Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the association of constructs from the theory of self-determination and dermatoglyphic characteristics on the behavior related to the practice of physical activity in women who are being treated for breast cancer, considering their history of physical activity. 104 women participated in this study; they answered questions about the practice of physical activity, perception of competence, degree of autonomy in relation to the practice of physical activity, scale of satisfaction with life, and performed the collection of fingerprints for dermatoglyphics. For data analysis, the women were grouped according to the answers of the history of physical activity practice, if they practiced physical activity before the diagnosis of the disease and if they maintained the practice during treatment. In the group of women who used to practice physical activity before the diagnosis and continued with the activity during the treatment for breast cancer, the perception of competence (p<0,001), autonomous regulation (p=0,002), life satisfaction (p=0,005) and consequently the level of physical activity (p<0,001) were higher. In the dermatoglyphic variables, it was observed that in the thumb (p<0,047) and the index finger of the right hand (p<0,026), the distribution of whorls in S pattern was higher in women who presented controlled regulation for physical activity. The perception of competence and the autonomous regulation proved to be important characteristics for the maintenance of the practice of physical activity during the treatment for breast cancer. The dermatoglyphic pattern found may be an indication of a mark that can influence the behavioral regulation in relation to the practice of physical activity. More studies, with different patterns, are necessary to verify how these variables behave in the scope of breast cancer.
