项目摘要

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重要的公共卫生目标。相对较少的生存研究吸引了妇科癌症幸存者。仍然有机会确定生活方式干预措施有效地改善该人群的生活质量。此外，研究表明，在癌症幸存者的配偶/伴侣中，生活质量也受到损害。相对未知的是如何设计和提供干预措施，以促进癌症幸存者及其配偶/伴侣的健康和福祉。在拟议的研究中，我们具有以下目的：（1）在妇科癌症幸存者及其配偶/伴侣中建立基于夫妻的舞蹈干预（节奏）的可行性和可接受性；（2）量化以下终点的潜在影响（和变化）：与健康相关的生活质量（HRQOL），关系调整，体育锻炼和功能；（3）确定理论结构，以介导干预与结果之间的关系；（4）确定对参与者的干预成本。方法：我们将使用等待名单的控制设计，并从肿瘤学诊所和阿拉巴马州癌症注册表中招募50个妇科癌症幸存者及其配偶/伴侣。幸存者将完成其主要的癌症治疗。干预臂的参与者将在弗雷德·阿斯特（Fred Astaire）舞蹈工作室提供的12周期间（以情侣为基础的舞蹈）中获得舞蹈课。 HRQOL（即SF36），关系调整，身体活动和身体功能（即6分钟步行测试），将在基线，干预后立即进行评估，并在干预后6个月进行评估。癌症幸存者及其伴侣将衡量结果。意义：在整个癌症连续体中提供优质的癌症护理是国家的优先事项。我们基于合作伙伴的舞蹈干预是一种新颖的方法，可增强生活质量，增强关系成果，并促进妇科癌症幸存者及其伴侣的健康生活方式。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的人的健康和福祉的举措提供信息。公共卫生影响：与医学研究所提供癌症护理的目标一致，以促进健康的生活方式并改善癌症幸存者的生活质量，我们的新型研究将探索干预措施（基于夫妇的舞蹈）在改善癌症幸存者及其伴侣这些结果方面的潜力。在这种独特的方法中，我们测试了许多社区已经可用的干预措施的功效。如果认为舞蹈干预措施有效，那么对类似程序的广泛传播的潜力就很棒。公共卫生相关性：维持癌症幸存者的健康和福祉是重要的公共卫生目标。在这项创新的研究中，我们将与基于夫妇的舞蹈干预措施与妇科癌症幸存者及其配偶/伴侣进行互动。我们将确定提供此干预措施的可行性和可接受性，并评估其对LFE质量，体育活动和功能的影响以及癌症幸存者及其配偶/伴侣的关系调整。
