摘要：
Purpose: This study aimed to comprehensively understand and investigate the various challenges that Korean cancer survivors experience when returning to work (RTW). Methods: This study employed qualitative content analysis based on in-depth interviews to comprehensively understand and investigate the various issues faced by Korean cancer survivors when RTW. Results: The cancer survivors' RTW experiences were categorized into five themes: "Difficulties in work life due to social awareness of cancer," "Difficult and complex administrative procedures for RTW," "Facilitators for RTW," "Barriers to RTW," and "Demands for a successful RTW," with a total of 11 sub-themes and 35 codes. Conclusion: Cancer survivors should strive to accurately recognize their individual physical changes to ensure a successful return to work. Moreover, accommodating cancer survivors in the workplace by providing flexible work schedules or offering sick leave, while considering their health status, can help promote successful RTW outcomes.
