Development of a rehabilitation programme for young adult cancer survivors using co-production.

Background: Young adult cancer survivors, defined as individuals aged 18-39 who have completed primary curative treatment, face numerous age-specific biopsychosocial late effects that impact health-related quality of life negatively. Rehabilitation can enhance participation in life roles, work, leisure activities and health-related quality of life. However, there is a lack of age-specific cancer rehabilitation for this population, leaving many young adults with diminished self-efficacy in managing their challenges, resulting in unmet needs.

Perspectives on content and delivery of the ABLE 1.0 intervention programme.

Background: The occupational therapy intervention programme ABLE 1.0 was designed to enhance the ability to perform activities of daily living in persons living with chronic conditions. There is a need to determine if content and delivery of the ABLE 1.

Aims/objectives: To present a protocol for a feasibility study evaluating the acceptability of the YATAC programme and exploring implementation, mechanisms of impact and outcomes.

International consensus on occupational therapy interventions for people with palliative care needs: A European Association for Palliative Care Group Concept Mapping study.

Background: While evidence shows that occupational therapists can play a key role in the care of people with palliative care needs, more knowledge about effective occupational therapy interventions for this group is needed.

Aim: To identify, organise and prioritise intervention components considered to be effective within occupational therapy for people with palliative care needs from the perspective of occupational therapy clinicians, managers and researchers.

Design: Group Concept Mapping utilising a mixed methods participatory approach.

Social vulnerability among cancer patients and changes in vulnerability during their trajectories - A longitudinal population-based study.

Background: Identification of socially vulnerable cancer patients in the health care system is difficult. Only little is known concerning changes in the patients' social circumstances during the trajectory. Such knowledge is valuable regarding the identification of socially vulnerable patients in the health care system.

Clinical utility of the Danish version of the Self-Assessment of Modes Questionnaire (D-SAMQ).

Background: The the Self-Assessment of Modes Questionnaire (SAMQ) has been translated into Danish and culturally adapted (D-SAMQ), and aspects of validity and reliability have also been evaluated. However, no knowledge about the clinical utility of the D-SAMQ exists.

Aims/objectives: The aims were to investigate the clinical utility of the D-SAMQ among Danish occupational therapists (OTs) and occupational therapy students (OTSs), and to determine differences in perceived clinical utility between the two groups.

Rehabilitation interventions for young adult cancer survivors: A scoping review.

Objective: To map existing research concerning rehabilitation interventions for young adult cancer survivors (YACS) that address at least one factor from the biopsychosocial health model.

Design: Scoping review.

Data Sources: Searches were performed in EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Cochrane in January 2022 and updated in March 2023, and grey literature between February and April 2022.

Reliability and validity of the Danish version of the Self-Assessment of Modes Questionnaire.

Background: The Self-Assessment of Modes Questionnaire (SAMQ) is developed to help therapists identify their preferred use of modes when interacting with clients in clinical practice. A Danish translation of the SAMQ has been developed (D-SAMQ). To provide a robust instrument for occupational therapy practice and research, evaluation of the psychometric properties of the D-SAMQ is needed.

Predicting length of stay with assessment of motor and process skills in subjects with acquired brain injury.

Background: The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) is a well-established predictor of length of stay (LOS) for rehabilitation. The Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS) is a more in-depth construct for measuring activities of daily living (ADL) and may therefore be a valuable adjunct when predicting LOS. This paper aimed to investigate AMPS as a candidate predictor of LOS in a statistical model including FIM.

Occupational performance and prioritized problematic everyday occupations among people with advanced cancer living alone versus living with someone.

Background: People living at home with advanced cancer wish to maintain and preserve domestic life, but they experience several barriers in their everyday occupations and thereby occupational performance. There is little knowledge of these barriers experienced by people living alone versus people living with someone.

Objective/aim: To investigate differences in self-perceived occupational performance and the prioritisation of getting self-reported problematic everyday occupations solved among people with advanced cancer, taking living status into consideration.

Users' perspective on rehabilitation interventions for young adult cancer survivors: A group concept mapping study.

Objective: We aim to identify and prioritise rehabilitation interventions to strengthen participation in everyday life for young adult cancer survivors (YACS) between 18 and 39 years, involving the perspectives of YACS and relevant stakeholders.

Methods: A group concept mapping study was conducted in Denmark from 2019 to 2020. Online, participants generated and sorted ideas followed by rating their importance.

Differences in functioning between young adults with cancer and older age groups: A cross-sectional study.

Objective: This study aimed to explore whether young adults with cancer have different functioning compared to older age groups with cancer.

Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study including 654 adults (≥18 years) with cancer. Exposure was age groups categorised as (1) young adults (n = 121) = 18-39 years; (2) middle-aged adults (n = 406) = 40-64 years; and (3) older people (n = 127) = ≥65 years.

Cancer rehabilitation and palliative care for socially vulnerable patients in Denmark: an exploration of practices and conceptualisations.

Background: Despite a tax-funded, needs-based organisation of the Danish health system, social inequality in cancer rehabilitation and palliative care (PC) has been noted repeatedly. Little is known about how best to improve access and participation in cancer rehabilitation and PC for socio-economically disadvantaged and socially vulnerable patients.

Aim: To gather, synthesise and describe practice-orientated development studies presented in Danish-language publications and examine the underpinning conceptualisations of social inequality and vulnerability; explore related views of stakeholders working in the field.

Effect of mHealth plus occupational therapy on cognitive function, mood and physical function in people after cancer: Secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Medical and surgical treatments for breast cancer have various adverse effects. Both mobile health and supervised intervention strategies have been implemented to overcome these effects, but some gaps remain to be addressed. Scientific evidence for the effectiveness of occupational therapy in cancer is limited.

A resource-oriented intervention addressing balance in everyday activities and quality of life in people with advanced cancer: protocol for a feasibility study.

Background: People with advanced cancer need to balance their resources and energy in order to experience enjoyment and quality of life in the time they have left. A resource-oriented intervention is developed targeting these aspects. The present protocol presents a feasibility study of this resource-oriented intervention in people with advanced cancer.

Assistive devices among people living at home with advanced cancer: Use, non-use and who have unmet needs for assistive devices?

Objective: To investigate which assistive devices people with advanced cancer have and whether they are in use. In addition, to explore the characteristics of people with advanced cancer who have unmet needs for assistive devices.

Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study used data from a randomised controlled trial evaluating efficacy of an occupational therapy-based intervention.

Identification of socially vulnerable cancer patients - development of a register-based index (rSVI).

Background: Social vulnerability is a complex construct which is beyond relying on single measures. If socially vulnerable patients should be identified, we need a composite measure capturing the patient's overall circumstances. This study presents the development of a social vulnerability index (rSVI) for cancer patients based on administrative data from population-based registers.

Danish translation, adaptation and initial validation of the clinical assessment of modes questionnaires.

Background: The Clinical Assessment of Modes questionnaires (CAMQs) determine clients' preferential modes for therapy (CAM-C1), clients' perception of modes used by the occupational therapist (OTs) during therapy (CAM-C2), or modes the OTs believed to have used (CAM-T). Access to valid CAMQs for Danish OTs and clients required a rigorous translation and cultural adaptation process.

Objectives: To translate and culturally adapt the CAMQs into Danish, examining face validity in a Danish context.

Effectiveness of Antalgic Therapies in Patients with Vertebral Bone Metastasis: A Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

There is no systematic review that has identified existing studies evaluating the pharmacological and non-pharmacological intervention for pain management in patients with bone metastasis. To fill this gap in the literature, this systematic review with meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effectiveness of different antalgic therapies (pharmacological and non-pharmacological) in the improvement of pain of these patients. To this end, this protocol has been written according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) and registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020135762).

Rehabilitation and palliative care for socioeconomically disadvantaged patients with advanced cancer: a scoping review.

Background: Rehabilitation and palliative care may play an important role in addressing the problems and needs perceived by socioeconomically disadvantaged patients with advanced cancer. However, no study has synthesized existing research on rehabilitation and palliative care for socioeconomically disadvantaged patients with advanced cancer. The study aimed to map existing research of rehabilitation and palliative care for patients with advanced cancer who are socioeconomically disadvantaged.

Danish translation, cultural adaptation and initial validation of the Self-Assessment of modes questionnaire (D-SAMQ).

Background: The Self-Assessment of Modes Questionnaire (SAMQ) was developed for occupational therapists (OTs) to identify their therapeutic style when interacting with clients. To provide Danish Occupational Therapists (OTs) with access to the SAMQ, a rigorous translation, cultural adaptation and validation are required.

Aim: To describe the process of translating and culturally adapting the SAMQ into Danish (D-SAMQ) and examining initial validation of the SAMQ in terms of relevance and comprehensiveness in a Danish context.

Process evaluation of the Cancer Home-Life Intervention: What can we learn from it for future intervention studies?

Background: The Cancer Home-Life Intervention showed no significant effects, and examination of the processes affecting or inhibiting outcomes is relevant.

Aim: To evaluate the Cancer Home-Life Intervention for its processes of implementation, mechanisms of impact and contextual factors.
