Introduction Little is known about how occupational therapy could assist women survivors of breast cancer and their partners who experience activity and role limitations during survivorship. This study sought to obtain views and consensus among occupational therapists regarding their potential role and the barriers and enablers to this potential service. Method We used a three-round classical Delphi process to determine the views of occupational therapists ( n = 40), and sought consensus (70%) for 49 statements concerning barriers and enablers affecting occupational therapy service provision during survivorship. Thematic analysis was used to determine themes and descriptive statistics to determine consensus level and median for statements. Findings Forty-six statements showed consensus. Themes identified were: (a) women and partners experience unmet needs; (b) gaps exist regarding supportive care; (c) access to comprehensive survivorship support is required; (d) barriers to occupational therapy exist; and (e) occupational therapists offer many supports to improve activity and role engagement for women and partners. Conclusion Occupational therapy is well-positioned to affect improvements in occupational engagement and role participation for women survivors of breast cancer and their partners. However, many barriers are identified. Occupational therapists must advocate the value of occupational therapy during survivorship to facilitate women’s engagement in meaningful activities and roles.

Therapy Service

In piloting an occupational therapy service in Hampshire Social Services' homes for elderly people, it became evident that the occupational therapy philosophy of enabling independence was perceived by the staff of the homes to be contrary to their role as carers. An approach was required which could demonstrate that the concept of care was not incompatible with that of independence and the CARE© approach was developed. This uses a mnemonic device to show that there are four factors that combine to result in the act of caring: Communicating, Assisting, Rehabilitating and Empathising. When all four factors are present, independence is promoted by enabling the elderly person to function to his/her maximum potential. The CARE approach is currently being used in Hampshire Social Services' homes for elderly people in training programmes for staff. The approach is appropriate to anyone who is involved in caring for others. It is used as a framework that assists the carer to make the transition to the role of an enabler.
