Taking action, return-to-work strategies used by Iranian cancer survivors: a qualitative study
Cancer survivors actively engaged in RTW. They evaluate their situations before returning to work, seek to accommodate themselves to their circumstances and impress their workplaces to gain the necessary support. Healthcare providers, employers and families, as the most influential parties in the RTW process of cancer survivors, should recognise survivors' positive strategies and provide informational, financial, emotional and occupational support.
