Abstract

Physical activity (PA) may improve quality of life and survival among cancer survivors; however, little is known about Navajo cancer survivor PA. We evaluated Navajo cancer survivor PA habits, barriers, and preferences through focus groups and interviews (n = 32). Transcripts were coded in NVivo and major themes summarized by consensus. Survivor exercise guidelines were largely unknown, but movement, resilience and life balance were valued. Most participants reported at ≥1 mode of current PA (n = 24; 71% walking, 46% work/homesteading). Barriers to PA included treatment side effects, limited access to programs, fear of "over doing it," and family/friends encouraging rest. Preferences for PA varied.

纳瓦霍癌症幸存者的体育活动：定性研究。

体育锻炼（PA）可提高癌症幸存者的生活质量和生存率；然而，人们对纳瓦霍癌症幸存者的体育锻炼知之甚少。我们通过焦点小组和访谈（n = 32）评估了纳瓦霍癌症幸存者的体育锻炼习惯、障碍和偏好。我们在 NVivo 中对记录誊本进行了编码，并在达成共识的基础上对主要主题进行了总结。幸存者的运动指南大多不为人知，但运动、复原力和生活平衡受到重视。大多数参与者报告了≥1 种当前的运动锻炼模式（n = 24；71% 步行，46% 工作/居家）。进行体育锻炼的障碍包括治疗副作用、参加活动的机会有限、害怕 "做过头 "以及家人/朋友鼓励休息。PA 的偏好各不相同。
