Also, interaction effects highlighted the role of age (younger) and marital status (single) as risk factors for a greater negative impact of variables affecting the survivor’s HRQOL.
In particular, being employed (vs unemployed) had the greatest positive association with HRQOL, affecting ten of the twelve HRQOL domains considered. Survival phase, cancer type, and employment status showed the main effects on cancer survivors’ HRQOL. An instrument specifically designed to assess HRQOL in cancer survivors and Multivariate Variance Analysis (MANOVA) were used. MethodsĬross-sectional study on a heterogeneous sample of 772 working-age survivors of adult-onset cancer.
The present study aims to discern the degree to which employment status is independently associated with cancer survivors’ HRQOL or if it mainly reflects the impact of other sociodemographic and cancer-related variables. However, the sociodemographic and disease-related profiles characterizing the survivors being employed and those having better HRQOL largely overlap. Having a job has been associated with better Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) in cancer survivors.
