Retour au travail de patients atteints de cancer

Debbie Kane, Dale Rajacich, Chantal Andary

Abstract


But : Cette étude s’est intéressée à l’expérience de survivants du cancer qui sont demeurés sur le marché du travail pendant leurs traitements ou y sont retournés après.

Méthodologie : À l’aide d’un devis exploratoire qualitatif, huit entrevues individuelles ont été réalisées auprès de patients traités pour différents cancers qui occupaient tous un emploi avant de recevoir le diagnostic.

Résultats : Les participants ont exprimé que le travail leur procurait un sentiment de normalité et d’identité personnelle, qu’il leur donnait un objectif. Sauf pour une participante, tous ont formulé les avantages de fréquenter un milieu de travail compréhensif. Plusieurs participants ont admis avoir vécu un stress financier, ignorant où trouver de l’aide financière.

Conclusion : D’autres recherches sont nécessaires afin de mieux explorer comment l’équipe soignante et l’employeur peuvent promouvoir des milieux de travail favorables et faciliter l’accès des personnes cancéreuses aux ressources financières.
