| Project Title |
Co-creating in-hospital physical activity programming to enhance health for children during treatment for cancer |
| Funding Duration |
2019-2020 |
| Award Value |
$10,000 |
| Proposed Method/Science |
Mixed-methods longitudinal study |
| Project Summary |
In-hospital physical activity during treatment for childhood cancer is proven to have clear benefits and is widely advocated, though not implemented within service delivery in Canada. This Mixed-Methods Longitudinal project will produce an in-hospital physical activity program that will be disseminated to pediatric oncology units across Canada. Data collected will be analyzed using the hybrid inductive-deductive approach which will be guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research framework. Stakeholder engagement is anticipated to facilitate buy-in for the program co-creation phase later on. |
| Anticipated Impact |
The study will fill the gap of patient engagement in pediatric oncology service delivery. The program produced will be disseminated to pediatric oncology units across Canada, serving as a sustainable implementation model for in-hospital physical activity. |
