What is helpful and not? Patients’ opinions and beliefs of how to support reduced sedentary behavior during cancer treatment—a thematic analysis

Interventions for reducing SB may benefit from addressing several aspects from the patient's life and focusing on replacing SB with daily activities and not only on health-enhancing physical activity. Healthcare staff should provide early information and continuous encouragement for patients about reducing sedentary behavior during oncological treatment. Collaboration with patients to identify and implement practical strategies such as support from family and friends, workplace adaptations, and goal setting may be helpful.

Abstract

Interventions for reducing SB may benefit from addressing several aspects from the patient's life and focusing on replacing SB with daily activities and not only on health-enhancing physical activity. Healthcare staff should provide early information and continuous encouragement for patients about reducing sedentary behavior during oncological treatment. Collaboration with patients to identify and implement practical strategies such as support from family and friends, workplace adaptations, and goal setting may be helpful.
