Summary

Many individuals who have had cancer experience functional limitations during and after their treatments. The most common side effect from cancer treatment that restricts cancer survivors' completion of daily activities is cancer-related fatigue. Here, we propose to investigate whether an interprofessional approach that targets physiologic, psychologic, and ecological factors will minimize cancer-related fatigue and enhance daily life participation for volunteer cancer survivors living in the community. The interprofessional team will include occupational therapy professor and students from Eastern Kentucky University (EKU), physical therapy and dietitian professors and their students from the University of Dayton, and instructional design instructor from EKU. The approach will include (1) individualized exercise programs-via physical therapy; (2) problem-solving strategies including modifying the environment or activity -via occupational therapy; (3) goal development via physical and occupational therapy; and (4) cancer-related fatigue education via instructional design. We hypothesize that this approach will result in participants experiencing less fatigue, increasing their mobility, improving their quality of life, and being more satisfied with how they perform daily activities.

Rehabilitation

Exercises completed, and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) will be reviewed during \& after each exercise session. Exercises will be modified by either increasing or decreasing the intensity. Decisions will be made based RPE, physical symptoms \& any identified barriers or supports. Weeks 1, 3, 5, \& 7, Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) education will be assigned. During weeks 2, 4, 6, \& 8, CRF education will be reviewed and a plan for how to apply the information will be developed. Participant will be guided through 6 steps of problem solving to address one occupational performance problem identified by participant within Canadian Occupational Performance Measure. Goal \& action plan for the week will be shared with the participant electronically. At the beginning of each session, participant will describe progress on previous week action plan. Based on participant's response, either a new goal will be developed or the current one modified..
