目的·系统评价中青年癌症生存者重返工作(return-to-work)干预方案的应用情况及其在改善癌症生存者工作相关结局中的效果。方法·计算机检索PubMed、Cochrane Library、Embase、中国知网、万方等8个电子数据库,检索时限为建库到2022年8月2日,纳入重返工作干预方案对癌症生存者工作相关结局的随机对照试验(randomized controlled trial,RCT)和类实验研究。由2名研究者一组独立对文献进行筛选、资料提取,并采用JBI(Joanna Briggs Institute)文献真实性评价工具进行方法学质量评价。结果·共纳入13篇原始研究,涉及11套重返工作干预方案,含2 045例癌症生存者;其中7项为RCT研究。系统评价结果显示,有10项干预方案为多学科干预,干预内容包含疾病/心理健康教育、小组讨论、物理康复、工作能力锻炼、多学科团队会议和咨询等模块,其中3项干预方案还将雇主纳入支持方案中。干预持续时间从7 d到1年不等。纳入的干预方案中有8项以重返工作率作为主要结局指标,但仅3项报道了差异具有统计学意义,而其中2项为未设置对照组的类实验研究设计;纳入的干预方案在重返工作时长、工作改变情况、工作能力、工作意义等工作相关结局指标上并未呈现较明确的积极效果。结论·癌症生存者重返工作干预方案的内容、形式、强度、频次差异较大,且干预对工作相关结局的效果尚不明确。国内在该领域的干预研究仍待开发和探索,研究者应进一步挖掘癌症生存者重返工作的影响机制,并基于此制定多学科协作的干预方案来帮助中青年癌症生存者重返工作,回归社会。此外,受研究质量和干预方案异质性的限制,上述结论仍需更多高质量的原始研究做进一步验证。

Objective ·To systematically evaluate the application of return-to-work intervention programs to young and middle-aged cancer survivors and its effectiveness in improving work-related outcomes in cancer survivors. Methods ·An initial literature search of eight electronic databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI and Wanfang was conducted with a time frame from inception to Aug 2nd, 2022 to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental studies of return-to-work interventions on work-related outcomes among cancer survivors. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening, data extraction, and methodological quality evaluation using the JBI (Joanna Briggs Institute) Methodology Quality Evaluation Tool. Results ·A total of 13 original studies were included, involving 11 return-to-work intervention programs, containing 2 045 cancer survivors. The results of the systematic evaluation showed that 10 of the intervention programs were multidisciplinary, with intervention modules on disease/mental health education, group discussions, physical rehabilitation, work capacity exercises, multidisciplinary team meetings and counselling. Among them, three interventions also included employers in the support program. The duration of the interventions ranged from 7 d to one year. Eight of the included interventions took return-to-work rates as a primary outcome, but only three reported that the difference was statistically significant, two of which were quasi-experimental studies without control group. Besides, no clear positive effects were found on work-related outcome such as length of return-to-work, change of work status, work ability, and work meaning. Conclusion ·The content, format, intensity and frequency of return-to-work intervention programs for cancer survivors vary widely, and the effects of interventions on work-related outcomes are still unclear. Researchers should further explore the mechanisms that influence cancer survivors′ return-to-work, and develop multidisciplinary intervention programs based on this to effectively help young and middle-aged cancer survivors return-to-work and society. In addition, due to the limitations of study quality and intervention program heterogeneity, more high-quality experimental studies are needed to further validate the above findings.

随着癌症早期筛查的开展和治疗技术的发展,癌症发病率和生存率同步提升,患者年轻化趋势明显。预计到2030年,全球将有7 500万癌症生存者[1]。据我国肿瘤控制中心报告,我国癌症生存者每年新增超140万人[2]。在上海,虽然癌症发病率逐年上升,但死亡率却呈现持续下降的态势[3]。同时美国癌症协会报道,在年轻群体中几乎所有癌症类型的发病率都在增加[4]。可见,中青年癌症生存者已成为居民健康管理中不容忽视的庞大群体。身为家庭的中坚力量和社会发展最主要的劳动力,中青年承担了工作、赡养老人等诸多社会责任。但在长期抗癌过程中,中青年生存者及其家庭面临巨大的经济负担。数据[5]显示,21~60岁的癌症生存者每人每年的经济损失为16 213美元。因此,促进他们作为社会劳动资源重返工作对实现个人价值、减轻家庭负担具有重要意义。目前,有限的证据显示中青年癌症生存者正面临着重返工作需求强烈、现实情况却受限的尴尬局面[6-7]。目前,国际上针对促进癌症生存者重返工作的干预方案已有广泛探索,但干预内容差异较大,且干预效果并不明确。因此,本研究旨在系统评价重返工作干预方案的应用情况和实施效果,为临床研究和康复实践提供循证依据。

2.3 纳入文献的质量评价情况
2.4 癌症生存者重返工作干预方案系统评价结果
如表2所示,纳入的13篇研究中仅有1篇研究报告了理论框架,即STAPELFELDT等[15]指出应用“癌症和工作模型(the cancer and work model)”[21]作为构建重返工作方案的理论框架。而从干预类别上看,10种干预方案[8-17,19-20]均为多学科团队介入的干预,干预内容包含疾病/心理健康教育、小组讨论、物理康复、工作能力锻炼、多学科团队会议和咨询等模块,且肿瘤科护士、肿瘤科医师、物理康复治疗师、职业康复治疗师、心理治疗师、艺术治疗师等多角色参与。干预频次从每日1次到间隔数月1次,干预持续时间从7 d到1年不等。FAUSER等[9-10]的方案中仅对各模块需要的最少时长进行了规定。4项干预方案[14-17,20]根据患者的个体化需求来确定模块的内容和频次。

对重返工作干预效果的测评指标主要包括重返工作率、重返工作时长、工作能力、角色功能等。纳入的13篇研究中有10篇研究[9-11,13-18,20]测评了随访时间段内的重返工作率,但仅有3篇研究[11,13-14]报道了该指标具有显著差异。其中,LEENSEN等[11]和RUSBRIDGE等[14]的研究为无对照组的类实验研究设计。4篇研究测评了癌症生存者的工作能力[11,13,16-17],其中LEENSEN等[11]采用无对照的类实验研究发现,研究对象在接受多学科干预后6、12和18个月的工作能力显著提升。除工作能力结局指标外,部分研究还纳入了工作意义、工作限制、重返工作自我效能等相关结局指标。
3 讨论
3.1 重返工作的定义亟需进一步明确和统一
尽管全球范围内越来越频繁地提到“重返工作”一词,但定义尚未统一,这也可能是本系统评价中发现重返工作的干预效果并不明确的原因之一。YOUNG等[22]在研究中指出,重返工作包括4个关键阶段,从“离开岗位”,即从工人因残疾而离开工作岗位的第1日开始。这个解释得到了一些研究者[11,15-17]的支持,认为研究对象的纳入标准应满足“在癌症诊断前或诊断时处于工作状态”。但本系统评价纳入的一些研究并不强调个人在诊断前或诊断时的工作状态,而是认为从没有工作的状态到治疗后再就业的过程均属于重返工作[9-10,14]。因此,重返工作的概念需要通过概念分析进一步明确,这也是未来在全球范围内更好地整合和比较重返工作相关研究的重要基石。
3.2 重返工作的构建和效果验证方法学质量有待进一步提高
同时,结果显示纳入13篇研究的方法学质量评价结果一般。8篇RCT研究均无法对研究者和研究对象实施盲法。剩余的5篇类实验研究中,有3篇未设置对照组,有1篇基线资料不可比,这为本研究结果的科学性和可推广性上带来挑战。因此,未来仍需高质量的RCT研究来验证。
3.3 重返工作干预应更因时制宜、因人制宜和因地制宜
首先,干预内容的及时性和针对性是干预效果的重要保障。时机理论认为,患者在疾病不同阶段下的照护和支持需求是动态变化的,因此国内学者也将其译为“适时干预模式”[25]。对于癌症生存者而言,重返工作的需求往往是建立在基本功能康复,具备一定重返工作条件以后的更高层次的需求。以往研究[26]表明,癌症生存者在治疗完成后6个月左右开始重返工作。因此,若过早为生存者介入重返工作的干预,可能并不能达到预期的干预效果。而本研究结果显示,纳入的11项干预方案中有6项并未报告研究对象纳入研究时所处的诊疗阶段。因此,重返工作方案实施过程中应充分了解生存者所处的疾病阶段及其自身重返工作的需求和意愿,为其提供更具针对性的干预和支持。
其次,要保证干预内容的针对性,还要关注生存者的个体特征,做到因人制宜。研究[27]表明,癌症生存者的性别、年龄、教育水平、癌症种类、心理特质、诊断时的工种等都会对重返工作产生不同需求,因此对干预方案的采纳和依从性也会有所差异。乳腺癌是生存率最高的癌症之一,本研究纳入的文献中女性乳腺癌患者居多,可能为本研究结果的推广带来一定局限性。因此未来还需要聚焦不同癌症生存者,制定以生存者为中心的特异性干预方案。
最后,重返工作干预方案还需考虑国家福利政策和文化这一重要因素对生存者重返工作的影响,做到因地制宜。研究表明,良好的政策和积极的文化氛围可以在宏观上影响生存者是否重返工作岗位。以头颈癌为例,中国台湾的研究[28]指出,完善的福利制度可以减少患者的经济负担,可能使得头颈癌生存者能提前退休,而不是克服挑战重返工作岗位。发达国家如美国、丹麦、新加坡等的研究[29-31]发现,尽管有一定福利政策保障,重返工作率也可达到80%以上。2020年中国癌症新发病例占比为全球第一[5],癌症生存者群体也在日益扩大,但有关重返工作的机制探索和干预研究十分欠缺。因此,亟待探索我国本土化癌症生存者重返工作的影响机制和有效的促进方案。
3.4 重返工作干预应纳入利益相关群体并提高干预的延续性
本研究尚存在一定的局限性。① 存在一些较新的重返工作干预研究以方案(protocol)和预试验(pilot study)形式发表,但这些均未纳入此次系统评价中,可能会带来一定的结果偏倚。② 由于研究方案本身和结局指标的差异性,本研究未采用meta分析来探讨干预方案的有效性。③ 纳入分析的文献均来自于欧洲国家,可能存在地域差异和种族差异,对研究结果的代表性和可推广性带来一定挑战。
综上所述,本研究结果显示,重返工作干预方案的内容、形式、强度、频次等差异较大,且干预效果并不明确。但受干预方案异质性的限制,上述结论尚待更多高质量RCT予以验证。后续应更加关注中青年癌症生存者重返工作领域的研究,因时制宜、因人制宜、因地制宜地制定更有效的干预方案,帮助更多具备重返工作条件的中青年癌症生存者回归社会、实现个人价值、减轻家庭负担,甚至创造社会价值。
