Life Functioning in Chinese Survivors of Childhood Cancer in Hong Kong.

Evidence on self-care ability and occupational outcomes in Chinese survivors of childhood cancer is clearly lacking. This study aims to identify clinical and behavioral factors associated with poor life functioning in this population. This was a cross-sectional study conducted at an ambulatory clinic of a public hospital in Hong Kong.

Impact of Cognitive and Psychological Symptoms on Work Productivity and Quality of Life among Breast Cancer Survivors in Hong Kong.

Objective/background: Employed breast cancer survivors (BCS) may experience residual symptoms that can impact their work productivity and quality of life (QoL), but it is unclear whether such associations exist among BCS in Hong Kong. Therefore, this study was designed to explore the symptom burden (cognitive limitation and psychological distress) of employed BCS in HK, and to investigate whether such factors are related to work productivity and QoL.

Methods: A cross-sectional study including employed BCS (n = 30), women with musculoskeletal conditions (n = 30), and healthy women (n = 30) was conducted.
