BA/PS teaches survivors to a) systematically examine the reasons an activity is challenging, b) set achievable short-term goals that have the potential to improve participation, c) brainstorm solutions including activity adaptations and environmental modifications, d) construct and implement a detailed action plan, and e) evaluate the results and level of goal attainment. The structured process gives participants repeated practice in goal reengagement that leads them progressively closer to their long-term functional goals. The BA/PS framework integrates the cognitive-behavioral therapies of Behavioral Activation and Problem-solving Treatment and incorporates concepts from an occupational therapy theory called the Person-Environment-Occupational Performance Model.

The Behavioral Activation/ Problem Solving Intervention: 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.

Investigators provide 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. The control condition will match the intervention in terms of the number of sessions, the delivery by telephone, use of an occupational therapist, and the use of "homework" between sessions (i.e., reading the education materials for the control condition versus executing the action plan for the BA/PS condition).

Attention Control Condition: 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.
