Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study adapts and assesses the effect of a multicomponent physical activity intervention in reducing psychosocial distress in cancer patients. This study aims to develop a program to help increase physical activity and reduce stress in cancer survivors who live in rural areas.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To adapt a multicomponent intervention (HH+AIM) that assesses the perspective of health care provider and cancer survivors about:
Ia. Needs related to psychosocial distress and health behaviors in rural patients with cancer.
Ib. Needs related to implementing interventions within the treatment setting. Ic. Barriers to intervention delivery/participate. Id. Preferred means/methods for referring participants and receiving information related to the intervention.
