Details and patient eligibility

About

The aim of this observational and nationwide study is to investigate the knowledge and perceptions of the entire population of Greek specialists and medical residents in pathological oncology regarding physical activity and exercise in patients with cancer. Sub-objectives of the study are to investigate the barriers and facilitating factors in counseling and prescribing exercise in cancer patients. The data collection will be conducted through a validated questionnaire developed in a previous study, which will be sent via an online Google Form platform, ensuring the anonymity and confidentiality of the participants' responses. The questionnaire will include demographic characteristics, four basic scales with mandatory responses (subjective knowledge, attitudes, skills and behaviour in physical activity and exercise) and an optional scale of objective knowledge in physical activity and exercise.
