Potential profile analysis of return-to-work readiness and self-efficacy in postoperative breast cancer patients who have returned to work
To identify the latent profiles of return-to-work readiness (RRTW) and return-to-work self-efficacy (RTW-SE) among postoperative breast cancer patients who have returned to work, and to analyze their influencing factors.
Approach:
Study Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 173 breast cancer patients from a tertiary Grade A hospital in Chengdu, China.
Data Collection: Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the 9-item Franche RRTW Scale, and the 11-item Lagerveld RTW-SE Scale.
Analysis Methods: Latent profile analysis (LPA) was used to identify distinct subgroups, and logistic regression analysis examined influencing factors.
Key Findings:
Two distinct latent profiles were identified: 'Uncertain Maintenance-Low Self-Efficacy' (34.68%) and 'Proactive Maintenance-High Self-Efficacy' (65.32%).
Factors significantly associated with the high self-efficacy profile included daily working time of 6–8 hours (OR = 2.303, 95% CI: 1.058-5.015), older age (OR = 1.062, 95% CI: 1.003-1.125), and higher work satisfaction (OR = 2.078, 95% CI: 1.319-3.271).
Interpretation:
Limitations:
The study utilized convenience sampling, which may limit the generalizability of the findings due to potential selection bias.
The cross-sectional design does not allow for causal inferences.
