Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and validate items for the Screen of Cancer. Survivorship - Occupational Therapy Services (SOCS-OTS), a patient-driven screening tool to be used by frontline workers and filled out by cancer survivors that can indicate a need for appropriate occupational therapy (OT) referral.
Methods: Five rounds of a classical Delphi study were conducted to determine item inclusion. Expert panelists in rounds 1 and 2 consisted of adults LWBC who verified proposed items relevant to issues in activities of daily living (ADLs). Expert panelists in rounds 3-5 consisted of expert OTs who determined item relevance through consensus and item modification.
Results: Forty-five adults living with and beyond cancer (LWBC) and 14 expert oncology occupational therapists and researchers participated in five rounds of surveys. A total of 20 items reached consensus at 80% with a "check all that apply" format. Items included address ADLs meaningful to adults LWBC.
Conclusions: The SOCS-OTS is an innovative content-valid screening tool designed to identify problems with ADLs relevant to OT referral.
Implications for cancer survivors: The SOCS-OTS can empower cancer survivors and cancer care teams by indicating when daily activities are impacted enough to refer to OT services. This could ensure that cancer survivors receive the rehabilitation services they need.
期刊介绍:
Cancer survivorship is a worldwide concern. The aim of this multidisciplinary journal is to provide a global forum for new knowledge related to cancer survivorship. The journal publishes peer-reviewed papers relevant to improving the understanding, prevention, and management of the multiple areas related to cancer survivorship that can affect quality of care, access to care, longevity, and quality of life. It is a forum for research on humans (both laboratory and clinical), clinical studies, systematic and meta-analytic literature reviews, policy studies, and in rare situations case studies as long as they provide a new observation that should be followed up on to improve outcomes related to cancer survivors. Published articles represent a broad range of fields including oncology, primary care, physical medicine and rehabilitation, many other medical and nursing specialties, nursing, health services research, physical and occupational therapy, public health, behavioral medicine, psychology, social work, evidence-based policy, health economics, biobehavioral mechanisms, and qualitative analyses. The journal focuses exclusively on adult cancer survivors, young adult cancer survivors, and childhood cancer survivors who are young adults. Submissions must target those diagnosed with and treated for cancer.
