Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Moving On Study - Pilot Test

Study Description

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to conduct a pilot test of "Moving On After Breast Cancer (MOVE-ABC)" - a physical therapy based educational intervention designed to reduce and manage breast cancer-related physical and functional impairments. This pilot test will allow the investigator to determine whether MOVE-ABC is feasible and holds promise for efficacy for delivery after breast cancer treatment has ended just as the breast cancer survivor enters the surveillance for recurrence phase of cancer survivorship. The study team will be recruiting breast cancer survivors who have just finished intent-to-cure treatment and are just about to execute their cancer survivorship plans.

Detailed Description: The investigators hypothesize that MOVE-ABC is a critical missing link in the standard of care to reduce impairments and improve confidence to manage impairments. The research team is positioned to pilot test MOVE-ABC to address (a) self- management of breast cancer-related impairments via patient-centered booklet and video each impairment identified by our breast cancer survivors; (b) instruction on self-management of impairments with the "Moving On" booklet and video (Attachment 4.1); and (c) weekly follow-up (up to 1 month after the end of breast cancer treatment) to answer questions, concerns and review "Moving On". This research also supports a small but growing number of studies that point to self-management interventions informed by rehabilitation as a means to fill this gap in usual care. The investigator has already piloted the "Moving On" intervention among surgical candidates for breast cancer surgery. The question remains whether "Moving On" is acceptable and feasible for breast cancer survivors who have already completed their breast cancer treatment and are just beginning to execute their breast cancer survivorship plans.
