HS&DR programmeThe Health Services and Delivery Research (HS&DR) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was established to fund a broad range of research. It combines the strengths and contributions of two previous NIHR research programmes: the Health Services Research (HSR) programme and the Service Delivery and Organisation (SDO) programme, which were merged in January 2012.The HS&DR programme aims to produce rigorous and relevant evidence on the quality, access and organisation of health services including costs and outcomes, as well as research on implementation. The programme will enhance the strategic focus on research that matters to the NHS and is keen to support ambitious evaluative research to improve health services.For more information about the HS&DR programme please visit the website: www.netscc.ac.uk/hsdr/ This reportThe research reported in this issue of the journal was funded by the HS&DR programme or one of its proceeding programmes as project number 09/2001/09.

“…We felt that it is necessary to contact the authors for additional information for 12 studies to allow us to decide on inclusion. Ultimately, seven studies met the inclusion criteria and were critically appraised by a risk of bias assessment [29,31,32,37,[48][49][50].…”

“…Several terms are used for working with pain, such as staying at work (SAW) [26,27], remaining or continuing a work role [28], working despite pain [29][30][31], continuing work with pain [32,33], remaining in employment [34], work maintenance [35], staying on the job [36], retaining work [26] and keeping on working [37]. For the purpose of this review, SAW was defined as sustained work participation despite CMP for at least 1 year, without present sick leave due to CMP.…”

Purpose: To identify determinants for staying at work (SAW) in workers with chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP). Method:A systematic review of factors that promote SAW in workers with CMP. We searched the databases of PubMed, EMBASE, PsycInfo, CINAHL and the Cochrane Library. We included studies reporting on working subjects without present CMP-related sick leave. A quality assessment of GRADE criteria and evidence synthesis was performed. Results: We identified five crosssectional studies and two qualitative studies reporting on factors associated with SAW in workers with CMP. Consistent association with SAW was found for low perceived physical disability and low emotional distress (low-level evidence). Duration of pain, catastrophizing, self-esteem and marital status were not associated with SAW (low-level evidence). Qualitative studies indicated that personal adjustments and workplace interventions are important determinants for SAW (evidence not graded). Conclusions: No high-level evidence for SAW determinants for workers with CMP was identified. Future interventions aimed at promoting SAW could consider reducing perceived physical disability and emotional distress, and promoting adjustment latitude at work, support from supervisors, and the workers' motivation and self-management skills. Further research is required because knowledge of SAW in workers with CMP is scarce, and the relevance of the subject is high.
