Quality of Life and Resilience: Exploring a Fly Fishing Intervention for Breast Cancer Survivors.
Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing 2017 Februrary 2
BACKGROUND: The Casting for Recovery® therapeutic intervention provides a positive, nontraditional weekend experience for breast cancer survivors. Participants receive fly fishing instruction and participate in structured and unstructured therapeutic activities.
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether breast cancer survivors had improved resilience and quality-of-life scores after program participation.
METHODS: Participants completed the Quality of Life Breast Cancer questionnaire and Connor- Davidson Resilience Scale two weeks before and three and six months after the retreats.
FINDINGS: No statistically significant differences between pre- and postintervention quality-of-life or resilience scores were noted. However, qualitative data reflected a high degree of participant satisfaction, healing, and learning. Participants added that peer and volunteer connections, group camaraderie, good nutrition, being in nature, and learning a new skill were all positive aspects of the program.
