ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic contributed to both existential distress and the rapid adoption of telehealth-based services. Little is known about the feasibility of delivering group occupational therapy intervention to address purpose-related existential distress via face-to-face synchronous videoconferencing. The objective of the study was to evaluate the feasibility of providing a purpose in life renewal intervention to breast cancer survivors via Zoom. Descriptive data were collected on acceptability and implementability of the intervention. Limited-efficacy testing involved a prospective pretest-posttest study where participants with breast cancer (n = 15) received an eight-session purpose renewal group intervention plus a Zoom tutorial. Participants completed standardized measures of meaning and purpose at pretest and posttest, and a forced-choice Purpose Status Question. The purpose renewal intervention was acceptable and implementable via Zoom. Pre-post changes in purpose in life were not statistically significant. Group-based purpose in life renewal intervention is acceptable and implementable when delivered via Zoom.
