“…As has been shown in this study, many factors influence an individual's likelihood of returning to work following cancer, and this supports previous findings in the field [31,29]. Similar results are also presented in a recent literature review of cancer and work by Feuerstein et al [32] who identified several factors that influence an individual's return to work, work ability, work performance, and workplace retention.…”

Returning to work is an important part of life because it structures everyday life and strengthens the individual's identity. The quality of life results showed significant differences between workers and non-workers at the 24-month follow-up. The patients need to be both physically and mentally prepared for the process of returning to work. It is important to take an individual rehabilitation approach to guide and support the patients in returning to work and regaining an important aspect of their everyday life. In such an approach, it is vital to understand the patients' overall life context and the patients' own perspective on the process and meaning associated with work.

“…This together may put additional pressures on these survivors to either become impoverished or return to work earlier and/or more frequently than they otherwise might have been able to. For example, as seen in a previous study, the absence of free medical care or health insurance leads to a greater return to work …”

“…Another tentative but interesting finding suggests sex differences in return to work rates in this study. The studies from high‐income countries generally show higher return to work for men as compared with women . National statistics from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, 2012 data for India, suggest that only 27.6% of women are employed and 28.8% have labor force participation as compared to 78.3% and 80.9% for men, respectively .…”

“…Being a single time survey that included subjects with varied time since completion of treatment, the return to work may have been influenced by a complex interplay of social, demographic, and many other factors, which may shift over time. Several other factors that were not addressed in the current study but could be examined in future research include concerns about appearance, self‐efficacy, social support, workplace accommodations, birth or death of family members, and changes in the economy, etc …”

“…These 197 carers were identified from a previous population survey that investigated the needs of head and neck cancer patients in Ireland (Pearce et al, 2014). For that larger study, 197 carers completed a survey that examined (1) their experiences of interacting with health services and (2) their unmet needs.…”

Social networks, social support and social negativity: A qualitative study of head and neck cancer caregivers' experiences

et al. 2016

Head and neck cancer is a serious form of cancer that can generate substantial physical and psychosocial morbidity. Informal caregivers can help patients to manage head and neck cancer and its emotional impacts, both during and after treatment. Caregivers, however, can experience considerable stress as a result of their caring activities. Supportive relationships can protect caregivers from psychosocial strain. Thirty-one head and neck cancer caregivers were interviewed about their experiences of accessing social support from their social networks; difficulties that they experienced accessing this support; and strategies that they used to address these difficulties. Results suggest that head and neck cancer caregivers strongly value social support, but can find it difficult to obtain, and a number of them experience socially negative responses from their networks. Some carers attempt to answer or supplement support deficiencies by turning to non-human coping supports, such as pets, spiritual figures or medication. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
