Abstract
This article discusses the effects of cancer on broader domains of health; the evidence and application of activity-focused rehabilitation approaches in rehabilitation populations; and the role of nurses in the promotion of activity-focused rehabilitation. Narrative review of rehabilitation literature. Cancer impacts activity engagement, community participation, and quality of life. Optimal cancer rehabilitation may lie in adoption and implementation of activity-focused rehabilitation approaches. Recent research suggests that this approach may improve impairments and activity engagement outcomes. Nurses are critical for screening for activity limitations and participation restrictions and early referral to rehabilitation treatment. Nurses can also educate survivors on the importance of meta-cognitive and self-management strategies to promote engagement in meaningful activities to reduce long-term disability.
