Summary

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancer diseases, globally and locally. Several health benefits of increased physical activity (PA) have been reported for people with cancer. PA plays a critical role across the cancer trajectory, from prevention through to post-diagnosis and has been proposed as an alternative for improving physical and psychosocial health outcomes, reducing cancer recurrence, and cancer-specific and all-cause mortality.

Although there are a variety of exercise intervention programs for cancer patients, those programs were quite intensive, requiring individuals to commit extra time and effort. Feeling of overwhelmed appointments, lack of time, other barriers, including high cost and limited access to facilities are the most frequently reported barriers that prevent people from starting and maintaining exercise. Hence, the investigators propose to use a brief messaging lifestyle modification intervention program to incorporating simple and easy-to-do patient-centred home-based lifestyle-integrated exercise into daily activities of patients with lung cancer. The aims are to increase patients' physical activity and improve their fatigue, emotion and quality of life, compared to the control group.

Conditions

  • Cancer, Lung

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Lifestyle-integrated exercise

The experimental group will receive a face-to-face group session and a package of instant messages related to lifestyle-integrated exercise and physical activity. The lifestyle-integrated exercise is modified from Zero-time exercise. It focuses on four exercise domains that patients with lung cancer could be done at home, including breathing, balance, aerobic, strength, stretching exercises

BEHAVIORAL

Healthy living information

The control group will receive a face-to-face group session and a package healthy living instant messages, but not related to lifestyle-integrated exercise and physical activity.
