Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn how many lung cancer survivors will agree to a physical activity program. We also want to know if lung cancer survivors benefit from this program. This information will help us to develop our services for lung cancer survivors.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
1 Arm 1 - Physical Activity intervention	Behavioral: interview and physical activity For Arm 1 participants in the Physical Activity intervention condition will be assessed at baseline, and postintervention Follow-up (at 12 weeks post baseline).
2 Arm 2 - Wait-list control	Behavioral: interview and wait list Participants in the control condition (Arm 2)will be assessed at baseline and 12 weeks post baseline (Follow-up). At this time, the PA intervention will be offered at no cost to the participants in the control condition. If the waitlist participant chooses to complete the PA intervention after the 12 week waitlist period, program satisfaction will be assessed after study completion.

Arm

Intervention/Treatment

Arm 1 - Physical Activity intervention

Behavioral: interview and physical activity

For Arm 1 participants in the Physical Activity intervention condition will be assessed at baseline, and postintervention Follow-up (at 12 weeks post baseline).

Arm 2 - Wait-list control

Behavioral: interview and wait list

Participants in the control condition (Arm 2)will be assessed at baseline and 12 weeks post baseline (Follow-up). At this time, the PA intervention will be offered at no cost to the participants in the control condition. If the waitlist participant chooses to complete the PA intervention after the 12 week waitlist period, program satisfaction will be assessed after study completion.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

To evaluate the feasibility (acceptability, adherence, treatment integrity, retention, participant satisfaction) of implementing a physical activity intervention trial among sedentary and insufficiently active lung cancer survivors. [conclusion of the study]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Obtain preliminary data on effect of a physical activity intervention on functional ability, health-related QOL, dyspnea, fatigue, balance, strength & self-report physical activity among sedentary and insufficiently active lung cancer survivors [conclusion of the study]
To obtain preliminary data on factors associated with feasibility using variables from Social Cognitive Theory and assess their relationship with treatment adherence and dropout. [conclusion of the study]
