A Cancer Survivorship Model from the Lens of Occupational Science Incorporating Patient Self Management - Model of Occupational Participation

groups Abstract Over the last few decades, several cancer survivorship models of care have evolved to address the needs of the rising population of cancer survivors worldwide. The various models of survivorship care have evolved from the perspective of cancer center, community setting, as well as country-wide health care system, as a way to address the unique, and heterogeneous needs of post treatment survivors. However, in line with the rationale survivors will require preventive and general supportive community care subsequent to their overall functioning and health-related care, a model of occupational participation in cancer survivorship is proposed, to empower survivors to work alongside the community they lived in for support and for advocating cancer control.
