Cancer survivors engage in suboptimal levels of health behaviours and report many barriers to health behaviours, but we lack a solid understanding of the different levels of barriers and how they relate to enacted health behaviours. To address these issues, we conducted mixed-method research in 97 breast cancer survivors. Participants' barriers to physical activity (PA) and healthy diet, asked as an open-ended question, were coded as individual-level, social-level, and organisational\/environmental-level for each health behaviour. Moderate-to-vigorous PA and fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake were assessed. Most participants perceived at least one PA (72.7%) and diet (64.9%) individual-level barrier (e.g. physical symptoms\/injury); only 15.2% (PA) and 15.6% (diet) reported at least one social-level barrier (e.g. family obligations). About 28.8% (PA) and 29.9% (diet) perceived at least one organisational\/environmental-level barrier (e.g. job demand, cost of F&V). Survivors perceiving individual-level dietary barriers consumed less F&V (-.65 servings\/day) than those not perceiving dietary barriers at this level. Survivors perceiving social-level dietary barriers reported marginally lower F&V intake (-.65 servings\/day) than their counterparts. Those perceiving organisational\/environmental-level PA barriers reported marginally fewer minutes (-44.30\/week) of moderate-to-vigorous PA than their counterparts. Barriers at multiple levels should be addressed to improve health behaviours among breast cancer survivors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","mots_cles":[],"class_list":["post-12362","resume","type-resume","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"adresse":"Department of Psychological Sciences, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT, USA.","annee":"2017","mois":"9","numero":"","page":"","auteurs":[{"ID":11893,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 18:40:27","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 17:40:27","post_content":"","post_title":"Denise Claudino Ach\u00f4a","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"denise-claudino-achoa","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 18:40:27","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 17:40:27","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/denise-claudino-achoa\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12361,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 18:45:39","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 17:45:39","post_content":"","post_title":"C L Park","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"c-l-park","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 18:45:39","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 17:45:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/c-l-park\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"sources":[{"ID":6674,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 17:40:41","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 16:40:41","post_content":"","post_title":"European journal of cancer care","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"european-journal-of-cancer-care","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 17:40:41","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 16:40:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/source\/european-journal-of-cancer-care\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"source","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}]},"yoast_head":"\n
