研究目的:

To examine the effects of a dance-based multimodal exercise programme when compared to usual care for the management of CIPN in CRC patients across the 3-month post-intervention period. The objectives include (1) To examine the effects of the programme on CIPN (primary outcome) at immediately, one-month and three-month post-intervention; and (2) To examine the effects of the programme on pain, balance, quality of life and anxiety (secondary outcomes) at immediately, one-month and three-month post intervention; and (3) To examine the effects of the programme on knowledge, motivation and self-efficacy of exercise (process outcomes) at immediately, one-month and three-month post intervention; and (4) To assess any adverse effects of the programme; and (5) To explore the perceived benefits, barriers and areas for improvement after participating the programme.

Sample size:

干预措施:

This study adopts the components in Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model in a dance-based multimodal exercise program, which integrates the dance-components in a multimodal exercise program. Zumba Gold dance which encompasses endurance, resistance, balance and flexibility training will be adopted in this study. Before the intervention, participants will be asked to set exercise goals. It is a six-weekly Zumba Gold dance carried out in the community cancer centers, including Cancer Information Charity Foundation, Jockey Club of Institute Cancer Care, and Christian Family Service Centre. Each dance group consists of five to ten participants. In total, there are six face-to-face dance sessions. Each session lasts for 75 minutes. The 75-minute class will be structured as follows: approximately ten minutes dedicated to vital sign measurement and revision of previously learned skills, followed by a 50-minute multimodal exercise session that includes warm-up, workout, and cool-down exercises based on the Zumba Gold manual (Zumba Fitness, 2011), and concluding with a 15-minute sharing session. A study by Zimmer et al. (2018) demonstrated that a similar 50-minute multimodal exercise program was well-tolerated among patients with advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). After each session, videos of dance skills will be sent to participants for the revision via Whatsapp. Participants will be encouraged to do self-practice at home. Safety precautions about self-practice are included in the videos. Participants will learn all dance skills, including warm-up dance, Merengue, Salsa, Cumbia, Belly dance, Flamenco, Tango and cool-down dance in first four sessions, followed by two revision sessions of all dance skills in fifth and sixth sessions. Participants with balance problems (baseline Time up-to-go test > ten seconds) or physical limitations are advised to have chair dance, which upper limb movements are the same as the usual Zumba Gold dance. Motivational and support sessions in 10th week and 14th week will be provided through the evaluation of the goal and encouragement messages via whatsapp. An oncology nurse, who has at least three-year clinical oncology experience and receive Zumba Gold training, will provide the tele-support to participants about the enquiry about the dance techniques and the symptom management related to the CIPN via Whatsapp to promote self-efficacy in managing CIPN by dance. Participants may send messages to the oncology nurse at anytime. The oncology nurse will check the message at 6pm everyday and reply all the messages at 6-8pm everyday.

干预措施:

After receiving the educational booklet and logbook, weekly Whatsapp message with videos of exercises recommended for elderly by Department of Health, HKSAR (Elderly Health Service, 2025) will be provided for participants in control group in the first six weeks. Participants are encouraged to follow the NCCN and ACSM guidelines for cancer survivors to enhance their health and well-being through exercise. These recommendations include engaging in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity each week or alternatively, performing 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise, or a combination of both. Each exercise session should begin with a light-intensity aerobic warm-up and stretching, with stretching exercises included on at least two non-resistance training days. Additionally, resistance training should be performed 2 to 3 times per week, consisting of 2 to 3 sets of 10 to 15 repetitions per exercise, with rest intervals of 2 to 3 minutes between sets. For survivors experiencing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), balance training is particularly important. Those with neuropathy and balance issues may benefit from alternative exercises, such as stationary cycling and water exercises, if walking is not feasible. Encouragement messages will be sent in 10th and 14th week.
