Improving Quality of Life in Breast Cancer Survivors

Winthrop University is honored to take part in a study on quality of life in breast cancer survivors.  The study is based out of Clayton State University in Morrow, GA, in metro Atlanta, under the direction of Dr. Melanie Poudevigne.

 

Are You Eligible?

To be considered for the study, you must be a female who:

  • Currently aged 18-65 years

  • Recently survived breast cancer (less than 2 yrs)

  • Completed cancer treatment

 

What Does the Study Involve?

The 12-week study involves performing aerobic and resistance training exercise 3 times per week for approximately 1 hour on the Winthrop University Campus at the new, state-of-the-art Lois Rhame West Health, Physical Education, and Wellness Center.  All sessions will be supervised  by a trained fitness specialist monitored by Dr. Janet Wojcik, Health and PE faculty member.  You will also fill out some pencil and paper surveys every 4 weeks on sleep, work absenteeism, mood, and a physical activity recall.  You will have your hemoglobin measured by finger-prick.  These assessments every 4 weeks take about 30 minutes.

Your doctor must give permission for you to participate. 

The study is approved by the Winthrop University Institutional Review Board (IRB). 

In addition to the supervised personal training, you will receive monetary compensation of $70 for completing the study.  Parking passes will be provided.
