The OT Health and Wellness Program will have four weeks of education and individual integration intervention modules:

Week 1: Sleep Hygiene Week 2: Fatigue Management Week 3: Cancer-related cognitive impairments Week 4: Stress Management Each session will last 1.5 hours (45 minutes of group education and 45 minutes of individual modifications and strategy recommendations.

The OT Health and Wellness Program will have four weeks of education and individual integration intervention modules. One of the investigators will lead each of these weekly modules under the direct supervision of the Principal Investigator. Investigators will be trained to provide the standardized educational module for each topic area and for using outcome measures. Each module will have an identified theme and information provided in each group will be education to topic, evidence based literature on intervention strategies, lifestyle, or environmental modifications that improve performance of daily activities that will last approximately 45 minutes. After, group sharing of ideas and individual identification of weekly goals for integration of 1-3 targeted interventions will occur and last approximately 30-45 minutes).

Occupational Therapy Health & Wellness Education

Katie Polo

The number of cancer survivors today is growing exponentially and many survivors have unmet needs due to the late side effects of treatment. The purpose of this study is to explore the impact that a four-week Occupational Therapy Health and Wellness Program has on perceived satisfaction and performance of daily activities, fatigue, sleep quality, and health-related quality of life among adult community-dwelling cancer survivors.

Eligibility criteria for prospective participants includes cancer survivors with a past or present diagnosis that are at least 18 years old, able to consent, are English speaking, are able to fill out demographic information as well as pretest/posttest questionnaires, have indicated concerns within performance of daily activities and are able and willing to participate in a four-week Occupational Therapy Health and Wellness Program.

This quantitative study will use a prospective, one-group pretest-posttest design to explore the effects of a four-week Occupational Therapy Health and Wellness Program. Data that will be collected to track changes include physical, mental, and social health (measured by PROMIS questionnaire); fatigue levels (measured by the MAF questionnaire); Sleep quality (measured by the PSQI questionnaire); and self-perceived occupational performance and satisfaction (measured by the COPM interview/questionnaire) of community-dwelling cancer survivors.

Descriptive statistics will be used to compare pretest/posttest scores. Matched pairs t-test and Wilcoxin signed ranks test will be used if data is normally distributed. Normality will be tested by Shapiro wilks test and all data will be analyzed using t-tailed tests with significance set at .05.

The purpose of this study is to explore the impact that a four-week Occupational Therapy (OT) Health and Wellness Program has on perceived satisfaction and performance of daily activities, fatigue, sleep quality, and health-related quality of life among adult community-dwelling cancer survivors.

The research questions for this study are as follows:

1. What changes occur in community-dwelling cancer survivors in Physical, Mental, and Social Health from the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) after a four-week Occupational Therapy Health and Wellness Program from initial pretest to posttest?
2. What changes occur in community-dwelling cancer survivors in self-perceived occupational performance and satisfaction from the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) after a four-week Occupational Therapy Health and Wellness Program from initial pretest to posttest?
3. What changes occur in community-dwelling cancer survivors in fatigue from the Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue Scale (MAF) after a four-week Occupational Therapy Health and Wellness Program from initial pretest to posttest?
4. What changes occur in community-dwelling cancer survivors in sleep quality from the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) after a four-week Occupational Therapy Health and Wellness Program from initial pretest to posttest? It is hypothesized that there will be improvements in participants self-perceived occupational performance and satisfaction, fatigue levels, sleep quality, as well their mental, physical, and social quality of life after participation in a four-week OT Health and Wellness Program. This study will explore occupational therapy health and wellness cancer programming in a new service setting of the community. It additionally will integrate innovative occupational therapy community cancer programming looking at called for participation outcomes.

METHODS This quasi-experimental study will use a single group pretest-posttest study design to explore the effects of a four-week Occupational Therapy Health and Wellness Program on physical, mental, and social health (PROMIS), fatigue levels (MAF), Sleep quality (PSQI), and self-perceived occupational performance and satisfaction (COPM) of community-dwelling cancer survivors.

Participants This study defines cancer survivor as any person who has been diagnosed with cancer from the time of diagnosis through the remainder of their life. Therefore, cancer survivors will be included irrespective of their phase of survivorship (i.e. actively receiving treatment, remission etc.).

An a priori power analysis using G\*Power 3.1 was performed for a dependent-sample t test with the following parameters: two-tailed test, power of .80, a Type I error (α) of .05, and a medium effect size (d = .50). A minimum required sample size of 34 was determined. Taking into account attrition rate (25%), a target sample size is set for 43. Using results reported in a similar study of cancer survivors with an activity-based one week health program using the COPM, an effect size was calculated at .53 so the minimum sample size would be 30).

Data collected will be de-identified by using a participant code (first three letters of the participant's mother's first name and the last three digits of the participant's phone number). Participant IP addresses will not be collected in Qualtrics. A list of participant codes and their corresponding phone numbers will be stored on an encrypted google drive with access for investigators only in order to make reminder phone calls for meeting times. The study survey can be found at: https://uindy.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_56XfqHqrkLFYtNj

Procedures Recruitment. Survivors that are actively participating in programming at Cancer Support Communities Central Indiana location as well as their satellite facilities (Community Hospital, IU Health Simon Cancer Center, St. Vincent Cancer Care, and Hendricks Regional Health), and CSC community network partners (Little Red Door, Pink Ribbon etc.) will receive an informative flyer about the program. The program flyers will be posted at CSC and their satellite facilities as well as emailed to other community network partners for distribution. The OT Health and Wellness Program information will also be placed on CSC's programming schedule. Programming recruitment will also be through word from the investigators to their professional networks.

Screening. When a survivor calls to inquire about the OT programming, investigators will check if their results from the CSC Distress Screening Tool indicate the need for OT services. Those survivors that have indicated concerns of great severity on Cancer Support Community (CSC) Distress Screening Tool (Likert Items: very serious, serious, and moderately serious) in OT service provision areas related to finding meaning and purpose in life, disruptions in school/work/home life, fatigue, and sleep problems will be included in the study. This screening tool will be utilized to determine if participants are in need of the four-week OT Health and Wellness Program services and this data will be retained for the study.

Informed consent. Informed consent will happen at the survivor's first appointment with either the primary investigator or one of the co-investigators. Informed consent will be reviewed by one of the investigators and potential participants will indicate voluntary consent on Qualtrics. If the participants indicates voluntary consent to participate by continuing in Qualtrics, they will proceed into the COPM questionnaire. If the participant does not consent, it will take them out of Qualtrics. No data will be collected on those that do not provide voluntary consent.

Intervention. The OT Health and Wellness Program will have four weeks of education and individual integration intervention modules. One of the investigators will lead each of these weekly modules or students in the UIndy OTD program enrolled in OTD 620 Cancer Survivorship elective course will run the modules under the direct supervision of the Principal Investigator. Students will be trained to provide the standardized educational module for each topic area and will not be interacting with any study data. Each module will have an identified theme and information provided in each group will be education to topic, evidence based literature on intervention strategies, lifestyle, or environmental modifications that improve performance of daily activities that will last approximately 45 minutes. After, group sharing of ideas and individual identification of weekly goals for integration of 1-3 targeted interventions will occur and last approximately 30-45 minutes). The program will take place at CSC or one of their satellite facilities previously listed.

Data Analysis. Descriptive statistics will be used to describe the baseline and post-intervention characteristics of the sample. Nominal data will be presented as frequencies and percentages, while interval and ratio data will be reported as means and standard deviations or medians and interquartile ranges, dependent on whether the data are normally distributed. To determine if there is a significant difference in scores from pre-intervention to post-intervention, scores will compared using a paired t test, if the data are normally distributed, or the non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-ranks test if the data are not normally distributed. Normality will be determined using the Shapiro Wilk test. Data will be analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 25.0. All comparisons will be two-tailed and a significance level of less than .05 will be considered statistically significant.

Integrating an Occupational Therapy Health and Wellness Program (OT-HAWP) Into an Existing Cancer Support Community

Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) is a client centered outcome instrument that measures changes in a client's self-perception of occupational performance and satisfaction over time, and has been found to be a valid, reliable, and clinically useful outcome measure for occupational therapy research. In step two, the client is asked to rate the importance of each of the occupations to his/her life using a 10-point rating scale, the client is asked to use a 10 point scale to rate their own level of performance and satisfaction with performance for each of the five identified problems.

Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-Global Health (PROMIS-G) is an open access, person-centered questionnaire that measures physical, mental, and social health of adults, has been rigorously tested, has strong psychometric properties, and has cancer specific reference values. It is a 5 point likert scale.

Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is an open access, self-reported questionnaire that measures sleep quality and patterns in adults over a 1-month time interval, and has been found to be a reliable and valid assessment of sleep problems.

Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue Scale (MAF) is an open access, self-reported questionnaire that measures fatigue with recommended use in cancer rehabilitation.

Researchers are trying to see if proactive identification and team based individualized care of cancer patients having emotional difficulties can improve quality of life relative to treatment as usual. Also, to see if proactive approaches to maintain wellness can prevent grief among breast cancer patients, experiencing no emotional difficulties relative to treatment as usual.

Consented subjects will be randomized into two separate groups. Groups will be distressed and non-distressed subjects. Each group will be randomized into either intervention education training or standard of care. Both groups will be asked to fill out questionnaires during the duration of the study. Subjects will be remain in the study for up to one year.

Non-Distressed patients will be randomized to receive intervention or standard of care.

Purpose: The HealthScore Health Coaching Program aims to deliver 6-months of 1:1 home-based health coaching to cancer patients receiving treatment and survivors of any diagnosis at UNC Cancer Hospital. This study hopes to preserve physical function, address unmet physical, nutritional, psychological, social and other needs.

Procedures: This will be done through individualized health coaching, weekly symptom survey administration, monthly supportive care questionnaires, and physical assessments at baseline, 3 months and 6 months.

Participants: All cancer patients with appointments at UNC Cancer Hospitals.

Evaluation and monitoring are used sporadically in routine cancer care, and cancer coaching programs are rare. The potential for these approaches to improve quality of life and clinical outcomes in cancer patients is significant. The HealthScore Health Coaching Program is designed as a way to routinely combine evaluation, monitoring and coaching within a single framework as a six-month intervention for cancer patients or survivors. The primary rationale for the Program is that improvements in physical function, unmet needs identification, and self-efficacy are likely to lead to better patient-centered and overall outcomes for patients and survivors. A secondary rationale is that the framework of the Program and data obtained as part of the Program will facilitate additional quality improvement and research activities to refine the application of evaluation, monitoring and coaching techniques in cancer care. As reimbursement and care delivery in oncology transition to a focus on value and population-based management, the HealthScore Health Coaching Program may provide a model for application to cancer care within and outside UNC. The primary purpose of this study is to provide 6-months of 1:1 home-based health coaching for cancer patients and survivors will improve physical function and address unmet physical, nutritional, psychological, social and other needs which will increase patient and survivor self-efficacy for medical engagement, reduce morbidity, health care utilization, and encourage health lifestyle behaviors.

The HealthScore Health Coaching Program

To provide health coaching services for cancer patients and survivors at UNC through the HealthScore Program, measured by calculating numbers of participants enrolled and completing the six-month HealthScore health coaching intervention each year.
