description OBJECTIVE: To explore the return-to-work adaptation experience and coping resources used by cancer patients. METHODS: With the help of the Nantong Cancer Friends Association, from June 2019 to January 2020, this study recruited 30 cancer patients who had returned to work using purpose sampling, snowball sampling and theoretical sampling. The researchers analyzed the data using initial-, focusing-, and theoretical coding. RESULTS: The adaptation of cancer patients to return-to-work is a rebuilding process by taking advantage of the available personal and external coping resources. The adaptation experience includes: focusing on rehabilitation, rebuilding self-efficacy, and adjusting plans. CONCLUSION: Medical staff should help patients mobilize coping resources to adapt to return to work.
