abstract: 'BACKGROUND: Accumulating evidence suggests that cancer survivors are
able to return to work. However, little is known about their work
situation 5 years after diagnosis.
OBJECTIVE: To explore fluctuations in employment status and its
association with quality of life 2, 3, and 5 years after cancer
diagnosis of 65 cancer survivors employed at diagnosis.
METHODS: In association with a randomised controlled trial (RCT),
questionnaires were administrated to eligible cancer survivors at
diagnosis, 2, 3, and 5 years thereafter comprising of validated
questionnaires related to work (i.e. Work Ability Index (WAI), cancer,
and quality of life (QOL) (i.e. SF-36, VAS QOL). The RCT studied a
hospital-based work support intervention in female breast and
gynaecological cancer survivors who were treated with curative intent
and had paid work at diagnosis. Descriptive statistics and longitudinal
multi-level analysis were employed.
RESULTS: Sixty-five of the 102 eligible cancer survivors participated,
who were primarily diagnosed with breast cancer (63\%). Two and 5 years
after cancer diagnosis respectively 63 (97\%) and 48 (81\%) participants
were employed. Reasons for not being employed after 5 years included
receiving unemployment benefits (7\%), voluntary unemployment (3\%),
receiving disability benefits (3\%), and early retirement (3\%).
Longitudinal multi-level analysis showed that employed cancer survivors
reported in general statistically significant better quality of life
outcomes at 5 years follow-up compared to those not being employed.
CONCLUSIONS: We found high employment rates and few fluctuations in
employment status. The steepest decline in employment rate occurs after
the first two years of diagnosis. Employed participants reported better
quality of life outcomes. Survivorship care should therefore focus on
the population at risk possibly within the first two years after
diagnosis.'
