Cancer@Work — a nurse-led stepped-care e-health intervention to enhance the return to work of patients with cancer: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

摘要

BackgroundAlthough the importance of work for patients with cancer is nowadays more acknowledged both in the literature as well as in cancer survivorship care, effective interventions targeting the return to work of these patients are still scarce. Therefore, we developed a nurse-led, stepped-care, e-health intervention aimed at enhancing the return to work of patients with cancer. The objective of this study is to describe the content of the intervention and the study design used to evaluate the feasibility and (cost) effectiveness of the intervention.
