Changes in Hope and Power in Lung Cancer Patients who Exercise

Lisa M. Wall, RN; PhD

Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, New York

Using Rogers’ science of unitary human beings, changes in hope and power among 104 lung cancer patients were examined in relation to participation in a preoperative exercise program. Participants were randomly assigned to exercise or no-exercise and a repeated measures ANOVA was employed. The exercise group’s power increased while the no-exercise group’s power decreased. No differences in hope emerged. Positive correlations between hope and power were observed. Findings suggest that exercise is a form of knowing participation in change and illustrate a relation between one’s ability to envision a better future and one’s potential to actualize options through choice.

Key Words: exercise • hope • power • lung cancer patients • Rogers’ science of unitary human beings
