“…This supports the qualitative findings. However, the majority of current articles that address factors that impact occupational engagement emphasize the physical aspects such as symptom management (Kaal et al, 2021; McKie & Laiyemo, 2020).…”

Cancer and its treatment can impact occupational engagement. However, occupational therapy–specific research studying young adult cancer survivors remains limited. The objective of this study to identify the type of occupations that young adult cancer survivors choose to engage in and to understand their decision-making process when choosing these occupations. A mixed-methods explanatory sequential design was used. Eleven participants, nine females and two males, between the ages of 18 and 35, were included. Several occupations were identified for engagement such as activities of daily living, leisure, work, sleep and rest, and health management. The predominant factor that influenced why occupations were chosen was that individuals purposefully selected occupations that allowed them to choose a path toward a more meaningful life. Information gained from this pilot study can be used to inform occupational therapy practitioners regarding services and interventions that promote occupational engagement for young adult cancer survivors.

“…38 Likewise, another study from the United States proved this correlation. 39 After controlling for health perception and selected demographic characteristics, adherence to physical activity was a positive significant predictor of quality of life, and this indicates that the higher the commitment to physical activity, the better the quality of life for mothers. Consistent with these results, it was found that working moms in Tunisia could considerably increase their health-related quality of life by participating in physical activity, which could help to mitigate adverse health-related outcomes.…”

Background: Jordan has a high prevalence of physical inactivity, a major risk factor for non-communicable diseases. Working mothers are a high-risk group who face significant barriers to physical activity and experience a decline in their quality of life. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the potential impact of physical activity adherence on health-related quality of life and physical fitness among a sample of working mothers. Patients and Methods: A Correlational, retrospective analytical design, was employed among a sample of working mothers (n=120), from Amman and was divided into two comparison groups. Data collection included a self-reported questionnaire using a demographic questionnaire, a health perception scale, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form, the International Fitness Scale, and the Quality of Life Brief questionnaire. The statistical analysis was independent t-test analysis, analysis of variance (One-way ANOVA), Pearson r correlation and regression used to estimate the prediction of dependent variables based on independent variables. Results:The results found a significant positive relationship between physical activity and overall quality of life and its domains (physical, psychological, and environmental); however, there was no statistically significant difference in the social domain. Adherence to physical activity was a significant positive predictor of quality of life. Moreover, the health perception level was a significant positive predictor. A t-test revealed a statistically significant difference between the physically active group and a sedentary group of working mothers regarding changes in Health-Related Quality of Life; physically active mothers are more likely to have better physical (p < 0.024), psychological (p < 0.001), and overall quality of life (p < 0.011). Furthermore, Physical fitness significantly predicted physical activity in the study results. Conclusion:This study confirms the existence of positive correlations between physical activity and working women's quality of life and physical fitness. Mothers with higher levels of physical activity are more likely to have better physical, psychological, and environmental domains of quality of life and better physical fitness.

“…Given that studies in the general cancer population support a strong correlation between supportive care service receipt and cancer outcomes, 6,7 we conducted our study with the hypothesis that residential location may affect receipt of supportive care services and thus contribute to the poorer survival seen in rural YAs. We also sought to study the impact of residential location on treatment satisfaction as both supportive care service receipt and treatment satisfaction have been linked to quality of life, [31][32][33][34] and there is limited work comparing these metrics or their impact by residential location.…”

PURPOSE: Adolescent and young adult oncology programs are critical but exist primarily in academic centers, prompting potential disparities in care on the basis of patient residence. We studied the impact of residential location on supportive care receipt and treatment satisfaction in young adults (YAs) with cancer age 19-39 years treated at the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center (UWCCC). METHODS: YA patients with cancer age 19-39 years seen at UWCCC from March 30, 2019, to March 29, 2020, were sent a survey assessing supportive care receipt and satisfaction. Survey results were compared with retrospective chart review of YAs seen at UWCCC between April 1, 2011, and April 1, 2021. Data were categorized on the basis of residential location using distance from UWCCC and 2013 Rural-Urban Continuum Code (RUCC). RESULTS: Survey results were obtained for 145 YAs, including 29 from nonmetro RUCC (20.0%) and 81 living > 20 miles from UWCCC (55.9%). YAs from nonmetro locations had lower satisfaction with available treatments (79.3% v 91.4%, P = .005), and distant YAs living > 20 miles from UWCCC more frequently identified location as a barrier to supportive care receipt (35.6% v 15.8%, P = .02). Metro YAs more frequently listed fertility consultations as unavailable (38.0% v 16.0%, P = .04) in the survey despite chart review data showing higher rates of sexual health assessments (48.2% v 20.4%, P = .002) and fertility visits (29.6% v 18.5%, P = .18). CONCLUSION: We identified differences in both supportive care receipt and treatment satisfaction on the basis of residential location. These findings support the need for measures to successfully meet treatment and supportive care needs regardless of residential location.
