Abstract:
The aim of this review was to explore the acceptability, opportunities, and challenges associated with wearable activity-monitoring technology to increase physical activity (PA) behavior in cancer survivors. A search of Medline, Embase, CINAHL, and SportDiscus was conducted from 1 January 2011 through 3 October 2022. The search was limited to English language, and peer-reviewed original research. Studies were included if they reported the use of an activity monitor in adults (+18 years) with a history of cancer with the intent to motivate PA behavior. Our search identified 1832 published articles, of which 28 met inclusion/exclusion criteria. Eighteen of these studies included post-treatment cancer survivors, eight were on active cancer treatment, and two were long-term cancer survivor studies. ActiGraph accelerometers were the primary technology used to monitor PA behaviors, with Fitbit as the most commonly utilized self-monitoring wearable technology. Overall, wearable activity monitors were found to be an acceptable and useful tool in improving self-awareness, motivating behavioral change, and increasing PA levels. Self-monitoring wearable activity devices have a positive impact on short-term PA behaviors in cancer survivors, but the increase in PA gradually attenuated through the maintenance phase. Further study is needed to evaluate and increase the sustainability of the use of wearable technologies to support PA in cancer survivors.
摘要:
这篇综述的目的是探讨可接受性,机遇,以及与可穿戴活动监测技术相关的挑战,以增加癌症幸存者的身体活动(PA)行为。搜索Medline,Embase,CINAHL,SportDiscus于2011年1月1日至2022年10月3日进行。搜索仅限于英语,和同行评审的原创性研究。如果他们报告了在具有癌症史的成年人(18岁以上)中使用活动监测器以激发PA行为,则包括研究。我们的搜索发现了1832篇发表的文章,其中28人符合纳入/排除标准。其中18项研究包括治疗后的癌症幸存者,八人正在积极治疗癌症,还有两项是长期癌症幸存者研究。ActiGraph加速度计是用于监测PA行为的主要技术,Fitbit作为最常用的自监测可穿戴技术。总的来说,可穿戴活动监视器被发现是一个可以接受和有用的工具,在提高自我意识,激励行为改变,增加PA水平。自我监测可穿戴活动设备对癌症幸存者的短期PA行为有积极影响。但是PA的增加在维持阶段逐渐减弱。需要进一步的研究来评估和增加可穿戴技术在癌症幸存者中支持PA的使用的可持续性。
