Predictors of employment among cancer survivors after medical rehabilitation--a prospective study.
This study aimed to (i) investigate cancer survivor's employment status one year after the completion of a medical rehabilitation program and (ii) identify demographic, cancer, and psychosocial, treatment-, and work-related predictors of return to work (RTW) and time until RTW. ⋯ Our findings emphasize the high relevance of motivational factors. Occupational motivation and skepticism towards returning to work should be carefully assessed at the planning of the rehabilitation program.
