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.
