NIDILRR ARRT: Personal Factor Correlates of Satisfaction with Labor Market Participation Among Cancer Survivors 1138

Thursday, October 31, 2024
3:10 PM – 3:20 PM  
Location:  ROOM: Wedgwood Ballroom REGION: Tower Lobby Level >>> DIRECTIONS: From EXPO Registration desk, face the elephants. Turn right at the elephants and proceed past the Gossip Bar. Turn left and proceed through the Wedgwood Foyer. The Wedgwood Ballroom is on the left.
The purpose of this presentation is to explore the personal factors that correlate with satisfaction with labor market participation (SLMP) among cancer survivors who are considered to have a disability under the ADA Amendments Act of 2008. Together, the continued barriers to employment and mixed findings regarding job satisfaction among cancer survivors suggest the need to understand the personal factors at play. Results from this exploratory study provide insight into possible correlates of SLMP. Particularly, supporting unemployed cancer survivors through vocational rehabilitation and a focus on self-employment among those with secondary education shows promise in promoting SLMP of cancer survivors. However, more robust research should be conducted to determine the nature of the relationships between these predictors and SLMP and to investigate the impact of clinical, social, and environmental factors on SLMP of cancer survivors. Attendees will explore the implications from this research and future directions in this session.

Learning Objectives:

  • Upon completion, participants will be able to explain the various personal factors that are found to correlate with satisfaction with labor market participation among cancer survivors.
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to articulate implications for practice based on the findings from this research.
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to identify areas of future research exploration based on the integration of past research and the findings from this project.
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to explain the various personal factors that are found to correlate with satisfaction with labor market participation among cancer survivors.
