Breast cancer survivors face employment challenges. How to promote BC's return work is important for improving their quality of life and promoting recovery. Numerous studies have reported that BC encounter challenges due cognitive limitations, alongside factors. healthcare Professional has a good educational background level also the closest combination sociocultural tradition systems, however, there lack on experience as survivors. A descriptive qualitative study was conducted investigate experiences professionals returning following breast diagnosis. 20 doctors nurses were interviewed face-to-face with semi-structured interview guide in three municipal hospitals. Four major themes corresponding sub-themes extracted from collected data follows: (1) Return Work: Willingness Conflicts; (2) Cancer Progression Anxiety; (3) Physical Mental Re-Awareness, including Decreased Ability, Frustration Diminished Self-Esteem; 4. Reflection Re-planning, Past Self-Questioning, Active Life Revitalizing Life's Value, (4) Career Changes: Coping Adapting. This revealed positive reintegration into workforce among participants China's notably advanced medical understanding. It implies that, survivors, rich knowledge, stable environment, substantial income, robust support colleagues superiors play role enhancing adaptability post Additionally, interviewees expressed guilt during sick leave, it suggested hospitals implement comprehensive mechanisms related acknowledging imperative need adequate rest treatment period.

Abstract Purpose To systematically review qualitative studies on outcomes, needs, experiences, preferences, concerns and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) people surviving cancer in Europe the last decade. Methods Protocol registered ( https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO , ID575065). Inclusion criteria: with methods, constructs related to HRQoL, adults Europe. The search was conducted PubMed Scopus since 2013. Abstracts full text were revised, data extracted study risk bias assessed independently by two researchers. primary outcomes themes arising from each study. A thematic analysis stratified according objective undertaken grouping into categories. Results Of 18,256 articles identified, 43 fulfilled inclusion 16 a generic 27 specific objectives. Seven categories (57 themes) emerged focus: Clinical Management (n = 16), Symptoms Physical Function 5), Psychological 21), Social 18), HRQoL 3), Life Disruption 6), Individual Factors 1). 12 focused treatment care experiences stand out among those objectives, most fitting same seven Conclusions clearly showed predominance social psychological function domains over physical cancer, additionally identifying needs clinical management, such as information communication, relationship support professionals. Therefore, these aspects should be incorporated evaluation patient-centred initiatives for cancer. Limitations: only databases searched, European countries not represented.

Advances in medical care have made cancer rehabilitation an essential component of comprehensive treatment. However, bibliometric analyses this field remain limited. This study maps the global research landscape over past decade. Relevant publications on from 2013 to 2023 were retrieved Web Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. Bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and R package "Bibliometrics." A total 6743 98 countries demonstrated sustained growth, peaking 2022. The USA (1581 publications) China (974) led output, while Netherlands recorded highest citation impact (32.75 citations per paper). Key institutions included University Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (148 Memorial Sloan Kettering (40.58 Supportive Care ranked as most influential journal. Research efforts primarily focused exercise interventions (n = 404), quality life 688), breast 440). Recent trends highlighted telemedicine, digital health, cancer-related lymphedema. highlights dominance high-income identifies exercise, life, enduring focal points. Emerging priorities include technology-driven lymphedema management. critical gaps remain, such underrepresentation low-resource regions, limited focus pediatric populations, insufficient integration advanced technologies (e.g., AI, wearables). Future should emphasize equitable resource distribution, evidence-based models, scalable solutions address disparities improve survivorship care.
