“…Psychiatric comorbidity and severity of depression were also associated with slower RTW, but the considerable heterogeneity between studies suggests that the findings may not be robust. The findings related to comorbidity and disease severity correspond to evidence found in earlier systematic reviews regarding the onset of work disability among people with all types of common mental disorders (Blank et al, 2008;Lagerveld et al, 2010) and also RTW after cardiovascular diseases, cancers (Gragnano et al, 2017;van Muijen et al, 2013) and traumatic hand injuries (Shi et al, 2014). Because recovery from more severe and complex depression takes a longer time, the link between illness-related factors and RTW seems plausible.…”

Knowledge about factors influencing return to work (RTW) after depression-related absence is highly relevant, but the evidence is scattered. We performed a systematic search of PubMed and Embase databases up to February 1, 2016 to retrieve cohort studies on the association between various predictive factors and return to work among employees with depression for review and meta-analysis. We also analyzed unpublished data from the Finnish Public Sector study. Most-adjusted estimates were pooled using fixed effects meta-analysis. Eleven published studies fulfilled the eligibility criteria, representing 22 358 person-observations from five different countries. With the additional unpublished data from the 14 101 person-observations from the Finnish Public Sector study, the total number of person-observations was 36 459. The pooled estimates were derived from 2 to 5 studies, with the number of observations ranging from 260 to 26 348. Older age (pooled relative risk [RR] 0.95; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.84-0.87), somatic comorbidity (RR = 0.80, 95% CI 0.77-0.83), psychiatric comorbidity (RR = 0.86, 95% CI 0.83-0.88) and more severe depression (RR = 0.96, 95% CI 0.94-0.98) were associated with a lower rate of return to work, and personality trait conscientiousness with higher (RR = 1.06, 95% CI 1.02-1.10) return to work. While older age and clinical factors predicted slower return, significant heterogeneity was observed between the studies. There is a dearth of observational studies on the predictors of RTW after depression. Future research should pay attention to quality aspects and particularly focus on the role of workplace and labor market factors as well as individual and clinical characteristics on RTW.

“…[9,10] Moreover, HI may affect the ability to participate in various life roles such as husband or wife, caregiver and financial provider. [11] Furthermore, since a large share of HI are work-related, particularly among young males, [12] it is important to optimize recover in this group due to their long working life expectancy that requires a wide range of hand function.…”

The results support the reliability and validity of this Hebrew translation of the 12-item WHODAS 2.0. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Measurement tools that assess activities and participation after HI are an essential part of the rehabilitation process. The 12-item WHODAS 2.0 is a useful tool, since it addresses a broader range of activity and participation domains compared to the DASH and enables better implementation of the ICF model. Since the WHODAS 2.0 does not target a specific disease (as oppose to the DASH), it can be used to compare disabilities caused by different diseases or traumas. The WHODAS 2.0 measures both the function and disability in general populations as well as clinical situations; therefore, the instrument is useful for assessing both health and disability.

“…[10][11][12][13][14][15] However less is known about the other aspects of adjustment, namely the role of psychological variables. This is an important element to consider given not only the active role each patient plays in their own recovery journey, 4 but also because psychological adjustment plays a key role in how an individual copes with the social, financial, and recreational challenges typically faced by those with a hand injury.…”
