N2 - Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the process of an online cognitive rehabilitation program aimed at supporting cancer survivors experiencing cognitive problems at work. Methods: Cancer survivors (N = 279) were randomized to one of the intervention groups (ie, basic and extensive online cognitive rehabilitation) or waitlist control group. Recruitment, reach, dosage, implementation, perceived usefulness, and experiences with the program were evaluated using questionnaires and logbooks. Results: Implementation (ie, reach multiplied by dosage) was acceptable for both versions of the program (range 63%–76%). Cancer survivors and cognitive therapists perceived the overall program as moderately to highly useful and generally reported positive experiences. Conclusions: Both a basic and extensive versions of the online cognitive rehabilitation program were successfully implemented in the context of a randomized controlled trial, suggesting their feasibility as intervention to support cancer survivors with cognitive problems at work.
