Nurses’ returning to work after cancer: A focus group study
Background
Nurses diagnosed with cancer face unique challenges when returning to work, yet there is limited understanding of their transition.
Purpose
To explore nurses’ return-to-work experiences post cancer diagnosis and clarify related facilitators and challenges.
Methods
This focus group study employed a content analysis with constant comparative approach and member checking. This study recruited nurses treated for any type of cancer who had experience returning to clinical positions.
Findings
Five focus groups with 17 female nurses (mean age = 51.8) were performed; 47.1% had breast cancer. Four main themes were identified: (a) motivation, incentives, and the need to return to work; (b) setbacks hindering the return; (c) navigating new work dynamics; and (d) evolving professional role during the return to work.
Discussion
This study illustrates personal and professional growth and struggles that attend returning to work as a nurse with cancer. This insight informs strategies to support continuing these nurses’ careers.
