Adaptability to return to work is a process by which cancer survivors(CSs) utilize accessible resources to reconstruct themselves. While the stigma, financial situation and social support are known to influence their adaptability to return to work, the mechanisms by which these factors work remain unclear. This study proposes a moderated mediation model to signify a pathway linking stigma to the adaptability to return to work.

This meta-synthesis aims to systematically review these qualitative studies regarding employers' experiences with CSs' RTW.
Methods: Five electronic databases were searched from inception to January 2024 to identify the studies.
Article Synopsis
- The research on cancer patients returning to work in China is early-stage, highlighting the need for a specialized tool, the Adaptability to Return-to-Work Scale (ARTWS), to measure this group's adaptability.
- The ARTWS was developed through expert feedback and testing, resulting in a 24-item scale that identifies key factors influencing work adaptability: "Focusing on rehabilitation," "Rebuilding Self-efficiency," and "Adjusting plans," which account for 66.6% of variance.
- The scale demonstrated strong reliability and validity, making it a valuable resource for assessing cancer patients' readiness to return to work.
Purpose: Return to work for cancer survivors (CSs) may be challenging, and there is a research gap in integrating the relevant experiences of the return-to-work decision-making process for CSs. Our aim was to synthesize existing qualitative research that integrates the dynamic experiences of CSs in the return-to-work decision-making process and highlights the factors influencing the return-to-work decisions of CSs.
Methods: We retrieved qualitative studies on a relevant theme published in the PubMed, EBSCO, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL databases since construction to December 2023.
