Official title: Using Information Communication Technology to Deliver Brief Motivational Interviewing to Promote Regular Physical Activity Among Chinese Childhood Cancer Survivors: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This study aims to examine the efficacy of using Information Communication Technology (ICT) to deliver brief Motivational Interviewing (BMI) to promote regular physical activity among Hong Kong Chinese childhood cancer survivors.
Read the detailed description
A substantial body of evidence has indicated that improved childhood cancer survival has inevitably been accompanied by increased chronic physical problems and adverse psychological late-effects of cancer and its treatment. The frequently reported physiological and psychological sequelae included cancer-related fatigue, reduced muscle strength, decreases in functional capacity, activity intolerance, depression and distorted self-esteem, which in turn severely comprises their quality of life.
There is a growing body of evidence highlighting the beneficial effects of physical activity on the physiological and psychological health of childhood cancer survivors. Particularly, substantial evidence reveals that engaging in regular moderate-intensity physical activity can help ameliorate some of the treatment-related adverse effects experienced by childhood cancer survivors, such as reduce cancer-related fatigue, enhance muscle strength, improve cardiovascular fitness and eventually lead to a better quality of life.
Evidence demonstrates that education alone is insufficient or unlikely to change behavior. Motivational interviewing (MI) is a directive, client-centered counseling strategy which differs from prevailing patient education to support clients to explore and resolve their ambivalence about changing their behaviors. Meanwhile, there is an increase in the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) for health care delivery and health promotion. Using instant messaging (i.e. WhatsApp or WeChat) allows quick, direct and continuing professional advice and support for the parents to promote their child's level of physical activity. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of using ICT to deliver BMI to promote regular physical activity among Hong Kong Chinese childhood cancer survivors.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Brief motivational interviewingBehavioural
Children and parents will receive BMI and instant messaging delivered by a trained research nurse. At the time of recruitment, both children and parents will receive an education talk on the significance of and misconceptions about regular physical activity for cancer survivors and strategies for overcoming barriers to engaging in physical activity. Parents will then receive a face-to-face BMI to motivate their children to engage in regular physical activity. Parents will also be encouraged to motivate their children to intensify their physical activity levels progressively, with the ultimate goal of achieving the Global Recommendations on Physical Activity on Health suggested by the World Health Organization. Additionally, they will be invited to download a mobile health application from the Centre for Health Protection, Department of Health, HKSAR website that contains information on physical activity.
Placebo controlBehavioural
Children and parents will receive the education talk on physical activity and ask to download the mobile health application that contains information on physical activity at the time of recruitment similar to the intervention group. However, parents will not receive BMI and instant messaging throughout the study period.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in levels of physical activity from baseline to 12-month follow-up between intervention and control group
The primary outcome measure is the physical activity levels of subjects at 12-month follow-up when compare to baseline. The Chinese University of Hong Kong: Physical Activity Rating for Children and Youth (CUHK-PARCY) will be used to assess participants' physical activity levels. It is a one-item scale, scores ranging from 0-2, 3-6 and 7-10 indicate low, moderate and high levels of physical activity respectively.
Measured: 12-month follow-up

Primary outcome
Change in levels of physical activity from baseline to 12-month follow-up between intervention and control group
Time frame: 12-month follow-up
The primary outcome measure is the physical activity levels of subjects at 12-month follow-up when compare to baseline. The Chinese University of Hong Kong: Physical Activity Rating for Children and Youth (CUHK-PARCY) will be used to assess participants' physical activity levels. It is a one-item scale, scores ranging from 0-2, 3-6 and 7-10 indicate low, moderate and high levels of physical activity respectively.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Brief motivational interviewing in people with Childhood Cancer, run by The University of Hong Kong at 2 sites in 2 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 0 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in China, Hong Kong. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
