Background: The majority of the cancer care workforce have favourable attitudes and opinions
of exercise for cancer patients, and report that exercise is safe and beneficial;
nevertheless, insufficient time and uncertainty of what to recommend are reported
as common barriers to discussing and/or counselling their patients about exercise.
The limited research about cancer care clinician's communication with their patients
about exercise suggests that a timely discussion about regular exercise can be reassuring,
informative and motivational for patients. This study aimed to 1) understand the factors

and initiate co-ordinated and integrated clinical approaches to exercise communication
and referral.
