This study aims to examine the influence of hospital environmental con-straints on physical activity level of cancer patients. The subjects of this study were 194 cancer patients from five general hospitals in the Seoul metropolitan area (Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, and Incheon). The collected data was analyzed by using SPSS ver. 23.0. As a result of analyzing the effect of environmental constraints on the physical activity level of can-cer patients, the constraints related to hospital facilities and programs had no effect on patients’ time spent in a hospital bed and their time spent on daily. However, the time cancer patients spend on intentional physical movements is affected by hospital facilities or programs. This means that hospital facilities or programs play an important role in pa-tients’ intentional physical activities. In conclusion, for hospitalized can-cer patients, physical activity levels are influenced by environmental constraints in the hospital. Therefore, it is important to improve the hos-pital environment to increase physical activities such as walking and physical exercise, which are an important factor for cancer recovery and prevention of recurrence.
