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 survivor-manager dyad in the context of RTW of cancer survivors, and to inform future studies by presenting theoretical, conceptual, and methodological considerations.
Different theoretical, conceptual, and methodological aspects are addressed that open new perspectives concerning the cancer survivor-manager dyad. Among the theoretical and conceptual aspects, we highlight the interest of developing dyadic coping models specific to the cancer survivor-manager dyad. This would allow the conceptualization of their interpersonal dynamics and to frame interventions aimed at supporting cancer survivors and managers. In addition, we encourage to study in more detail the quality of the relationship between the cancer survivor and manager, including its impact on work-related outcomes of the cancer survivor. Methodologically, the actor-partner interdependence model could be relevant to identify any interdependence in the cancer survivor-manager dyad. We also recommend using longitudinal and prospective studies to investigate the cancer survivor-manager dyad, as these studies are well suited to identify evolutive and dynamic aspects of the cancer survivor-manager dyad. Lastly, we propose a recruitment strategy of the dyad by involving a trustworthy third party, to respect the ethical framework, and the privacy and voluntary choice of cancer survivors.
需要针对促进癌症幸存者可持续重返工作岗位（RTW）的量身定制的干预措施。由于管理者在支持癌症幸存者重返工作岗位方面发挥着主要作用，因此非常需要更好地了解“癌症幸存者-管理者”的对偶过程。本文旨在介绍癌症幸存者-管理者对偶关系在癌症幸存者 RTW 中的背景，并通过提出理论、概念和方法方面的考虑，为未来的研究提供信息。
本文提出了不同的理论、概念和方法方面的考虑，为癌症幸存者-管理者对偶关系开辟了新的视角。在理论和概念方面，我们强调开发针对癌症幸存者-管理者对偶关系的对偶应对模型的兴趣。这将允许对其人际动态进行概念化，并为支持癌症幸存者和管理者的干预措施提供框架。此外，我们鼓励更详细地研究癌症幸存者和管理者之间的关系质量，包括其对癌症幸存者工作相关结果的影响。在方法上，演员-伙伴相互依存模型可用于识别癌症幸存者-管理者对偶关系中的任何相互依存关系。我们还建议使用纵向和前瞻性研究来调查癌症幸存者-管理者对偶关系，因为这些研究非常适合识别癌症幸存者-管理者对偶关系的演变和动态方面。最后，我们提出了一种通过涉及值得信赖的第三方来招募对偶关系的策略，以尊重伦理框架以及癌症幸存者的隐私和自愿选择。
