AbstractBackgroundAlthough the cancer‐related cognitive impairment (CRCI) is a common symptom incurred by the breast cancer survivors (BCS), more emphasis is needed in identifying acceptable interventions for survivors.PurposeThe purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to examine the acceptability of cognitive programs by identifying the facilitators and barriers for implementing computerized cognitive training (BrainHQ) and computerized global cognitive stimulating‐based games (e.g., computerized word‐find, puzzles, etc.) comparator delivered remotely to improve CRCI from the perspective of BCS.MethodsBCS (n= 35) who enrolled and completed a randomized controlled trial of computerized cognitive training: 19 cognitive training (BrainHQ) and 16 global cognitive stimulating‐based games (crosswords, puzzles, etc.) were interviewed post‐training. Semi‐structured questions were used, recorded, and transcribed verbatim. Qualitative data were analyzed using standard content analytic procedures for each intervention.ResultsFacilitators of training varied by intervention with cognitive training seen as challenging, engaging, and gave a sense of accomplishment whereas global stimulating games were seen as a way of taking mind off issues, enjoyable, and easy to navigate. Barriers of cognitive training included an awareness of failing whereas global stimulating games were deemed to be too repetitive. Both groups endorsed the convenience/flexibility of online training and common concerns of time constraints and fatigue to complete the training. Each group also provided recommendations for improvement.ConclusionsCognitive training and global stimulating games were generally well received by BCS. Designing more support elements to promote engagement may be key to successful long‐term implementation.
