Étape 8 sur 10 de la préparation au retour au travail :
Pendant leur arrêt de travail, certains survivants du cancer peuvent perdre leur conditionnement et leurs habitudes de travail. Qu’ils aient suivi ou non un traitement, le fait de ressentir de la fatigue est fréquent après le retour au travail. Des conseils opportuns axés sur le travail et portant sur la fatigue, le sommeil et la gestion des symptômes peuvent aider les survivants du cancer à reprendre le travail. Les fournisseurs de soins de santé peuvent encourager les survivants à envisager et à mettre en pratique leurs routines de travail, par exemple en restructurant leurs heures de réveil en fonction de leurs horaires de travail, en tentant (si cela ne présente aucun danger) une simulation de travail et en se préparant aux temps de trajet. Vous pouvez encourager les survivants à discuter avec leurs amis et les membres de leur famille des nouvelles contraintes de temps et d’énergie potentielles qu’ils pourraient rencontrer lors de leur retour au travail et de la manière dont ils peuvent être soutenus.
