Patient engagé : faire de mon expérience une réelle opportunité
Engaged Patient: Making My Experience a Real Opportunity
Abstract
The professional support of working-aged cancer patients is of major public health importance. Whether they return to work or not, the priority remains to preserve their quality of life. Moreover, for some patients, a professional break can be taken in favor of commitment for associations, care, and/or scientific research services. This is a real return to activity which can be synonymous with a professional springboard for these patients as well. This is because they can build a new professional trajectory by combining their initial professional skills and their acquired experiential knowledge. This is the light we wish to shed in this article, using a case study. In addition, new research questions will be proposed.
Résumé
L’accompagnement professionnel des patients en âge de travailler est d’une importance de santé publique majeure en cancérologie. Toutefois, qu’ils reprennent le travail ou non, la priorité reste de préserver leur qualité de vie. D’ailleurs, pour certains patients, un arrêt de la carrière professionnelle peut avoir lieu au profit d’un engagement associatif et/ou auprès des services de soin et de recherche scientifique. Il s’agit d’un vrai retour à l’activité qui peut être également synonyme de tremplin professionnel lorsque les patients concernés sont en mesure de se construire une nouvelle trajectoire professionnelle en cumulant leurs compétences professionnelles initiales et leurs savoirs expérientiels acquis ; tel est l’éclairage que nous souhaitons apporter dans cet article, à l’aide d’une étude de cas. De nouvelles questions de recherche seront proposées.
