Trial Information

Physical Activity to Modify Sequelae and Quality of Life in Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Nursing Trial


An advanced practice nurse (APN) will meet twice weekly with the patient and family for the
first 4 weeks of the intervention to initiate the motivation-based dialogue and therapeutic
interaction; this will be followed by once weekly visits during weeks 5-8 of the
intervention; and monthly visits during weeks 9-through end of therapy. The physical
therapist (PT) will meet at least once weekly with the patient and family during weeks 1-4
to initiate the prescriptive tailored exercise program; subsequent visits to reinforce and
modify the program will occur at least once every other week during weeks 5-8, and at least
once monthly during weeks 9-135 of the intervention. The PT will visit at least once weekly
during weeks 1-4, at least once every other week during weeks 5-8, and at least once monthly
during weeks 9-135. During weeks 9-135 of the intervention, the APN will call between the
monthly in person-visits, if needed to those randomized to the MAP group to assure fidelity
to the intervention and to provide booster support to the intervention where needed.
