Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Moving On After Breast Cancer - Intervention Arm
Participants are randomized to the intervention arm after their breast cancer diagnosis (but before cancer surgery) and baseline measurements (T0) are taken. They are followed up again at 2 weeks after their breast cancer surgery (T1), and again at 3 months after surgery (T2). Participants are given the patient education materials (booklet, therapeutic exercise DVD, small ball, range of motion wand). The research assistant orients the participant to the education materials and summarizes each section of the booklet. The research assistant also teaches the participant how to do the therapeutic exercises in the booklet. All participants in the intervention also receive usual care.
Moving On After Breast Cancer
Patient education intervention that is evidence-based, physical therapy, patient \& family centered through the use of face to face instruction, a booklet, and therapeutic exercise DVD. The education materials are designed to deliver information on short term, long term, and late physical and functional effects of breast cancer treatment and given to breast cancer survivors before beginning cancer treatment. The education materials are designed to be used before, during, and after breast cancer treatment.
Usual Care
Participants are randomized to the usual care arm after their breast cancer diagnosis (but before cancer surgery) and baseline measurements (T0) are taken. They are followed up again at 2 weeks after their breast cancer surgery (T1), and again at 3 months after surgery (T2). Usual care consists of pre-operative testing, pre-operative nursing education on care of the surgical incision and pain management followed by breast cancer surgery.
