: Descriptive statistics were used to synthesize data extracted from the articles.ResultsTen different instruments were used across the 29 articles, with the RTWSE-11 (n = 9) being the most frequently used. Articles explored the relationship between RTW-SE and various outcome variables including employment status, and expected time to RTW. Several articles also examined the extent to which RTW-SE predicted RTW, time to RTW, and work ability. Six articles tested psychosocial interventions, with half also incorporating a physical component to improve RTW-SE. None of the articles reported information about thresholds for meaningful change for RTW-SE.ConclusionsThis scoping review summarizes the current literature that describes the role of RTW-SE among cancer survivors who are in the process of returning to work. Future research is needed to determine the predictive validity and sensitivity to change of RTW-SE measures.
