入选标准

  • For the RCT on cancer patients: The sample will be composed of cancer survivors
  • of working age (18-64 years of age at time of diagnosis), with histologically
  • confirmed cancer and a life expectancy of more than one year. At study entry,
  • eligible cancer survivors have a fixed or temporary employment contract, with
  • at least six months left of their contract, and a history of paid work for at
  • least one year prior to diagnosis (with a minimum of 8 contracted working
  • hours/week). Cancer survivors can both be at work or (partly) on sick leave
  • when entering the study. Cancer survivors will be recruited 3-18 months
  • post-diagnosis. The cut-off for the maximum time post-diagnosis was set at 18
  • months in order to complete the intervention before a potential WIA assessment,
  • which takes place at 24 months of sick leave to determine whether someone will
  • receive work disability benefits (18 + 6 months intervention = 24 months).
  • Cancer survivors will be eligible for inclusion if they are, or have been,
  • treated with at least radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. Prior research has
  • shown that cancer survivors who received complex treatments, i.e.,
  • chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or a combination thereof, indicated lower
  • workability than cancer survivors who were treated by means of surgery alone
  • [6]. Therefore, we conclude that cancer survivors who have received
  • chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, alone or in combination with hormonal
  • therapy, immunotherapy, or surgery, could potentially benefit more from the
  • STEPS intervention than cancer survivors who were treated by means of hormonal
  • therapy, immunotherapy, or surgery alone. Patients should have a life
  • expectancy of more than 1 year.
  • For the partner cohort: Partners are defined as being married to or cohabiting
  • with a cancer survivors at the time of the cancer diagnosis and at study entry.
  • Eligible partners are between 18-65 years of age, had paid work (i.e., have a
  • fixed or a temporary employment contract, or are self-employed) at the time of
  • diagnosis of the cancer survivors, and have a history of paid work for at
  • least one year prior to diagnosis (i.e., a minimum of 8 working hours/week).
  • Partners of cancer survivors can be at work or (partly) on sick leave when
  • entering the study. Both partners of cancer survivors who accepted the
  • invitation to participate in the RCT and partners of those cancer survivors who
  • declined participation in the RCT will be eligible to participate. For the
  • cohort study, partners of patients who were diagnosed with cancer a maximum of
  • five years ago are eligible.

排除标准

  • For the RCT on cancer patients: Cancer survivors will be excluded if their
  • treating physicians consider occupational rehabilitation unfeasible, if cancer
  • survivors have serious cognitive or psychiatric problems, or serious physical
  • comorbidities that would preclude them from participating in an occupational
  • rehabilitation program, and/or if cancer survivors lack basic proficiency in
  • Dutch. cancer survivors participating in concurrent studies or rehabilitation
  • programs aimed at RTW or continuation of work prior to their potential
  • participation in the STEPS study will also be excluded. cancer survivors will
  • be asked about their participation in concurrent studies or rehabilitation
  • programs on the screening questionnaire and during the screening interview by
  • telephone. Furthermore, cancer survivors will be excluded if they are, or have
  • been, treated by means of surgery, immunotherapy, or anti-hormonal therapy
  • alone. Lastly, cancer survivors will be excluded if they refuse the involvement
  • of their employer in the STEPS intervention.
  • For the partner cohort: Partners will be excluded in case of serious
  • self-reported cognitive or psychiatric problems that would prevent them from
  • completing the questionnaires, and/or in case they are not able to understand
  • and complete a questionnaire in Dutch.
