Abstract：Objective:To explore the latent categories on adaptability of returning to work in breast-cancer patients,and to analyze the characteristics differences and related influencing factors of different categories of patients.Methods:A total of 318 breast-cancer patients were selected from as the research objects by convenience sampling methodology from January to May 2023,who had been re-examined or hospitalized in 3 tertiary grade A hospitals in Zhengzhou city and had been returned to work.The general information questionnaire,Cancer Patients'Adaptability of Returning to Work Scale,Chinese Version of Acceptance Illness Scale,Breast Cancer Survivors Resilience Scale and Strategies Used by People to Promote Health were used to investigate.The latent profile analysis were used to explore the potential categories of adaptability of returning to work in breast-cancer patients,and the influencing factors of different categories were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis.Results:The adaptability of returning to work in breast-cancer patients was divided into 3 potential categories,namely low adaptation level-low coping ability group(26.1%),medium adaptation level-regular group(56.6%)and high adaptation level-high self-efficacy group(17.3%).Logistic regression analysis showed that average income per person,time of returning to work,complications,acceptance illness,mental resilience and self-management efficacy were influencing factors of latent categories on adaptability of returning to work in breast-cancer patients(all P<0.05).Conclusion:The adaptability of returning to work in breast-cancer patients have apparent categories characteristics,medical staff should carry out individualized interventions according to characteristics of different categories,so as to help patients better return to work.
