“…However, RTW after a long-term sick leave may be stressful and emotionally demanding because it can be associated with patients' reduced physical capacities or changes in their work employment, such as reduction in working hours or in job tasks, decrease in self-reported responsibility and involvement [7][8][9]. Several studies have investigated the health-related qua lity of life (HRQL) after cardiac interventions [10][11][12][13]. Most of these studies have found that predictors of HRQL after a heart surgery or coronary angioplasty were primarily psychological and not related to the illness severity [13][14][15][16].…”

“…Several studies have investigated the health-related qua lity of life (HRQL) after cardiac interventions [10][11][12][13]. Most of these studies have found that predictors of HRQL after a heart surgery or coronary angioplasty were primarily psychological and not related to the illness severity [13][14][15][16]. Instead, research on professional life and work reintegration after cardiac interventions have focused mainly on the identification of factors predicting RTW (i.e., working/not working) or time for RTW [3,4,[17][18][19], while very few studies have investigated the quality of work resumption, in terms of a patient's job satisfaction and re-adaptation to work [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

Objectives: Research into work reintegration following invasive cardiac procedures is limited. The aim of this prospective study was to explore predictors of job satisfaction among cardiac patients who have returned to work after cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Material and Methods: The study population consisted of 90 cardiac patients who have recently been treated with coronary angioplasty or heart surgery. They were evaluated during their CR and 12 months after the discharge using validated self-report questionnaires measuring job satisfaction, work stress-related factors, emotional distress and illness perception. Information on socio-demographic, medical and occupational factors has also been collected. Results: After adjusting for demographic, occupational and medical variables, baseline job satisfaction (p < 0.001), depression (p < 0.01) and ambition (p < 0.05) turned out to be independent, significant predictors of job satisfaction following return to work (RTW). Patients who had a partial RTW were more satisfied with their job than those who had a full RTW, controlling for baseline job satisfaction. Conclusions: These findings recommend an early assessment of patients' psychosocial work environment and emotional distress, with particular emphasis on job satisfaction and depressive symptoms, in order to promote satisfying and healthy RTW after cardiac interventions.

“…Illness perceptions encompass the patient's own understanding and beliefs about their illness, its effects, causes and progression. Illness perceptions have been found to predict recovery from a range of conditions, such as myocardial infarction 11,12 or surgery 13,14 and also seem to influence how patients cope with chronic conditions, such as diabetes 15,16 , chronic lung disease 17 or arthritis [18][19][20] .…”

This cohort study investigated the influence of psychological factors, including perception of illness, anxiety and depression on recovery and functional outcome after total knee replacement surgery.A total of 100 patients (55 male; 45 female) with a mean age of 71 (42 to 92) who underwent a primary total knee replacement for osteoarthritis were recruited into this study. In all 97 participants completed the six week and 87 the one year follow-up questionnaires. Pre-operatively patients completed the revised Illness PerceptionQuestionnaire (IPQ-r), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Recovery Locus of Control Scale (RLOC). Function was assessed preoperatively, at six weeks and one year using Oxford Knee Score (OKS) and range of motion (ROM).The results showed that pre-operative function had the biggest impact on post-operative outcome for ROM and OKS. In addition questionnaire variables and depression had an impact on OKS at 6 weeks. Depression and anxiety were also associated with higher (worse) knee score at one year but did not influence the ROM at either six weeks or one year.Recovery from total knee replacement can be difficult to predict. This study has identified psychological factors that play an important role in recovery from surgery and functional outcome. These factors should be taken into account when considering patients for total knee replacement.

“…These beliefs are thought to determine behavioural and emotional self-regulation following a health threat [14,15]. Possessing beliefs that involve expectations of severe consequences and long duration of illness have been found to be related to lower quality of life [16][17][18], disability [19], later return to work [16,17], poor attendance at cardiac rehabilitation [20], and poorer performance on a 6-minute walking task one-year after cardiac valve replacement [21].…”
