Objective: With the increasing incidence and earlier onset of cancer, more and more cancer patients are facing the problems of return-to-work. This review is to explore the types, contents, and results of return-to-work interventions for cancer patients. Methods: This scoping review followed Arksey and O’Malley’s framework and PRISMA-ScR List. Three Chinese databases and five English databases were searched from the establishment of databases to 31 March, 2021. Article selection and data extraction were conducted by two researchers. Results: Thirty-two studies and 1916 cancer patients with mainly breast and gastrointestinal cancer were included. According to the contents, interventions could be divided into four types: (1) physical interventions ( n = 6), including high-intensity exercise, low-to-moderate intensity exercise, yoga, and upper limb functional training, (2) psychological interventions ( n = 2), including early active individualized psychosocial support and mindfulness-based recovery, (3) vocational interventions ( n = 14), including making work plans, educational leaflets, vocational consultations, electronic health intervention, and interventions targeting at employers, (4) multidisciplinary interventions ( n = 10), including any combination of above interventions. Physical exercises, making working plans, vocational consultations, educational leaflets, two combinations of vocational and physical interventions were validated to have positive results in enhancing cancer patients’ return-to-work. Conclusions: Return-to-work interventions for cancer patients are diversified and can be divided into physical, psychological, vocational, and multidisciplinary interventions. Medical staffs can utilize physical exercises, making working plans, vocational consultation, educational leaflets, combinations of vocational and physical interventions to enhance cancer patients’ return-to-work. Other interventions still need to be developed and validated.

Preliminary Phase

BACKGROUND: The Felicity App is a mobile application undergoing development with the aim to integrate practical psychological interventions with recreational elements to reinforce positive and productive behaviours. Prior to construction, psychological interventions must be reviewed for relevance, effectiveness and ability to be integrated within Felicity. Psychological concepts are reviewed as the preliminary phase prior to further investigation in subfields. METHODS: Electronic databases were searched including (and not limited to) PsychInfo, PubMed, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect from November 29, 2020 to December 5, 2020. Further filtering methods were applied accordingly, and grey literature was excluded. Common and effective psychological interventions related to productivity were screened and extracted, with an emphasis on the reinforcement and discouragement of productivity-related behaviours. RESULTS: Productivity-related psychological interventions were addressed according to three categories: 1) Motivation 2) Procrastination 3) Time management. Within motivation, self-affirmation is an effective method, particularly when accompanied with other positive thinking techniques. Intrinsic motivation could be enhanced with goals aligned in specific criterias. Additionally, virtual rewards, engagement, and familiarity serve as vital components to enhance motivation. Procrastination is associated with lower engagement in work and interventions include various therapy measures. Within time management, clear purpose has been shown as an effective tool for goal setting while strategies include spaced learning and other study techniques. CONCLUSION: This scoping review determined several points of connection between motivation, procrastination, and time management with many effective interventions which could be potentially integrated within the Felicity App for personal development and habit-building. Additional research should be conducted to further determine the effectiveness of interventions for integration into Felicity.
