This study explored young adult (YA; 18-39 years of age) cancer survivors' perspectives on and experiences with return to work (RTW) following primary cancer treatment. A prospective qualitative longitudinal method was employed, using in-depth telephone interviews at three time points. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Five people (ages 25-40) participated and four themes were identified: YAs face uncertainty about RTW; cancer may be a catalyst for career change; employment benefits are important; and YA-specific resources are needed to support RTW.
本研究探讨了青年癌症幸存者（18-39 岁）在完成主要癌症治疗后重返工作岗位（RTW）的观点和经历。采用前瞻性定性纵向方法，在三个时间点进行深入的电话访谈。使用主题分析进行数据分析。有五人（年龄 25-40 岁）参与，确定了四个主题：年轻人面临 RTW 的不确定性；癌症可能成为职业转变的催化剂；就业福利很重要；需要针对年轻人的特定资源来支持 RTW。
