摘要
Purpose Cancer survivors experience high rates of physical inactivity that often go unaddressed. The My Wellness Check program ( MWC ) is an EHR-integrated screening and referral system that includes surveillance of physical activity and triage to cancer rehabilitation medicine services. This study examined assessment of physical activity and subsequent referrals to cancer rehabilitation medicine. Methods A secondary analysis was performed for survivors who completed the MWC between April 2021 and January 2022. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression modeled determinants of qualification for a physical activity referral and provider completion of referral to cancer rehabilitation medicine. Referral was based on responses to the Moving Through Cancer questionnaire. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated. Results There were 1,174 survivors who completed the assessment, of which 46% ( n = 540) reported physical inactivity. After controlling for group differences, individuals with moderate-severe physical dysfunction (aOR: 1.750; 95% CI: 1.137, 2.693) had higher odds, and self-reporting Hispanic or Latino ethnicity (aOR: 0.720; CI: 0.556, 0.932) had lower odds of physical inactivity. Only 31% ( n = 168) received a completed physician referral to cancer rehabilitation medicine following identification of physical inactivity. No patient-level factors were associated with receiving a physician referral. Following referral, 8% ( n = 13) utilized cancer rehabilitation medicine services. Conclusions Patient-level and clinical factors may predict qualification for physical activity referrals; however, they don’t appear to predict referral completion to cancer rehabilitation medicine. Future research should focus on potential provider- and organization-level factors that interact and influence access to cancer rehabilitation medicine services.
