| Résumé : |
Background.
Stigma and workplace discrimination can hinder employment opportunities for cancer survivors.
Purpose.
This study explored perceptions of stigma and workplace discrimination for cancer survivors to understand the impact on survivors’ engagement in paid work and to identify strategies to address stigma and workplace discrimination.
Method.
Using Arksey and O’Malley’s framework, we searched Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, Scopus, and CINAHL for evidence that intersected three concepts: cancer, stigma, and employment/workplace discrimination. Of the 1,514 articles initially identified, 39 met our inclusion criteria. Findings were charted, collated, and analyzed using content analysis.
Findings.
Myths regarding cancer (i.e., it is contagious, will always result in death) persist and can create misperceptions regarding survivors’ employability and lead to self-stigmatization. Workplace discrimination may include hiring discrimination, harassment, job reassignment, job loss, and limited career advancement. Strategies to mitigate stigma and workplace discrimination include education, advocacy, and antidiscrimination policies.
Implications.
Occupational therapists can enhance awareness of workplace concerns and advocate on behalf of cancer survivors. |
