A more detailed understanding of unmet organizational support needs and workplace-based best practices for supporting cancer survivors is needed.
Ninety-four working breast cancer survivors responded to an open-ended survey question regarding the desired types of organizational support that were and were not received during early survivorship. We performed content-analysis of qualitative data.
Major themes included instrumental support, emotional support, and time-based support. The need for flexible arrangements and reduced workloads was mostly met. Unmet needs included navigation/coordination, understanding/empathy, and time off for treatment and recovery.
Organizational support can help cancer survivors manage their health and work roles, diminishing work-health conflict and turnover intent. Study findings can be used to design targeted interventions to fulfill cancer survivors' unmet organizational support needs, which may also apply to workers with other chronic health conditions.
需要更详细地了解未满足的组织支持需求以及支持癌症幸存者的基于工作场所的最佳实践。
94 名正在工作的乳腺癌幸存者对一个开放式调查问题做出了回应，该问题涉及他们在早期生存期间希望得到和未得到的组织支持类型。我们对定性数据进行了内容分析。
主要主题包括工具支持、情感支持和基于时间的支持。对灵活安排和减少工作量的需求大多得到了满足。未满足的需求包括导航/协调、理解/同理心以及用于治疗和康复的休假时间。
组织支持可以帮助癌症幸存者管理他们的健康和工作角色，减轻工作-健康冲突和离职意愿。研究结果可用于设计有针对性的干预措施，以满足癌症幸存者未满足的组织支持需求，这些干预措施也可能适用于患有其他慢性健康状况的员工。
