The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a speed of processing (SOP) training intervention on secondary, self-reported health outcomes in this population.Methods: Sixty middle-aged and older adult women breast cancer survivors completed baseline assessments and were randomized to either a no-contact control group or an SOP training group, who completed 10 hrs of computerized SOP training online at home. Both conditions completed self-report surveys of sleep, QoL, cognitive difficulties, and depressive symptoms at six weeks and six months post study entry.Results: There were no significant effects of the SOP training on self-reported health outcomes.Conclusion: Future studies examining the effect of cognitive training on self-reported health outcomes are warranted that include individuals with baseline impairment in such indices in order to better determine efficacy, and longer follow-up time points may aid in examining the protective effects of this intervention in those without baseline impairment.Keywords: cancer survivorship, cognitive dysfunction, late effects, quality of lifeVo JBFazeli PLBenz RBail JRTriebel KVance DEMeneses KDove Medical Pressarticlecognitive deficitsbreast cancer survivorsspeed of processinginterventionNursingRT1-120ENNursing: Research and Reviews, Vol Volume 9, Pp 13-19 (2019) |
