癌症的發展呈現年輕化與慢性化的趨勢,愈來愈多人在職涯發展過程中,遭遇與癌病共存的職涯轉折;相對於重返職場對癌友預後的正向助益性,癌友在重返職場的過程中,也存在著各式的需求和困境。本研究以質性訪談的方式,目的是探討癌友回歸職場的經驗,期望瞭解癌友生活與就業歷程中的實況,以作為制度及服務設計的參考;研究透過主責社工以及受訪癌友轉介的方式,取得8位癌友同意參與研究訪談。研究發現癌友重返職場的經濟需求具有文化多元性的意涵,需勞動、不能停滯、依賴,是癌友對日常經濟壓力的具體詮釋;而有助於癌友回歸的職場條件,除了制度的彈性與保障之外,既有的職場人際品質,以及出自於彼此認識及尊重的接納,是支持癌友持續工作的重要力量;繼續工作的好處,為癌友帶來身體與人際的復健資源,也讓癌友在規律的作息中體會正常的生活感受,幫助自己與調適中的身體共存。有鑑於重返職場的正向經驗與挑戰,工作者必須以更貼近癌友生活的方式,理解癌友的需求,在服務設計上,建立以協助癌友重返職場為目的之介入管理計畫,以癌友需求為中心,落實需求評估、跨專業個案管理服務,以及無障礙職場環境的倡導。
