Summary
This trial adapts and assesses an existing physical activity intervention to see if it can reduce psychosocial distress for cancer patients in rural areas.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with a history of cancer, particularly those living in rural Texas areas and currently undergoing or recently finished treatment. Participants must be able to engage in moderate physical activity, have internet access, and speak English. It's not for those already meeting physical activity guidelines or with conditions preventing exercise.
What is being tested?
The study tests a program designed to increase physical activity and reduce stress among cancer survivors. It involves behavioral changes through virtual sessions using smartphones or computers, best practices sharing, informational interventions, quality-of-life assessments, and questionnaires.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a non-drug intervention focusing on lifestyle changes like increased physical activity, side effects may include typical exercise-related discomforts such as muscle soreness or fatigue but are generally minimal compared to medicinal treatments.
