A mixed-methods study by Margaret McNeely, harvested from Borealis Dataverse in April 2026. The dataset contains survey and focus group results from 26 participants, exploring exercise-related barriers, facilitators, and preferences for individuals with cancer undergoing chemotherapy before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Findings aim to inform the implementation of prehabilitation interventions.
Use Cases
- Identify key barriers to exercise adherence based on patient-reported limitations in knowledge, skills, and emotional toll.
- Design patient-centered intervention structures based on preferences for program scheduling, delivery mode, and support.
- Evaluate the role of healthcare provider support and social support as facilitators for exercise prehabilitation.
- Inform educational content for pre-transplant patients based on reported gaps in knowledge about safe exercise practices.
Strengths
- Data is grounded in a theoretical framework (Theoretical Domains Framework) for analysis.
- Includes both quantitative survey data (n=26) and qualitative focus group insights (n=11).
- Specific participant statistics are provided, such as 81% knowing exercise benefits and 50% feeling confident in their ability.
Limitations
- Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and structure require manual inspection after download.
- Sample size of 26 participants may limit generalizability of findings.
