Timeline
Interventions
The interventionist presents the rationale for BA/PS, promotes a positive problem orientation, and educates about the framework for problem-solving and action planning. The interventionist then administers the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure to elicit participant priorities, motivation, and long-term goals. The interventionist then guides the participant in using the BA/PS framework to set a goal, brainstorm solutions to challenges, and create a detailed action plan for the coming week.
The interventionist provides education regarding nine cancer survivorship topics (i.e., healthy diets, physical activity, lymphedema management, smoking cessation, stress management, communication with providers, body image and sexuality, communication with social supports, work accommodations) during the control telephone contacts.
