초록

Purpose : This study aimed to develop a program that promotes posttraumatic growth (PTG) in young breast cancer survivors returning to work and measure its feasibility. Methods : This study was conducted at a university-based cancer center in Seoul, Republic of Korea. After a literature review, in-depth interviews, and network analysis of the online community, a 4-weekgroup-based education program was developed. The program consisted of post-cancer life, exercise, nutritional, psychological, and esthetic management. The primary outcome was PTG, and secondaryoutcomes were rumination, distress, and thinking about returning to work. Results : Fifteen young breast cancer survivors working at the time of cancer diagnosis participated in the program. The mean age of the participants was 41.80 ± 5.03 years and the time since diagnosis was14.07 ± 15.90 months. There were significant differences in the total PTG and PTG sub-item scores in relation to others, personal strengths, and anxiety (p<0.05). Confidence in returning to work was alsosignificantly different (p<0.05). Conclusion : PTG promotion programs will be effective in helping young breast cancer survivors to return to work. Further studies involving a larger sample and a longer follow-up period are required.
