Experiences of work continuity among cancer survivors who are self-employed farmers

Takagai Junko, Matsuda Yoshimi

Journal of Rural Medicine ( 一般社団法人 日本農村医学会 )  20 ( 2 ) 112 - 118   2025

<p><b>Objective:</b> There exist many reports regarding employed cancer survivors continuing to work; however, studies regarding self-employed cancer survivors—especially farmers—are scarce. This study aims to determine how cancer survivors in agriculture cope with professional requirements and the concomitant challenges.</p><p><b>Methods:</b> We conducted a descriptive qualitative study with eight cancer survivors, who were self-employed farmers, using semi-structured interviews. We followed Braun and Clarke’s method for thematic analysis.</p><p><b>Results:</b> Three themes emerged related to work continuity for cancer survivors in farming. Underlying the continuity of work for cancer survivors in farming was the idea of farming as a career. The support of family and friends enabled them to continue farming, even during periods of diminished physical ability. Their way of working was self-determined.</p><p><b>Conclusion:</b> Cancer survivors in farming found the cooperation of family members and friends important for continuing farming and identified the need for supportive policies and interventions tailored to their needs. Such policies and support would help cancer survivors in farming continue their work and improve their quality of life.</p>
