Brief Summary

The goal of this randomized control trial is to determine if participating in an 8-week online cancer-related fatigue management intervention consisting of individualized exercise program, one-on-one goal setting and action plan development and interactive educational module will significantly reduce the perception of cancer-related fatigue, improve the quality of life, improve perceived cognition, and perceived function of breast cancer compared to a wait-list control group. The aim the project is to determine if an online cancerrelated fatigue management program is associated with 1. A decrease in cancer-related fatigue. 2.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Brief Fatigue Inventory8-week

This 9-item scale assesses the severity and interference of fatigue based on a 0 (no fatigue) to 10 (greatest fatigue) scale

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
6-minute walk test8-weeks

Participants completes a 6-minute walk at their chosen pace and with permitted standing rest breaks

30 second sit to stand8-weeks

Participants are seated in a standard height fixed chair without armrests, which is placed against a wall. They will move from sitting to standing and back to sitting position, with arms crossed against chest. The number of complete stands and sits

Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue8-weeks

This 40-item 5-point Likert scale (0=Not at all 1=A little bit 2=Somewhat 3= Quite a bit 4=Very much) evaluates quality of life in individuals with fatigue as measured in 5 domains: physical, social/family, emotional, functional well-being, and fatigue. Higher scores reflect greater quality of life

PROMIS Cognitive Function Ability 8a8-weeks

This 8-item 5-point Likert scale \[Never, Rarely (Once) Sometimes (Two or three times) Often (About once a day) Very often (Several times a day)\] evaluates patient-perceived cognitive abilities, its interference with daily functioning, whether other people observe cognitive impairments, and its impact on quality of life

Promis Applied Cognitive Abilities 8a8-weeks

This 8-item 5-point Likert scale \[Not at all A little bit, Somewhat, Quite a bit, Very much\] evaluates the patient-perceived cognitive deficits

Average heart rateWeek 8

Fitbit will track daily heart rate of each participant

Canadian Occupational Performance Measure8-week

The OT administers the COPM, which is a semi-structured interview to understand the routine activities that the participant completes daily, specifically their self-care, leisure, and social activities. The participant rates the importance of each of the activities using a 0 to 10 scale. Zero indicates "no importance" and 10 indicates "very important." Then the participant separately rates their perception of how well they currently perform each of the important activities and how satisfied they are with their performance using a 0 to 10 scale. Zero indicates that "they are not able to perform" or "they are not satisfied" and 10 indicates that "they are able to perform the activity well" or "they are very satisfied."

Average number of stepsWeek 8

Fitbit will track the number of steps that the participants takes each day
