Implication

Mixed-methods study reveals persistent fatigue, depression, and reduced work ability in breast cancer survivors, highlighting the need for personalized occupational reintegration.

Key Points

  • Persistent fatigue and depression afflicted female survivors at the one-year evaluation, and work ability parameters showed no significant improvement from baseline.
  • Thematic analysis of the interviews identified personal, company, and societal factors, which hindered successful return to work despite available benefits.
  • Highlights the inadequacy of standard statutory protections alone, calling for personalized interventions to support breast cancer survivors in their careers.
