Abstract(s)
Background: Vários estudos revelaram que a prática de atividade física é segura e
benéfica para a maioria dos sobreviventes de cancro antes, durante e após o
tratamento, favorecendo a saúde mental e, consequentemente, a qualidade de vida.
Objetivos: Este estudo pretendeu (1) traduzir e validar uma versão preliminar de um
questionário que avalia a atividade física em tempo de lazer, designadamente, o Godin
Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire (GLETQ), bem como fornecer uma descrição da
estrutura fatorial e dos índices de confiabilidade associados; (2) analisar se existem
diferenças entre os níveis de atividade física em função de algumas características
sociodemográficas; (3) avaliar as diferenças entre a classificação do GLETQ Total em
função da depressão, ansiedade e qualidade de vida; e, por fim, (4) avaliar a saúde
mental dos sobreviventes de cancro atendendo aos níveis de depressão e ansiedade e a
sua relação com a prática de atividade física e com a qualidade de vida. Método: A
amostra contou com 55 sobreviventes de cancro, com uma idade compreendida entre
os 40 e os 84 anos (M= 62.27; DP= 11.91). Os dados foram recolhidos através do
questionário sociodemográfico e clínico, o questionário de prática de exercício físico, o
questionário de acompanhamentos clínicos, o Questionário Sobre a Saúde do Paciente
(PHQ-9), o Questionário de Perturbação de Ansiedade Generalizada (GAD-7), o
European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life
Questionnaire Core-30 (EORTC QLQ-C30, versão 3), o Questionário Internacional de
Atividade Física – versão curta (IPAQ-SF); e o GLETQ. Resultados: O GLETQ tem
propriedades psicométricas fracas em termos de confiabilidade e validade. De um
modo geral, as interações entre a atividade física e a depressão, bem como a atividade
física e ansiedade são preditores de melhor qualidade de vida. Conclusão: A atividade
física parece contribuir para melhorar a qualidade de vida dos sobreviventes de cancro,
moderando o impacto negativo da sintomatologia psicopatológica.
Background: Several studies have shown that physical activity is safe and beneficial for most cancer survivors before, during, and after treatment, favoring mental health and, consequently, quality of life. Objectives: This study aimed (1) to translate and validate a preliminary version of a questionnaire that assesses leisure-time physical activity, namely the Godin Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire (GLETQ), as well as to describe the factor structure and associated reliability indices; (2) to analyze whether there are differences between physical activity levels and some sociodemographic characteristics; (3) to assess the differences between the GLETQ Total classification in terms of depression, anxiety and quality of life; and finally, (4) to assess the mental health of cancer survivors in terms of levels of depression and anxiety and their relationship with physical activity and quality of life. Method: The sample comprised 55 cancer survivors aged between 40 and 84 (M= 62.27; SD= 11.91). Data was collected using the sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, the exercise practice questionnaire, the clinical follow-up questionnaire, the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), the Generalised Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire (GAD-7), the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core30 (EORTC QLQ-C30, version 3), the International Physical Activity Questionnaire - short version (IPAQ-SF); and the GLETQ. Results: The GLETQ has weak psychometric properties regarding reliability and validity. In general, the interactions between physical activity and depression, as well as physical activity and anxiety, are predictors of better quality of life. Conclusion: Physical activity can contribute to improving the quality of life of cancer survivors by moderating the negative impact of psychopathological symptoms.
