简要总结
The purpose of this research is to implement and evaluate the feasibility of Project MOVE, a program aimed to increase physical activity among breast cancer survivors through microgrants and financial incentives.
详细描述
Despite the physical and psychological health benefits associated with physical activity for breast cancer survivors, up to 70% of female breast survivors are not meeting minimum recommended physical activity guidelines. The purpose of this research was to develop, implement and assess the feasibility of Project MOVE, an innovative approach to increase physical activity among breast cancer survivors through the use of Action Grants, a combination of microgrants (small amounts of money awarded to groups of individuals to support a physical activity initiative) and financial incentives. Twelve groups of 8-12 adult women who are breast cancer survivors (N=132) were recruited for the study via face-to-face meetings with breast cancer-related stakeholders, local print and radio media, social media, and pamphlets and posters at community organisations and medical clinics. Each group submitted a microgrant application outlining their proposed physical activity initiative. Successful applicants were determined by a grant review panel and informed of a financial incentive upon meeting their physical activity goals. Primary (program feasibility) and secondary (physical activity, quality of life, motivation to exercise and social connection) outcome measures were evaluated using a mixed-methods approach including focus groups, self-reported questionnaires, semi-structured telephone interviews and objective physical activity measures. Measures were collected at baseline, post-intervention (6 months) and 12-month follow-up. Findings from this study were used to asses the implementation and feasibility of Project MOVE as a strategy for increasing physical activity among breast cancer survivors.

研究组 & 干预措施
Single-Arm Feasibility Study
Participant determined 6-month physical activity program
干预措施: Single-Arm Feasibility Study (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Program Feasibility (questionnaire)
时间窗: Post-intervention (6 months)
Program feasibility will be evaluated using mixed-methods, including a questionnaire, focus groups and semi-structured telephone interviews. A 5-point Likert-scale questionnaire with 1 being "strongly disagree" and 5 being "strongly agree" will be one method used to measure feasibility. Questions will focus on program satisfaction, program appropriateness and participant's perceived confidence to engage in physical activity and continue to engage in physical activity in the long term.
Program Feasibility (focus groups)
时间窗: Post-intervention (6 months)
Program feasibility will also be measured using focus groups. Focus groups with each of the Project MOVE groups (ranging 8 to 12 participants per group) will be conducted at the 6-month follow-up. All group members will be invited to participate. Questions will pertain to participants' experiences of Project MOVE specific to adoption, implementation, and maintenance. The focus groups will be audio recorded with a digital SonyTM recorder (ICD-PX333) and transcribed verbatim.
Program Feasibility (interviews)
时间窗: 1-4 weeks post-intervention 6 month follow-up
Program feasibility will also be measured using semi-structured interviews with each of the group leaders. Phone interviews will be scheduled within 1-4 weeks after the 6-month follow-up data collection period. Open ended questions will be utilized and will focus on the microgrant application process, challenges and enablers to leading a Project MOVE group, and the leader's perception of group member's experiences with Project MOVE. Phone interviews will be recorded using the digital SonyTM recorder (ICD-PX333) and transcribed verbatim.
