Summary: This study aimed to document the rates and correlates of return to work, work productivity, and activity impairment among Chinese cancer survivors in Hong Kong at one year post-treatment. The results showed that physically demanding jobs and poorer physical functioning delayed return to work, and unmanaged physical symptom and psychological distress hindered work productivity.

Summary: This study reviews different types of return-to-work interventions for cancer patients and finds that physical exercises, making working plans, vocational consultations, educational leaflets, and combinations of vocational and physical interventions have positive effects on enhancing cancer patients' return-to-work. Other interventions still need to be developed and validated.

Summary: The majority of localized prostate cancer survivors were able to maintain their work status three years after rehabilitation, with most showing continuous return-to-work patterns. Older age, low or middle socio-economic status, resigned and unambitious work behavior, and fatigue during rehabilitation were identified as prospective factors for not working at 36 months follow-up. Low socio-economic status and unambitious work behavior were the strongest predictors.

Summary: Work limitations due to health problems can have negative impacts on employment stability and financial situations, especially for cancer survivors who are particularly vulnerable. Addressing the potential impact of treatment on employment and financial outcomes is important for survivors to navigate complex resources. Further research into cancer-related work outcomes is necessary.

Summary: This study focuses on the return to work among working age adults who recovered from severe COVID-19. The findings suggest that return to work often requires several months of support and may be initiated earlier in the rehabilitation process. Additionally, there were no statistical differences in work ability index scores between 18 and 52 weeks after discharge.

Summary: Inpatient rehabilitation is common in Germany to improve return-to-work outcomes. This systematic scoping review identified various factors associated with return-to-work outcomes in musculoskeletal, psychological, and oncological health conditions. The study highlighted the importance of considering factors such as employment status, work ability, and health-related factors in rehabilitation programs. It also suggested the need for further research on gradual work reintegration programs and workplace interventions to enhance return-to-work outcomes.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the fidelity to the intervention and understand the social and structural context of its delivery by using mixed-method process evaluation. It also aims to identify the barriers and facilitators to intervention implementation. The study will observe the intervention training for therapists and analyze the use of remote mentor support. It will also assess fidelity through participant questionnaires and therapy record analysis. The study will conduct longitudinal case studies and interviews to understand the experiences of stroke survivors, carers, therapists, mentors, service managers, and employers. The qualitative and quantitative data will be independently analyzed and then synthesized to compare and integrate the findings. The study's results will be disseminated through various channels including journal publications and meetings with clinical leads.

Summary: The rising number of mental health disability claims and work absences due to depression have significant human, economic, and social costs, highlighting the need for targeted treatment interventions. Cognitive work hardening (CWH) has been shown to help individuals returning to work following a depressive episode, bridging the gap between disability and competitive employment. This case report demonstrates the positive outcomes of implementing CWH in preparing an individual to return to work after a period of disability leave due to depression.

Summary: The aim of the study was to evaluate an easily implementable return-to-work intervention for individuals with severe mental illnesses requiring inpatient treatment. The intervention group, which received support from case managers, showed higher rates of returning to work at 6 and 12 months compared to the control group. However, the differences were no longer statistically significant at 12 months.

Summary: More women are returning to work after breast cancer treatment. The 'Beyond Cancer' rehabilitation program was designed to support breast cancer survivors in their return to work. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of the intervention from the perspectives of breast cancer survivors, employers, and occupational rehabilitation providers. Results showed preliminary efficacy for primary work outcomes and high acceptability and engagement. Further research is needed to demonstrate broader implementation with other types of cancer.

Summary: The study found that early, individualized vocational rehabilitation interventions for cancer survivors can improve the return to work effect for breast cancer patients, but within a one-year observation period, no significant difference was seen in the return to work effect across different cancer diagnoses when comparing this intervention with usual municipal RTW management.
