Interventions

  • 8-Week Telehealth-based Occupational Therapy Program — BEHAVIORAL
    The telehealth-based OT program will be grounded in SDT. The program will be designed to help BC survivors transition from recovery after surgery to achieving levels of aerobic PA and MSE that are recommended according to each participants' specific treatment course and desired outcomes. Participants will engage in eight once-weekly OT sessions with a licensed occupational therapist via Zoom-lasting for up to about an hour. Each session will teach psychoeducational and skill-building techniques that support decreasing functional limitations associated with BC and BC treatment as well as improving behavioral skill sets necessary for maintenance of aerobic PA and MSE. Participants will receive study-provided exercise equipment and a fitness tracker (Fitbit Charge 6) for use engaging in greater amounts of aerobic PA and MSE (keeping these materials post-study)

Study Details

We will evaluate a novel 8-week telehealth-delivered occupational therapy (OT) program among breast cancer survivors that seeks to promote engagement in aerobic physical activity (PA) and muscle strengthening exercise (MSE). The telehealth-based delivery of this OT program circumvents some barriers to OT access and participation (e.g., time burden; distance to OT clinic) among breast cancer survivors- particularly important for Oklahoma given that 33% of residents live in rural areas. Additionally, the focus of this program is to promote the preferred aerobic PA and MSE choices of each individual survivor to increase the likelihood of long-term PA engagement. In turn, participants will be more likely to experience the longer-term benefits associated with PA such as improved physical functioning, reduced anxiety, depressive, and pain symptoms, better sleep, and better cardiorespiratory fitness.
