A paper published in BMC Cancer, showed the clinical benefits of an e-health enabled health promotion intervention post cancer and reported the possible improvement of quality of life in women recovering from cancer treatment (of breast, blood or gynaecological cancers).
Women’s Wellness after Cancer Program (WWACP) structured a 12-week program that included online coaching which focused on activity, healthy diet, stress and menopause management, sexual wellbeing, smoking cessation, alcohol intake and sleep hygiene for these women.
Post the 12-week lifestyle program, the participants reported statistically significant improvements in general health, bodily pain, vitality, and global physical and mental health scores.
The lifestyle program concluded that lifestyle factors influence health behaviour and show real potential for immediate and sustainable change in cancer patients.
