Overview

Sex and income associate with employment among cancer survivors; hypothesis-generating for targeted support strategies and prospective confirmation.

Key Points

  • To identify sociodemographic, clinical, and symptom-related factors associated with current employment and examine sex-based differences in occupational continuity among cancer survivors.
  • Analyzed cross-sectional data from the 2019 and 2021 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey comprising cancer survivors aged 19 to 65 years (n=289).
  • Evaluated sociodemographic, clinical, and symptom-related factors using hierarchical logistic regression and assessed occupational continuity using weighted descriptive statistics.
  • Overall employment rate was 56.6%; male sex was associated with higher employment odds (OR, 4.69; 95% CI, 2.21–9.94; p<.001), while monthly household income under 3 million KRW was associated with lower odds (OR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.19–0.88; p<.05).
  • Sleep difficulties showed a borderline negative association with employment (OR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.41–1.00; p=.051), whereas clinical factors showed no significant association.
  • Occupational continuity differed by sex, with 58.3% of male participants retaining their longest-held occupation compared to only 30.9% of female participants.
