PhD thesis, USM.
Abstract
Aktiviti fizikal merupakan salah satu pendekatan yang dikenal pasti digunakan untuk
memperbaiki proses pemulihan dan meningkatkan kualiti hidup bekas pesakit kanser
payudara. Walaupun faedah peningkatan kesihatan aktiviti fizikal ke atas
keseluruhan dan kesejahteraan kualiti hidup telah diketahui, namun, tiada kajian
pernah dilakukan di kalangan pesakit kanser payudara di Malaysia. Kajian ini
meneliti profil dan pola aktiviti fizikal, menyiasat faktor-faktor yang berkaitan
dengan penyertaan aktiviti fizikal dan meneroka hubungan antara aktiviti fizikal dan
kualiti hidup di kalangan pesakit kanser payudara wanita. Juga, kajian ini menilai
kemungkinan dan keberkesanan intervensi fizikal bagi meningkatkan penglibatan
dalam aktiviti fizikal, kualiti hidup dan lain-lain bentuk ‘penjagaan sokongan’
Physical activity is one of the identified approaches used to better the recovery and
enhance quality of life of breast cancer survivors. Despite established health
enhancement benefit of physical activity on the overall quality of life and well-being,
studies amongst Malaysian breast cancer survivors are limited. This study examined
the physical activity profile and pattern, investigated the associated factors for
physical activity participation and explored the relationship between physical activity
and quality of life among the breast cancer women. Also, the study assessed
feasibility and effectiveness of a physical intervention to improve physical activity
participation, quality of life and other ‘supportive care end’ points
