Psychosocial risks at the workplace and quality of life in cancer survivors in employment

Career and work‐related issues have a relevant role in personal identity and family life. When cancer is diagnosed at a working age (between 16 and 64 y), survivors are faced with disabilities that can impair the ability to continue working. According to a systematic review including 30 studies, cognitive limitations and fatigue symptoms and distress emerge as results of the illness. Nevertheless, previous research seems to indicate that cancer survivors are motivated to continue working or return to work after the diagnosis and primary treatment. Work is understood as a natural part of their everyday life and resuming work represents the return to normality and a healthy existence, improved functionality, and quality of life (QoL). However, successful return to work after cancer can be affected by employer‐related factors such as flexibility, assistance, and colleagues' support. In line with these findings, the purpose of this study was to compare the exposure to psychosocial risks at work and overall QoL of cancer survivors with that of their peers in the general population. Furthermore, we examine the relationship between these risks and survivors' overall QoL.
