“…For example, if a woman performed 10 of the 90 activities in the past (before diagnosis-reference time) and after diagnosis, she gave up two activities, did less than three activities, and did not add new activities, the RAL for this point of time would be 6.5 divided by ten equals 0.65 (5 activities she kept doing, each scored 1 point = 5, three activities she did less, each scored 0.5 points = 1.5 and two activities she gave up, each scored 0 points-altogether 6.5 points). The ACS was used to measure activity engagement after cancer in community-based survivors [40] and as an outcome measure to assess the feasibility of occupation-focused interventions for women after breast cancer [10,13].…”

We aimed to examine the feasibility and impact of a short-term occupation-based telerehabilitation intervention (Managing Participation with Breast Cancer (MaP-BC)) on daily participation, health-related quality-of-life, and breast-cancer-related symptoms and understand women’s perspectives regarding strategies to manage daily participation and symptoms during COVID-19 pandemic. A mixed-methods study (single-arm pre–post with a qualitative component) included 14 women after their primary medical treatment for breast cancer. Women received six weeks of occupation-based intervention using a video-communication. Sessions focused on identifying functional goals and training strategies to manage daily participation. The primary outcome was perceived performance and satisfaction with meaningful activities by the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). Secondary outcomes were participation in the Activity Card Sort (ACS), upper-extremity functioning of Disability Arm Shoulder Hand, self-reported symptom severity, executive-functioning, health-related quality of life, and a question regarding strategies used to manage daily participation. Women significantly improved their daily participation in meaningful activities in the COPM, most ACS activity domains, self-reported executive functioning, and health-related-quality-of-life. Qualitative findings revealed three main themes: (1) daily life under the threats of breast cancer and COVID-19, (2) women’s own strategies to overcome challenges, and (3) contribution of the MaP-BC. Providing telerehabilitation during the COVID-19 pandemic is feasible and successful in improving women’s daily participation after breast cancer.
