Research - share your experiences of returning to work following a breast cancer diagnosis

Marianne_BCNA

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.

What does the study involve?

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.
