evidence-informed intervention strategies to support PA maintenance and engaging in the partnership.
Methods:
Professionals (n = 7) who were involved with the delivery of one of four community-based exercise programs for cancer survivors participated in semi-structured interviews. Audio recordings were transcribed, data were coded using an inductive approach and thematically analyzed.
Results:
Themes were the perceived value of maintaining PA for cancer survivors, a need for program adaptations and funding to sustain intervention strategies, and the importance of clear communication to foster a respectful collaboration.
Conclusions:
Findings will contribute to a study an adaptive PA maintenance intervention and can be applied to future research-practice partnerships in exercise oncology to help advance our understanding of how to implement and provide support for PA maintenance.
