Summary

The purpose of this pilot study is to examine a 12-week self-management energy conservation program (ECAM)'s effects on fatigue, and secondarily on sleep, physical activity, anxiety and depression, self-efficacy, and beliefs about fatigue in a group of Thai women with breast cancer who are undergoing chemotherapy. We will also evaluate how well women like the intervention, how easy it is to use and whether women will do the activities.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Self-management energy conservation

The experimental group will receive four sessions approximately every three weeks with the PI. These sessions will correspond to the cycles of chemotherapy they will receive, with the first two sessions being during cycle 1, and sessions 3 and 4 being during cycles 2 and 3 of chemotherapy, respectively. The women will be instructed on how to assess their activity patterns by making a list prioritizing their usual activities. The journal and priority list (a "to do" list) provide the basis for the second session. In this session, the participant will learn to create a plan for managing valued activities to minimize the amount of energy used, to report the fatigue experienced during and after an activity done in the journal and will learn strategies to manage fatigue and optimize activity. In the third session, the participant will evaluate and revise their individualized plan. In addition, the participant will be instructed to wear a pedometer to record objective physical activity.
