Predicting Engagement With Online Walking Promotion Among Metropolitan and Rural Cancer Survivors
Conclusions
The intervention was successful in increasing physical activity postintervention; however, changes were not maintained at follow-up. There were no region-specific predictors of engagement in the intervention.
Implications for Practice
Nurses are seamlessly positioned to promote health interventions like walking. Nurses should reframe physical activity with patients so that relapse is seen as common and possibly inevitable when adopting a regular physical activity habit.
