Current public title as of 28/02/2019: Physical activity for people recovering from bowel cancer, or with inflammatory bowel disease who have a stoma Previous public title: Physical activity for people recovering from bowel cancer who have a stoma


ABSTRACT: Background and study aims Many people recovering from bowel cancer require surgery. If a section of the bowel is removed, the surgeon may temporarily divert the faeces by bringing a loop of bowel out through the abdominal wall and attaching it to the skin – this is called a stoma. A bag is worn over the stoma to collect the faeces. The formation of a stoma has many repercussions for the patient including low energy, tiredness, poor body image, fears of leakage, and fears of a hernia. These problems affect patient quality of life, and can be a barrier to being physically active. Activity levels might be improved in this patient group by addressing the concerns they have about their stoma, and by offering them input from a physical activity specialist. The aim of this study is to look at whether bowel cancer patients with a stoma enjoy a physical activity programme, and if it is beneficial. Who can participate? Currently as of 28/02/2019: Patients with bowel cancer undergoing surgery with the formation of a temporary or permanent stoma. The trial also includes people who have had their stoma formed as a result of inflammatory bowel disease. Previously: Patients with bowel cancer undergoing surgery with the formation of a temporary or permanent stoma What does the study involve? About 6 weeks after their surgery, the participants are offered a 12-week programme of physical activity intervention from exercise specialists. They record their activities in a diary, and are also given a device to measure their daily step counts. This study assesses how many patients participate, what activities they do each week; patients, clinicians and physical activity specialists’ opinions on the intervention; and if there are improvements in quality of life, function and fatigue.
