DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Promoting the health and well-being of cancer survivors is an important public health goal. Relatively little survivorship research has engaged gynecological cancer survivors. Opportunities remain to identify lifestyle interventions efficacious in improving quality of life in this population. Moreover, research suggests that quality of life is also compromised in the spouses/partners of cancer survivors. Relatively unknown is how to design and deliver interventions that promote the health and well-being of both the cancer survivor and their spouse/partner. In the proposed study, we have the following Aims: (1) Establish the feasibility and acceptability of a couples-based dance intervention (RHYTHM) among gynecological cancer survivors and their spouses/partners; (2) Quantify potential effects (and variation) on the following endpoints: health-related quality of life (HRQOL), relationship adjustment, physical activity and functioning; (3) Identify theoretical constructs that mediate the relationship between the intervention and outcomes; and (4) Determine the cost of the intervention to participants. Methods: We will use a wait-list control design and enroll 50 gynecological cancer survivors and their spouses/partners recruited from oncology clinics and the Alabama State Cancer Registry. Survivors will have completed their primary cancer treatment. Participants in the intervention arm will receive dance lessons over a 12-week period (couples-based dance) provided by Fred Astaire Dance studios. HRQOL (i.e., SF36), relationship adjustment, physical activity and physical function (i.e., 6-minute walk test), will be assessed at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and 6 months post- intervention. Outcomes will be measured in both cancer survivors and their partners. Significance: Delivering quality cancer care across the cancer continuum is a national priority. Our partner-based dance intervention is a novel approach to enhancing quality of life, enhancing relationship outcomes, and promoting a healthy lifestyle in gynecologic cancer survivors and their partners. Results of this exploratory study will inform initiatives that seek to maintain the health and well-being of cancer survivors and those they love. Public Health Impact: Consistent with the Institute of Medicine's goal to deliver cancer care that promotes a healthy lifestyle and improves quality of life of cancer survivors, our novel study will explore the potential of an intervention (couple-based dance) on improving these outcomes for both cancer survivors and their partners. In this unique approach, we test the efficacy of an intervention already available in many communities. If dance interventions are deemed efficacious, the potential for broad based dissemination of similar programs is great. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Maintaining the health and well-being of cancer survivors is an important public health goal. In this innovative study, we will engage gynecological cancer survivors and their spouses/partners in a couple-based dance intervention. We will establish the feasibility and acceptability of delivering this intervention and assess its impact on quality of lfe, physical activity and function, and relationship adjustment in both cancer survivors and their spouses/partners.

描述（由申请人提供）：促进癌症幸存者的健康和福祉是一项重要的公共卫生目标。针对妇科癌症幸存者的生存研究相对较少。仍然有机会确定有效改善该人群生活质量的生活方式干预措施。此外，研究表明癌症幸存者的配偶/伴侣的生活质量也受到影响。相对未知的是如何设计和实施促进癌症幸存者及其配偶/伴侣的健康和福祉的干预措施。在拟议的研究中，我们有以下目标：（1）确定妇科癌症幸存者及其配偶/伴侣中基于夫妻的舞蹈干预（RHYTHM）的可行性和可接受性； (2) 量化对以下终点的潜在影响（和变化）：健康相关的生活质量（HRQOL）、关系调整、身体活动和功能； (3) 确定调节干预和结果之间关系的理论结构； (4) 确定参与者的干预成本。方法：我们将采用等候名单对照设计，招募从肿瘤诊所和阿拉巴马州癌症登记处招募的 50 名妇科癌症幸存者及其配偶/伴侣。幸存者将完成他们的主要癌症治疗。干预组的参与者将接受 Fred Astaire 舞蹈工作室提供的为期 12 周的舞蹈课程（情侣舞蹈）。 HRQOL（即SF36）、关系调整、体力活动和身体机能（即6分钟步行测试）、 将在基线、干预后立即和干预后 6 个月进行评估。结果将在癌症幸存者及其伴侣中进行衡量。意义：在整个癌症过程中提供优质的癌症护理是国家的首要任务。我们以伴侣为基础的舞蹈干预是一种新颖的方法，可以提高妇科癌症幸存者及其伴侣的生活质量、改善关系结果并促进健康的生活方式。这项探索性研究的结果将为旨在维持癌症幸存者及其所爱之人的健康和福祉的举措提供信息。公共健康影响：与医学研究所的目标一致，即提供癌症护理，促进健康的生活方式并提高癌症幸存者的生活质量，我们的新研究将探索干预措施（基于情侣的舞蹈）在改善这些结果方面的潜力癌症幸存者及其伴侣。通过这种独特的方法，我们测试了许多社区已有的干预措施的有效性。如果舞蹈干预被认为是有效的，那么广泛传播类似项目的潜力是巨大的。 公共卫生相关性：维持癌症幸存者的健康和福祉是一项重要的公共卫生目标。在这项创新研究中，我们将让妇科癌症幸存者及其配偶/伴侣参与基于夫妻的舞蹈干预。我们将确定实施这种干预措施的可行性和可接受性，并评估其对癌症幸存者及其配偶/伴侣的生活质量、身体活动和功能以及关系调整的影响。
