Study summary

Although the benefits of adapted physical activity (APA) are well documented in the scientific literature, few studies have specifically examined the impact of adapted boxing on body image and self-esteem in patients with haematological conditions. The current approach relies on the empirical observations of healthcare professionals, but no systematic evaluation has been conducted to quantify the actual effects of this practice on patients. This project therefore aims to address this lack of data by rigorously and scientifically assessing the impact of a boxing session on patients' psychological and emotional well-being. The use of validated questionnaires (Rosenberg Scale, QIC, EORTC QLQ-C30) will provide objective and comparable measures12.

  3. Patients considered sufficiently stable to undertake adapted physical activity following medical assessment (no medical contraindications to practising adapted boxing) and for whom it is offered as part of their standard care
  4. Patients who have given their consent to participate in the study
  5. Patients covered by a statutory health insurance scheme
  6. Patients who have been prescribed adapted physical activity by a doctor

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Body Image Score Assessed Using the QIC Questionnaire

    Body image will be assessed using the QIC questionnaire. Scores will be compared before and immediately after the adapted boxing session to evaluate changes in body image.

    Time frame: Immediately before the adapted boxing session, immediately after the session, and 30 days after the session.

  2. Patients' Perceptions of Body Image Assessed Through Semi-Structured Interviews

    Patients' perceptions and experiences of body image will be explored through semi-structured interviews. Interview data will be analyzed qualitatively to identify themes related to body image following the adapted boxing session.

    Time frame: Immediately before the adapted boxing session, immediately after the session, and 30 days after the session.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
