In total, 1208 articles were identified and screened by title and abstract. After full-text review, 29 articles were included in the final data extraction and analysis for this scoping review. <i>Data Extraction</i>: Data related to sample characteristics, study design and objectives, and psychometric properties of RTW-SE measures used were extracted from full texts. <i>Data Synthesis</i>: Descriptive statistics were used to synthesize data extracted from the articles.ResultsTen different instruments were used across the 29 articles, with the RTWSE-11 (n = 9) being the most frequently used. Articles explored the relationship between RTW-SE and various outcome variables including employment status, and expected time to RTW. Several articles also examined the extent to which RTW-SE predicted RTW, time to RTW, and work ability. Six articles tested psychosocial interventions, with half also incorporating a physical component to improve RTW-SE. None of the articles reported information about thresholds for meaningful change for RTW-SE.ConclusionsThis scoping review summarizes the current literature that describes the role of RTW-SE among cancer survivors who are in the process of returning to work. Future research is needed to determine the predictive validity and sensitivity to change of RTW-SE measures.</p>","PeriodicalId":51373,"journal":{"name":"Work-A Journal of Prevention Assessment & Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"10519815261445913"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147845972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The population of the study included manager nurses who were working at a University Hospital in Eastern Türkiye (N = 133). Data were collected using a \"Personal Information Form\", the \"Digital Leadership Scale\", and the \"General Attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence Scale\". Descriptive statistics were used in the analysis of the data, and comparisons in independent groups were made using the \"Mann-Whitney U\" test for two groups and the \"Kruskal-Wallis\" test for more than two groups. Pearson's correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. A simple linear regression analysis was performed with the Enter model to determine the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed to determine whether the scales used were suitable for the sample of manager nurses. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the scales used were appropriate for use in the sample.ResultsThe participants of the study had moderate levels of digital leadership and above-moderate levels of positive attitudes toward artificial intelligence. It was found that the digital leadership characteristics of the participants were significantly effective on their general attitudes toward artificial intelligence.ConclusionsThe usage of artificial intelligence and digital technologies by manager nurses during the provision of healthcare services will result in their adoption of a position as role models and good leaders for their nurse colleagues, improve their capacity to organize routine practices and treatment processes at the clinic, and increase the quality of nursing care by helping nurses make better decisions. It is thought that the use of some practices in the workplace with digital transformations, such as artificial intelligence, will have positive effects on employee well-being, job satisfaction, and workforce adaptation, including the reduction of workload and the prevention of loss of workforce and time.</p>","PeriodicalId":51373,"journal":{"name":"Work-A Journal of Prevention Assessment & Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"10519815261446635"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147845920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
