探索癌症復工者就業現況與復工相關之影響因子

目的：本研究目的乃試圖了解癌症復工者之工作現況以及可能遭遇到的問題。方法：收案地點位於台灣北部某醫學中心，以問卷方式調查20－70歲領有固定薪水的癌症復工者，收集其人口學屬性、疾病狀況及就業現況變化等資料，以基本統計學方法探索與癌症存活者復工相關的影響因子。結果：本研究共收案500人，受試者平均年齡約51歲，男性佔約30%，女性約70%，大部分均為已婚或同居狀態（66.0%）；在行業別部分，以製造業最多（13.9%）；在疾病狀況的部分，以乳癌佔最多（46.8%）。大部分的癌症復工者的工作時間、內容、作業場所、薪水、職場環境均無顯著改變；然而，約80%的癌症復工者的雇主並沒有提供癌症復工者職災相關諮詢。超過一半的癌症復工者表示罹病並沒有影響自身的工作表現；而超過8成左右的癌症復工者認為在工作崗位獲得足夠支持，甚至有將近9成左右的癌症復工者認為自己在工作環境中並沒有遭受歧視的情況。結論：醫療人員以及職場主管需了解癌症復工者可能遭遇到的問題，給予適當的同理心並提供充足的時間，以增加癌症病人對復工後的信心，營造更友善的職場環境。

Background and purpose: The aim of the present study was trying to investigate the working condition of cancer survivors and the influencing factors after returning to work. Method: Our study was conducted at a medical center in northern Taiwan, using a structured questionnaire to interview cancer survivors aged 20-70 who had a job and fixed salary. We collected information of their demographic characteristics, disease status, and changes in workplace. Basic statistical methods were used to explore the factors related to return-to-work of cancer survivors. Results: A total of 500 patients were enrolled in this study and the mean age of participants were 51 years with 30% males and 70% females. Most of the subjects were cohabiting or married couples (66.0%). Among industries, manufacturing was the largest (13.9%). In the part of disease conditions, breast cancer accounted for the largest population (46.8%). According to the subjects, the working hours, content, working environment, salary have not changed significantly after returning to work. However, nearly 80% of the subjects addressed that they did not receive consultation of occupational accidents from employers. More than half of the participants said that the illness did not affect their work performance. Last but not least, more than 80% of the subjects believed that they have enough support at workplace and nearly 90% of enrolled patients expressed that they were not discriminated in the work environment. Conclusion: Medical personnel and employers must understand the problems that cancer survivors might encounter after returning to work and give proper empathy and sufficient time should also be provided to increase cancer patients' confidence in return-to- work to create an attractive and supportive work environment.
