Introduction : Il existe de nombreuses directives sur la prescription d’activité physique adaptée (APA) chez les patients atteints d’un cancer, mais des directives en APA visant à promouvoir le retour au travail (RAT) des patients diagnostiqués d’un cancer sont manquants. L’objectif de cette étude est de décrire les directives existantes qui recomm...

Objective: There is a need for tailored interventions aimed at promoting the sustainable return to work (RTW) of cancer survivors. As managers have a primary role in supporting cancer survivors to return to work, a better understanding of the "cancer survivor-manager" dyadic process is much needed. The aim of this paper is to introduce the cancer...

La période de « l’après cancer » est souvent marquée par la persistance de symptômes physiques, cognitifs et émotionnels liés à la maladie et/ou aux traitements, ayant un impact sur les capacités fonctionnelles, la qualité de vie et la vie professionnelle des patients en âge de travailler. Le retour au travail (RAT) après le diagnostic d’un cancer...

Pur pose A significant proportion of women with breast cancer want to RTW (return to work) after treatment. Employers play a key role in facilitating RTW for these employees who face distinct challenges. However, the portrait of these challenges remains to be documented from the perspective of employer representatives. The purpose of this article i...

The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of BC care pathways (timing and sequence of treatments) and related symptoms on RTW. Methods The study population included working-age women with BC who were enrolled in the French CONSTANCES coho...

Purpose: Machine learning (ML) methods showed a higher accuracy in identifying individuals without cancer who were unable to return to work (RTW) compared to the classical methods (e.g. logistic regression models). We therefore aim to discuss the value of these methods in relation to RTW for cancer survivors. Methods: Breast cancer (BC) survivors w...

L’accompagnement professionnel des patients en âge de travailler est d’une importance de santé publique majeure en cancérologie. Toutefois, qu’ils reprennent le travail ou non, la priorité reste de préserver leur qualité de vie. D’ailleurs, pour certains patients, un arrêt de la carrière professionnelle peut avoir lieu au profit d’un engagement ass...

Background Managers are considered to be main stakeholders in the return to work (RTW) of cancer survivors. However, the perspectives of cancer survivors and managers differ on what managerial actions should be taken during the RTW of cancer survivors. This difference might put effective collaboration and successful RTW at risk. Therefore, this stu...

This short report aims to present current knowledge on endometriosis. The daily repercussions of endometriosis and their impact on women’s psychological state, the resentment often expressed towards doctors associated with diagnosis delay, influencing both appropriation and adaptation to the disease and driving women mainly to self-manage are discu...

Objectives Because the full version of the Post‐Traumatic Growth Inventory was considered too long, a short English version (10 items/five factors) was initially proposed in the literature (PTGI‐SF). Thereafter another short Italian version (10 items/five factors) and a unidimensional English version (11 items) were proposed. This study aimed at ev...

Introduction Le cancer représente une des causes majeures de morbidité dans le monde, avec environ 19,3 millions de nouveaux cas diagnostiqués en 2020.

Dans cette revue, nous décrivons le concept d’exposome professionnel, en soulignant son intérêt pour appréhender la complexité des expositions en milieu de travail et saisir l’ensemble de leurs déterminants. Une approche organisationnelle de cet exposome est par ailleurs proposée. Elle vise, en lui donnant une perspective interdisciplinaire, à élar...

L’objectif est d’étudier les liens entre précarité sociale, soutien social perçu et retour au travail (RAT) dans la première année suivant le début des traitements adjuvants du cancer du sein. Soixante-huit patientes incluses au début des traitements adjuvants (T0) ont été suivies à 3 (T1) et 12 mois (T2). Le soutien informatif des amis à T0 favori...

Introduction Depressive symptoms and fatigue are well known factors affecting return-to-work (RTW) after breast cancer (BC). However, the RTW process may in turn have a positive impact on long-term health and psychological well-being among breast cancer survivors (BCS). Objective Our aim was to identify RTW trajectories within the 5-years followin...

Introduction The return-to-work (RTW) process after breast cancer (BC) can be complex. Simple static measures used to assess RTW may ignore this dynamic multi-stage process that are yet important for targeting interventions aimed at reducing poor RTW outcomes. Objectives Our aim was to identify RTW trajectories after BC using the sequence analysis...

Purpose The MFI was developed in 1995 to assess fatigue as a multidimensional concept. This questionnaire has been widely translated and used; however, its multidimensional structure has not been consistent across studies. In addition there is a need for short questionnaires in the clinical context. Therefore, we aim to develop a MFI-short version...

In order to clarify these definitions, we conducted a literature review that will also identify the determinants of each of these concepts

Introduction : Le diagnostic de cancer du sein, les symptômes et les effets secondaires des traitements, entraînent de multiples déficits physiques et psychologiques qui peuvent avoir des effets sur la vie professionnelle.
