A Practical Approach to Using Integrated Knowledge Translation to Inform a Community-Based Exercise Study

Background: Our aim was to understand cancer survivor needs prior to, and following the Alberta Cancer Exercise (ACE) pilot randomized trial as a means to inform implementation of a province-wide cancer-specific, community-based exercise program. Methods: Questionnaires and semi-structured stakehold...

description Background: Our aim was to understand cancer survivor needs prior to, and following the Alberta Cancer Exercise (ACE) pilot randomized trial as a means to inform implementation of a province-wide cancer-specific, community-based exercise program. Methods: Questionnaires and semi-structured stakeholder engagement sessions were conducted with cancer survivors to explore preferences, barriers and facilitators/benefits at two timepoints: (1) pre-ACE: prior to initiation of the ACE pilot trial (n = 13 survivors and n = 5 caregivers); and (2) post-ACE: following participation in the ACE pilot trial (n = 20 survivors). Descriptive statistics were used to summarize quantitative data from questionnaires. Stakeholder engagement data were analyzed using a framework analysis approach. Emergent themes were then mapped to actionable outcomes. Results: Pre-ACE, survivors indicated a preference for exercise programs that were (1) supervised by exercise specialists knowledgeable about cancer, (2) included support from other health care providers, (3) were held in community locations that were easily accessible. Post-ACE, participants identified (1) a lack of exercise counseling from health care providers, (2) the need for earlier introduction of exercise in the care pathway, and (3) supported referral to exercise programming. Conclusions: An integrated knowledge translation approach identified actionable outcomes to address survivor needs related to exercise in clinical cancer and community-based contexts.
