“…Regarding the physiological indicators of health or illness, our results show that higher psychological job demand is linked to more risk for sickness absence [ 73 ], less job satisfaction [ 65 , 74 ] (mainly, with a full RTW [ 83 ]), and a deterioration in the quality of the work experience [ 66 ]. Nevertheless, work modifications during the return-to-work process reduce physiological symptoms and increase job satisfaction, especially in the case of women [ 72 ].…”

“…The most used are the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD) [ 28 , 69 ] and the Brief Job Stress Questionnaire [ 65 , 73 ]. It should also be mentioned that Abegglen et al [ 62 ] and Gragnano et al [ 83 ] presented two recently developed scales: The Work and Health Questionnaire and the Work–Health Balance Questionnaire (WHBq). The former identifies workers at risk of a complicated recovery process.…”

Background: Employees’ well-being at work after the return to work (RTW) is considered a key aspect of rehabilitation and maintenance of workability. This systematic review aimed at identifying the common psychosocial factors that predict the subjective and psychological well-being in RTW processes after having a long-standing health problem or disability. Objective: To evaluate the subjective and psychological well-being at work of employees with chronic or long-standing health problems or those returning to work after any cause of disability. Data source: Systematic review of articles published in English or Spanish using PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, MEDLINE, Psychology, and Behavioral Sciences Collection, and Pubpsych. An additional study was identified by contacting expert academics in the field. The search equations used included terms such as Return to Work, Long-Standing Health Problems or Disability, Work Health Balance, and job satisfaction or subjective well-being. Eligibility criteria for the studies: Studies that included a measure of employees’ well-being at work following return to work were selected for the review. Evaluation of the studies and synthesis methods: The studies were selected using predefined fields which included quality criteria. Results: Of the 264 articles returned by the initial search, a total of 20 were finally selected. Results were organized around the three different theoretical approaches for understanding RTW and its antecedents and consequences: (a) RTW and autonomy at work have a positive effect on psychological well-being; (b) job demand is linked to less job satisfaction, whereas a higher level on the work–health balance is associated with job satisfaction and work engagement; (c) internal and external support is linked to job satisfaction in the case of a disease. Limitations: The evidence provided by the results is restricted by the limited availability of studies focusing on well-being at work following return to work. Moreover, the studies identified are of different kinds, thereby preventing comparisons. Conclusions and implications of the main findings: Employees’ subjective well-being after return to work has received very little attention to date. Given its importance in the current configuration of the labor market, it should be the object of more research.

“…As 14% of our population did not return to work following an AMI, these factors may provide worthwhile targets for future interventions to improving AMI patients’ resumption to work and may promote effective communication between physicians and patients. For example, more support may be required for patients in manual or semi-skilled labor roles (which may require intense physical activity) 26, 27 and/or these patients may not have the education or training to seek alterative work in clerical or professional roles. 28 In addition, cardiac rehabilitation or home healthcare which seeks to improve the quality of life of patients, including providing more social supports, may be worthwhile targets for intervention as 63% of those not retuning to work following AMI reported that they were no longer able to work, perhaps due to deteriorating health.…”

Background Return to work following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is an important outcome and is particularly relevant to young patients. Women may be at a greater risk for not returning to work given evidence of their worse recovery after AMI than similarly aged men. However, sex differences in return to work after AMI has not been studied extensively in a young population (≤55 years). Methods and Results We analyzed data from 1680 AMI patients aged 18–55 years (57% women) participating in the VIRGO study (Variation in Recovery: Role of Gender on Outcomes of Young AMI patients) who were working full time (≥35 hours) prior to the event. Data were obtained by medical record abstraction and patient interviews. We conducted multivariable regression analyses to examine sex differences in return to work at 12 months after AMI, and the association of patient characteristics with return to work. Compared to young men, young women were less likely to return to work (89% vs. 85%, P=0.018); however this sex difference was not significant after adjusting for patient socio-demographic characteristics, psychosocial factors, and health measures. Being married, engaging in a professional or clerical type of work, having more favorable physical health, and having no prior coronary disease or hypertension were significantly associated with a higher likelihood of return to work at 12 months. Conclusion Among a young population, women are less likely to return to work after AMI than men. This disadvantage is explained by differences in demographic, occupational and health characteristics.

“…This was mainly due to next factors. Firstly, the inability of patients to coordinate the relationship between treatment and work (33). As the work performance of these patients generally could not reach the pre-MI state, some of them worried whether they could continue to enjoy equal workplace-related rights.…”

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=0.172, P=0.000) and exercise (B=0.165, P=0.000), better nutrition (B=0.178, P=0.000) and self-realization (B=0.165, P=0.000), stress response (B=0.172, P=0.000), more social support such as more objective support (B=0.175, P=0.000), subjective support (B=0.167, P=0.000) and better utilization of social support (B=0.189, P=0.028), positive copping strategies such as more coping (B=0.133, P=0.000) and less yield (B=−0.165, P=0.000). Conclusions: HRQoL of MI patients after returning to work is not satisfactory. Health behavior, coping strategies, social support are factors which can affect HRQoL. A comprehensive and targeted guide may be a way to improve HRQoL and to assist patients' successful return to society.
