Each MCST session will be follow the procedures of Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) intervention. There will be 10, 45-minute, weekly sessions. All sessions will be delivered in-person with a trained occupational therapist.

The MCST group will follow procedures for the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance intervention. First, five functional, everyday life goals are identified collaboratively by the participant and interventionist. In the second meeting, the therapist introduces the approach to the subject and teach a global cognitive strategy (i.e., GOAL-PLAN-DO-CHECK). In all subsequent sessions, this strategy is used as the main problem-solving framework to facilitate skill acquisition. The subject identifies a GOAL, and then is guided by the therapist to discover a PLAN to potentially achieve the goal. The subject is then asked to DO the plan (if feasible during the therapy session otherwise asked to complete at home prior to the next treatment session), and subsequently to CHECK to see if the plan worked, i.e. the goal was achieved. This process is repeated until satisfactory performance is met for each established goal.

Participants will receive a weekly phone call from study staff to maintain contact and monitor changes in activity.

Weekly contact will be made via telephone call to (1) maintain study engagement, (2) introduce weekly social contact with researchers, mimicking some of the potential incidental effects of the experimental group, and (3) ascertain what, if any, additional steps participants have taken to reduce cognitive symptoms. The content of each of these meetings will be tracked in intervention notes.

Recruitment rate, retention rate

Self-report measure of activity performance. Minimum = 1, Maximum = 10. Higher scores mean better performance.

Self-report measure of activity performance. Minimum = 1, Maximum = 10. Higher scores mean better performance.

Self-report measure of lapses in motor function memory and perception. This questionnaire contains 25 items and scores range from 0 to 100. Higher scores = greater perceived impairment.

Self-report measure of the functional impact of executive dysfunction. It consists of 20 items within four domains: (1) emotional, (2) motivational, (3) behavioral, and (4) cognitive. Each item is rated for frequency using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (never) to 4 (very often).

Part A is an attention, visual search, and motor speed task that involves connecting a series of numbers in ascending order. Part B requires alternating between numbers and letters to assess set shifting and executive abilities.

Measure of verbal fluency that requires spontaneous word production for a different letter of the alphabet across three different trials.

Self-report measure of participation in various everyday life activities that are in the categories of low demand leisure, high demand leisure, instrumental activities of daily living, and social activity. Cards are sorted according to if the subject is performing each activity as much, less than, or more as compared to before experiencing cancer-related cognitive impairment.

A quality-of-life measure across five domains: Physical, social, emotional, functional well-being, and breast-cancer subscale.

Self-report measure of self-efficacy in using participation strategies. The subject rates confidence across 35 items within six subscales: (1) managing home participation, (2) staying organized, (3) planning and managing community participation, (4) managing work and productivity), (5) managing communication, and (6) advocating for resources.

Measure of working memory and attention in which a series of single digit numbers are presented audibly individuals. The most recent two digits are to be summed prior to the next digit presented. Two commonly used subversions use a 2 second or 3 second inter-stimulus interval.

Measure of verbal learning and memory in which a list of 12 words is to be recalled. Three learning trials with free recall followed by a delayed recall at 20 minutes and a recognition trial.
