Abstract Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations. Latinx cancer survivors experience worse physical and mental health during survivorship. This group's occupational participation during survivorship is a product of cultural values, environmental influences, and occupational gains and losses. To promote occupational justice, the OT profession is called to deliver culturally tailored care to capitalize on this group's strengths and prepare them for daily participation.

IntroductionThe number of long term cancer survivors (more than 5 years after diagnosis) are nowadays increasing because of advances in cancer screening, early detection, treatment strategies and management of acute treatment toxicities.ObjectivesWe aim to highlight the long-term psychological responses or late effect of cancer diagnosis and treatment.MethodsNon systematic literature review through the Medline and clinical key databases, with time constraints.ResultsThere are physical and functional difficulties that may not be solved with the conclusion of treatment or can become problematic in survivors of cancer.Long-term refers to psychological or emotional responses that emerge after cancer diagnosis and treatment and persist for at least 5 years. Late effects of cancer refer to psychological or emotional responses that emerge after treatment completion. Risk factors to its development depends on the diagnosis, type of treatment, age at treatment, time since treatment, genetic vulnerability, psychological, social and environmental factors.Specific deficits are more prevalent in survivors than in healthy adults of the same age. Fatigue, sexual dysfunction, cognitive impairment and musculoskeletal symptoms are common. Functional limitations that induce restricted physical and social activities may happen in survivors. Physical function and late complications can be influenced by lifestyle, socio-economic and biologic factors.ConclusionsCancer survivors face short-term and long-term challenges to physical and mental health and they need to be addressed in the active treatment and throughout the continuum of survivorship care. Screening for mental health morbidity should be better integrated into active cancer treatment and survivorship and it should be provided mental health later interventions.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

The Impact

IntroductionThe perinatal–postnatal family environment is associated with childhood outcomes including impacts on physical and mental health and educational attainment. Family longitudinal cohort studies collect in-depth data that can capture the influence of an era on family lifestyle, mental health, chronic disease, education and financial stability to enable identification of gaps in society and provide the evidence for changes in government in policy and practice.Methods and analysisThe Queensland Family Cohort (QFC) is a prospective, observational, longitudinal study that will recruit 12 500 pregnant families across the state of Queensland (QLD), Australia and intends to follow-up families and children for three decades. To identify the immediate and future health requirements of the QLD population; pregnant participants and their partners will be enrolled by 24 weeks of gestation and followed up at 24, 28 and 36 weeks of gestation, during delivery, on-ward, 6 weeks postpartum and then every 12 months where questionnaires, biological samples and physical measures will be collected from parents and children. To examine the impact of environmental exposures on families, data related to environmental pollution, household pollution and employment exposures will be linked to pregnancy and health outcomes. Where feasible, data linkage of state and federal government databases will be used to follow the participants long term. Biological samples will be stored long term for future discoveries of biomarkers of health and disease.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval has been obtained from the Mater Research Ethics (HREC/16/MHS/113). Findings will be reported to (1) QFC participating families; (2) funding bodies, institutes and hospitals supporting the QFC; (3) federal, state and local governments to inform policy; (4) presented at local, national and international conferences and (5) disseminated by peer-review publications.

Testicular Cancer Survivors

Exploring tenets of basic psychological needs theory, the objective of this study was to examine the association between psychological needs satisfaction, exercise behavior, and physical and mental health among testicular cancer survivors. The present study investigated whether psychological needs satisfaction was directly associated with increased self-rated health, and if this relationship was mediated by engagement in exercise. Testicular cancer survivors ( N = 135; Mage = 32.45; SD = 7.63) self-reported current psychological needs satisfaction, exercise behavior, and perceived global physical and mental health during routine oncology visits. Associations were examined using path analysis. Psychological needs satisfaction was a positive correlate of both self-rated physical and mental health in this sample, and exercise mediated the association between needs satisfaction and self-rated physical health. This study supports the assumptions underpinning basic psychological needs theory in this unique clinical population. Based on the findings, exercise engagement represents one mechanism associated with perceived health after cancer. Supportive care interventions should aim to enhance satisfaction of psychological needs and investigate exercise as a mechanism underpinning the relationship between needs satisfaction and perceived health in testicular cancer survivors.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to quantify the incidence rates of common mental and physical health conditions in mothers of children with a life-limiting condition.MethodsComparative national longitudinal cohort study using linked primary and secondary care data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink in England. Maternal–child dyads were identified in these data. Maternal physical and mental health outcomes were identified in the primary and secondary care datasets using previously developed diagnostic coding frameworks. Incidence rates of the outcomes were modelled using Poisson regression, adjusting for deprivation, ethnicity and age and accounting for time at risk.ResultsA total of 35 683 mothers; 8950 had a child with a life-limiting condition, 8868 had a child with a chronic condition and 17 865 had a child with no long-term condition.The adjusted incidence rates of all of the physical and mental health conditions were significantly higher in the mothers of children with a life-limiting condition when compared with those mothers with a child with no long-term condition (eg, depression: incidence rate ratio (IRR) 1.21, 95% CI 1.13 to 1.30; cardiovascular disease: IRR 1.73, 95% CI 1.27 to 2.36; death in mothers: IRR 1.59, 95% CI 1.16 to 2.18).ConclusionThis study clearly demonstrates the higher incidence rates of common and serious physical and mental health problems and death in mothers of children with a life-limiting condition. Further research is required to understand how best to support these mothers, but healthcare providers should consider how they can target this population to provide preventative and treatment services.

Abstract Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations. We examined the relationships between participation in different extracurricular activities and the overall physical and mental health in college students across a 2-year period. Participation in certain occupations was associated with positive mental health, whereas other occupations were linked to poorer physical health. Exploration and promotion of participation in extracurricular occupations should be considered to support student health.
