“…82 Following a cancer diagnosis, the physical and intellectual demands of the job are considered to be predictors of a successful RTW. 83 Several scholars have also analysed how workers with CDs perceive and experience the supplies (resources) made available by the organisation. In the case of cancer, employees usually complain about the lack of available information.…”

Return to work after chronic disease: A theoretical framework for understanding the worker-employer dynamic

Objectives Return to work after chronic disease is important for workers, employers and society. The process, however, is challenging. This article provides an analytical and theoretical framework for explaining this process informed by the person-environment fit theory. Methods This article uses a narrative method to (1) review the key concepts, benefits and influencing factors in the literature on return to work after chronic diseases, (2) analyse and critique the most important theoretical models used for explaining return to work after chronic diseases, and (3) review the person-environment fit theory and how it has been used so far. Results The existing models highlight different aspects, but they overlook the relationship between the worker and the employer. An analytical and theoretical framework is proposed to comprehensively explain the worker-employer dynamic. The framework also considers the role of broader factors (policy, labour market) and other stakeholders (health professionals, civil society actors) emphasising the idea that return to work is a phased and cyclical process. Discussion The framework can be used to guide future qualitative and quantitative studies, or as a map for identifying problematic areas related to the worker or the work environment. The model should be empirically tested in future studies.

“…When these symptoms impair work performance, cancer survivors may decide to ask for permanent disability (PD) bene ts from the social security system. The process of returning to work or not is also affected by other factors such as age, sex, family support, work and employment conditions, job strain, physical job demands, type of job, support at the workplace, type of contract and previous periods of unemployment [8][9][10]. However, most cancer survivors attempt to return to work (RTW) after the rst year or a maximum of 2 years after diagnosis, right after the SA ends [11].…”

Background: The consequences of cancer on working life until retirement age remain unclear. This study aimed to analyse working life considering all possible labour market states in a sample of workers after an SA due to cancer, and to compare their working life paths to those of a sample of workers without SA and with an SA due to other diseases. Methods: Registry-based cohort study of social security affiliates in Catalonia from 2012-2018. Cases consisted of workers with an SA due to cancer between 2012-2015 (N=516) and were individually age- and sex-matched with an affiliate with an SA due to other diagnoses and a worker without an SA. All workers (N=1,548, 56% women) were followed-up from the end of the SA due to cancer until the end of 2018 to characterise eight possible weekly labour states. Sequence analysis, optimal matching, and multinomial logistic regression were used to identify and assess the probability of future labour market participation patterns (LMPP). All analyses were stratified by sex. Results: Compared with workers with an SA due to cancer, male workers with no SA and SA due to other causes showed a lower probability of being in the LMPP of death (aRRR 0.02, 95% CI: 0.00‒0.16; aRRR 0.17, 95% CI: 0.06‒0.46, respectively), and in women lower probability of increasing permanent disability and death (aRRR 0.24, 95% CI: 0.10‒0.57; aRRR 0.39, 95% CI: 0.19‒0.83, respectively). Compared to workers with SA due to cancer, risk of future retirement was lower in workers with no SA (women aRRR 0.60, 95%CI: 0.22‒1.65; men aRRR 0.64, 95%CI: 0.27‒1.52). Conclusions Workplaces should be modified to the needs of cancer survivors, many of which are common to all diagnoses, in order to prevent more frequent retirement and permanent disability when possible. Further studies should assess the impact of cancer on premature exit from the labour market among survivors, depending on cancer localisation and type of treatment.
