Research - share your experiences of returning to work following a breast cancer diagnosis
Researchers at Monash University are undertaking a study to understand the perspectives and experiences of people affected by breast cancer regarding returning to paid work following a breast cancer diagnosis.
Who can participate?
You can participate in this study if you:
- have been diagnosed with breast cancer in the past five years.
- Took some time off from paid work following your diagnosis of breast cancer and have since returned to paid employment.
The study involves participating in a 45-60 minute telephone interview with a student researcher at Monash University.
During the interview, you will be asked some questions about how you made your decisions about paid work following your diagnosis of breast cancer, whether you took time off or modified your duties, what information you used when deciding when to return to work and what support, information or other factors helped most with returning to work and what were the main challenges you experienced.
Your responses will be confidential and your name will not be included in any publication.
As a thank you for participating in the interview, you will receive a $25 Coles Myer voucher.
