简要总结
This randomized clinical trial studies an educational intervention for reducing work disability in breast cancer survivors. Web sites providing symptom management education may be an effective method to help breast cancer survivors reduce work disability after treatment
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the feasibility and usability of the Work Ability Improvement Through Symptom Management and Ergonomic Strategies (WISE) and empirically evaluate its effect on short-term work ability among breast cancer survivors (BCS).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Explore individual and workplace factors associated with work ability in BCS.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
