From Dissemination to Intervention: New Directions in Knowledge Translation for Breast Cancer Survivorship
FY 2009-10
Summary
Pain, lymphedema, and limited range of motion, 3 types of arm morbidity arising from breast cancer surgery, can have a devastating impact on survivors' work, leisure, and relationships. This study uses theatrical performances to disseminate results from our national study on the psychosocial effects of arm morbidity. The ethnodrama will be developed by survivors and then performed in 4 Canadian locations for audiences, consisting of breast cancer survivors and health care providers. The impact of the performance on the knowledge, attitudes and practices of the audience members regarding arm morbidity will be explored through follow-up interviews. The potential of the ethnodrama development to empower the participating survivors will also be explored as a psychosocial intervention.
