A strategy to implement the American College of Sports Medicine’s Exercise is Medicine® (EIM) initiative in a community oncology clinic
Purpose Despite proven benefits, few cancer patients exercise during chemotherapy. The American College of Sports Medicine’s Exercise is Medicine® (EIM) initiative describes a model to integrate exercise into oncology care, based upon assessing patients’ ability to exercise safely, advising on exercise benefits, and referring patients to exercise. We developed and tested a strategy to implement EIM in a community-based oncology clinic, to assess-advise-refer 20 patients undergoing chemotherapy to a 3-month online exercise class, and measured implementation outcomes. Methods Using a community-based provider participation in research (CBPPR) model, researchers and staff co-designed and tested a 4-level implementation strategy, with a goal of assessing-advising-referring 20 cancer patients to exercise. Surveys and interviews were conducted with 12 (100%) staff at baseline and post-implementation on acceptability/appropriateness/feasibility, perceptions of individual implementation roles, and organizational strengths/conditions. Data were analyzed using correlations, t-tests, and content analysis. Results The proposed strategy was revised in collaboration with staff who requested assistance for recruitment and data collection. EIM was successfully implemented with 41 (92%) patients assessed, 37 (90%) advised, and 22 (60%) referred to exercise classes. Barriers to implementation were staff shortages and time constraints; facilitators included research team supports. Staff’s perceived organizational strengths were positively correlated with exercise promotion acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility. There were no statistically significant changes in implementation outcomes (acceptability/appropriateness/feasibility) post-implementation. Conclusions Using a collaborative model, EIM was successfully implemented in a community oncology clinic; however, the clinic required significant support from the research team. Adaptations to the EIM process may be required to improve implementation outcomes.
