Abstract
- Background: Young adult cancer survivors (YACS) aged 18-39 report age-specific multifactorial challenges with self-care, leisure, work and education requiring multicomponent rehabilitation intervention. Therefore, the 'Young Adult Taking Action' (YATAC) programme was developed. Aims/Objectives: To present a protocol for a feasibility study evaluating the acceptability of the YATAC programme and exploring implementation, mechanisms of impact and outcomes. Material and methods: A mixed-method feasibility study with a convergent research design will be conducted. The programme is an age-specific, multicomponent, goal-oriented, and peer-based rehabilitation programme delivered by an interdisciplinary staff consisting of nine components: 1) Goal setting, 2) Everyday life, 3) Physical activity, 4) Psychological issues, 5) Work and study, 6) Sexuality and relationship, 7) Rights and finance, 8) Peer-to-peer support and 9) Individual consultation. Quantitative and qualitative data about acceptability, implementation, mechanisms of impact and outcomes will be collected. Results: The results will provide essential knowledge about the programme's acceptability, implementation, mechanisms of impact and outcomes. Conclusion and significance: The study will inform adjustment of the programme and will provide knowledge of whether and how to deliver age-specific rehabilitation to YACS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
