Summary
This trial will examine how 4 mHealth interventions can help breast cancer survivors increase their physical activity and improve symptom burden, activity intensity and sleep quality.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for female breast cancer survivors, aged 18 or older, with a Stage I-III diagnosis in the past 5 years and less than 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week. They must have internet access, a smartphone, speak English fluently, and be post-primary treatment. Buddies supporting them should also meet similar criteria.
What is being tested?
The study tests how different mHealth components like social support (E-Coach or Buddy) and mindfulness training (general or MVPA-specific) affect physical activity levels over a period of up to one year in breast cancer survivors.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-medical interventions focusing on exercise and mindfulness training, traditional side effects associated with medications are not expected. Participants may experience fatigue or stress related to new activities.
