研究概览
简要总结
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the iCanWork intervention in assisting cancer survivors (CS) to return to work (RTW) and its impact on their health-related quality of life (QoL), health service utilization, RTW readiness, time to RTW, and work capacity.
详细描述
The iCanWork intervention comprises several elements related to health and work, taken from the latest reviews that recommend a remote and individual intervention, led by a vocational rehabilitation counsellor (VRC), experts in assisting RTW for CS. The intervention includes 6 sessions with a VRC and 1-4 sessions with an occupational therapist (OT). A total of 270 CS will be recruited into 2 groups (intervention or control). The duration of this study is 24 months. Study participants will complete electronic questionnaires measuring study variables at baseline before randomization and at 6-month, 12-month, 18-month, and 24-month follow-ups.
