“…Twelve originated from Europe, three from Asia and one study from North America; two studies were carried out multi‐nationally, one in the United States and Japan, and the other in the United States, Spain and Australia. Only one study used qualitative design (Şahan et al, 2016). The sample size varied from 12 (Şahan et al, 2016) to 22,394 (Smedegaard et al, 2017) participants.…”

“…From patients' perspectives, inability to RTW or extended sickness absence post‐MI can produce an economic burden for themselves and their families. People of working age who live with chronic disease may not be considered employable (Şahan et al, 2016). Their income may be drastically reduced, and they may face financial difficulties (Şahan et al, 2016).…”

“…People of working age who live with chronic disease may not be considered employable (Şahan et al, 2016). Their income may be drastically reduced, and they may face financial difficulties (Şahan et al, 2016). Conversely, having a job may provide an income that covers patients' living expenses and healthcare costs (where applicable) (Waszkowska & Szymczak, 2009).…”

Objectives To identify and critically synthesise literature on return to work of patients following a myocardial infarction and to identify factors that are associated with this. Background Understanding when patients return to work after myocardial infarction and what factors are associated with this may be helpful in designing person‐centred treatment plans to facilitate patients' rehabilitation and return to work. Design A narrative systematic review. Review methods Six databases, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Academic Search Complete, EMBASE, SCOPUS and ProQuest Health and Medicine, and the search engine Google were searched to retrieve peer‐reviewed articles published in English from January 2008–January 2020. In total, 22,217 papers were sourced and screened, with 18 papers retained for quality appraisal using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tools. Results The mean time to return to work varied between 46–192 days; about half the participants resumed work by 3 months. Patients who were male, younger, educated, non‐manual workers or owned their own business, and those who evaluated their general and mental health highly, and had shorter hospitalisation, fewer comorbidities, complications and mental health issues were more likely to return to work after myocardial infarction. Relevance to clinical practice Findings may help nurses detect patients at increased risk of failure to return to work and provide appropriate support to facilitate this.

“…Another key factor related to HRQoL is coping strategies. Şahan and colleagues found that patients' coping strategies could affect health outcomes and patients with positive coping strategies had better HRQoL [42]. In another case, Kureshi et al [43] had investigated patients with coronary heart disease after returning to work and found that patients could not face the disease positively which lead to worse HRQoL.…”

Background: Return to work following myocardial infarction (MI) represents an important indicator of recovery. However, MI can cause patients to feel pressure, loneliness and inferiority during work and even detachment from employment after returning to work, which may affect their quality of life. The aims of this study were to identify the influencing factors of Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with MI after returning to work and explore the correlations between these factors and HRQoL. Method: This was a cross-sectional study. All participants were recruited from tertiary hospitals in China from October 2017 to March 2018. The general data questionnaire, Short-Form Health Survey-8 (SF-8), Health Promoting Lifestyle ProfileII (HPLPII), Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ) and Social Supporting Rating Scale (SSRS) were used to assess 326 patients with myocardial infarction returned to work after discharge. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to explore factors related to HRQoL in patients with MI after returning to work. Results: The sample consisted of 326 patients. The mean total score of quality of life was 28.03 ± 2.554. According to the multiple linear regression analysis, next factors were associated with better HRQoL: younger age (B = − 0.354, P = 0.039), higher income (B = 0.513, P = 0.000), less co-morbidity (B = − 0.440, P = 0.000), the longer time taken to return to work (B = 0.235, P = 0.003), fewer stents installed (B = − 0.359, P = 0.003), participation in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) (B = − 1.777, P = 0.000), complete CR (B = − 1.409, P = 0.000), better health behaviors such as more health responsibility (B = 0.

“…According to our study, the lay-off rate of CHD patients in one year was 24.4% and this was higher than that for participants who were not diagnosed with CHD when adjusted for possible confounders. It is known that CHD patients may experience mental problems such as depression, anxiety, and fear of death, and feel physically inadequate to work after myocardial infarction (MI) (13). In many studies, it has been found that a depressive mood, heart failure, arrhythmia, and other chronic diseases or physical deficiencies reduced the possibility of a return to work after MI (12,(15)(16)(17).…”

Objective: Due to their clinical status, coronary heart disease (CHD) patients experience difficulties during their daily activities, which includes their work life. Their quality of life, in general, is negatively affected. The aims of this study were to determine changes in employment status after diagnosis of CHD and sociodemographic, clinical and work-related factors affected. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. Participants were selected from the Manisa Public Health Directorate database; of Turkey. Inclusion criteria encompassed residence in inner Manisa Districts, employment at an income-generating job, and a diagnosis of CHD for the first time (n=41) by a doctor between 01.12.2012-01.12.2013. A cohort of without CHD (n=73) was also recruited for the study for comparison. Chi-square tests and logistic regression analyses were performed to exam the relationship between dependent and independent variables. Results: It was found that 76% of patients returned to work within a year after receiving a diagnosis of CHD. However, the lay-off rate was found to be significantly higher among employees with CHD than others (p<0.05). There was no relationship found between being laid off and having a comorbidity (p>0.05). In the evaluation of all study participants, blue-collar and private sector employees had significantly higher lay-off rates compared to white-collar and public sector employees. Conclusion: After a CHD diagnosis, 24% of CHD patients cannot return to work. People in a lower occupational class experience a higher rate of lay-off, which may make life economically worse for these individuals. Social life and working conditions should be taken into consideration when evaluating whether CHD patients should return to work.
