What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Impact of coaching sessions on the return to work rate (number of patients returning at work / total number of patients per arm) 6 months after inclusion in the study

    The rate of patients returning to work (part-time or full-time) for more than 2 weeks to 6 months of inclusion in the study in each group.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Quality of the return to work

    Evaluation of the quality of the return to work at 6 and 12 months after inclusion by questionnaire VOW / QFT (in case of return to work only).

    Evaluation scale : 1=never to 4=ever

    Measured: 6 and 12 months

  2. Sustainability of the return to work

    Evaluation of the durability of the return to work at 6 and 12 months after inclusion by registration by the patients of the number of days off work and / or working time arrangement

    Measured: 6 and 12 months

  3. Impact of the return to work / work stoppage on the quality of life

    Evaluation of the impact of return to work / work stoppage on the quality of life estimated by QLQ-C30 questionnaire at baseline and at 6 and 12 months post-inclusion

    Measured: 6 and 12 months

  4. The production losses related to presenteeism during maintenance or return to work

    Evaluation of production losses related to presenteeism at the time of maintenance or return to work at 6 and 12 months post inclusion, by collecting the number of days worked during the study period (12 months)

    Measured: 6 and 12 months

  5. The production losses related to presenteeism during maintenance or return to work

    Evaluation of the loss of productivity during a professional activity : in case of return to work, the "Work limitation questionnaire" will be completed at 6 and 12 months after inclusion

    Measured: 6 and 12 months

  6. The determinants of return to work (factors associated with a return to work "successful": early, sustainable and quality)

    Determining the determinants of return to work at 6 and 12 months post inclusion using the QLQ-BR23questionnaire.

    Evaluation scale : 0=not at all to 4=a lot

    Measured: 12 months

  7. The determinants of return to work (factors associated with a return to work "successful": early, sustainable and quality)

    Determining the determinants of return to work at 6 and 12 months post inclusion using the QLQ-FA12 questionnaire.

    Evaluation scale : 0=not at all to 4=a lot

    Measured: 6 and 12 months

  8. The determinants of return to work (factors associated with a return to work "successful": early, sustainable and quality)

    Determining the determinants of return to work at 6 and 12 months post inclusion using the HADS questionnaire.

    Anxiety scale : 3=most of the time to 0=never Depression scale : 3=never to 0= most of the time

    Measured: 6 and 12 months

  9. The determinants of return to work (factors associated with a return to work "successful": early, sustainable and quality)

    Determining the determinants of return to work at 6 and 12 months post inclusion using the SSQ6 questionnaire.

    Evaluation scale : 1=really dissatisfied to 6 =really satisfied

    Measured: 6 and 12 months

  10. The determinants of return to work (factors associated with a return to work "successful": early, sustainable and quality)

    Determining the determinants of return to work at 6 and 12 months post inclusion using the Brief Cope questionnaire.

    Evaluation scale : 0=not at all to 4=absolutely

    Measured: 6 and 12 months

  11. The determinants of return to work (factors associated with a return to work "successful": early, sustainable and quality)

    These determinants will also be evaluated through the collection of socio-demographic data, cancer characteristics and treatments administered.

    Measured: 6 and 12 months

  12. The medico-economic impact of returning to work

    Evaluation of the medico-economic impact of return to work by comparing the costs of care in the two groups

    Measured: 12 months
