abstract = {While in the past cancer patients were advised to rest,
recent research revealed various beneficial effects of
physical activity, including increased treatment
tolerability during cancer treatment and prolonged survival,
which has led to a paradigm shift in relevant guidelines.
This study examined if this paradigm shift from rest to
activity has been consolidated in health care professionals'
(HCP') attitude. It was investigated if the two dimensions
of attitude (rest and activity) are endorsed empirically
within the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Differences
between physicians and nurses were examined.Five hundred
forty seven physicians and 398 nurses treating breast,
prostate, or colorectal cancer patients completed a
cross-sectional questionnaire. To assess attitude toward
physical activity during cancer treatment, we developed a
15-item scale, which included original statements of HCP.
TPB variables were assessed.A factor analysis revealed the
proposed distinction of attitude into two dimensions. The
activity-paradigm was stronger represented in HCP' attitude
compared with rest-paradigm (Mactivity-paradigm = 4.1
versus Mrest-paradigm = 2.7, p < 0.001). Additionally,
the activity-paradigm had higher exploratory power in
explaining intention to recommend physical activity in
cancer patients. However, the rest-paradigm was able to
explain intention to recommend physical activity over and
above activity-paradigm (ΔR2 = 0.05). Nurses had higher
scores on the rest-paradigm than physicians.The
activity-paradigm has already been consolidated in HCP'
minds. However, the rest-paradigm is still present in the
daily routine of oncology physicians and nurses. Addressing
concerns and insecurities related to supporting cancer
patients in maintaining or building up a physically active
lifestyle is a very important educational task.},
