This study explores relationships between individual, microsystem (work) characteristics, and quality of life (QOL) among young adult (YA; ages 20-39 years at diagnosis) hematologic cancer survivors. Forty YAs who had completed cancer therapy within the past 5 years were recruited through social media and completed an online survey. Poorer QOL was associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms, fatigue, impaired cognitive function, and poorer work ability and financial health (all < 0.05). A comprehensive understanding of work characteristics, including work ability, may lead to multilevel interventions improving QOL. Future research should include larger, more diverse samples of YA cancer survivors.
本研究探讨了个体、微观系统(工作)特征与青年血液癌幸存者生活质量(QOL)之间的关系。40 名在过去 5 年内完成癌症治疗的青年通过社交媒体招募,并完成了在线调查。较差的 QOL 与更高水平的抑郁症状、疲劳、认知功能受损以及较差的工作能力和财务健康相关(均 < 0.05)。全面了解工作特征,包括工作能力,可能会带来多层次的干预措施,以改善 QOL。未来的研究应包括更大、更多样化的青年癌症幸存者样本。
