“…Screening at the population level to identify risk groups could enable early interventions to improve work productivity and reduce the burden of musculoskeletal pain. 45 When to intervene may also be important, with adolescent painrelated activity avoidance behaviors linked to later changes in work productivity 28 ; suggesting intervention early in the life course may be indicated. 29 Additionally, discussion around the ethics of screening is required; namely will individuals be penalized based on screening results?…”

Objective: The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive ability of the Örebro Musculoskeletal Pain Screening Questionnaire (ÖMPSQ) in regard to work productivity (absenteeism and presenteeism) in early adulthood. Methods: A prospective study was performed using data from the Raine Study Generation 2 (Gen2) 22-year follow-up. The ÖMPSQ was completed at baseline, and absenteeism and presenteeism assessed at four intervals over the following 12 months. Results: In early adulthood, the full and short versions of the ÖMPSQ showed some predictive ability for work absenteeism but the Receiver Operator Characteristic demonstrated poor discrimination. There was no evidence of predictive ability for presenteeism. Conclusion: Further work is required to increase the fidelity of screening for risk of reduced work productivity at the population level.

“…Franche and Krause (2002) developed a conceptual model of return to work in musculoskeletal pain. A number of psychosocial instruments empirically validated to identify individuals at high risk of disability were developed, including Gatchel and colleagues', Linton's, and Schultz and colleagues' questionnaires (Anagnostis et al 2004;Linton 2005;Schultz et al 2005, respectively). Psychosocial predictors of recovery and coping in chronic pain have been widely researched.…”

Psychologists need continuing education in areas pertinent to their practice. The area of psychological injury and law presents issues and conundrums that need careful ongoing evaluation for appropriate clinical practice, adherence to ethical standards, and functioning in the legal context. In this article, we prepared a series of vignettes that illustrate these difficulties in the practice, clinical, legal, and ethical spheres related to the area of psychological injury and law. The vignettes, together with accompanying commentaries, are meant for use in workshops, and they aim to educate, stimulate, and provoke. Furthermore, the article has been written with the aim of interaction with readers, in that we seek commentaries from readers both for purposes of publication and use in workshops.

“…Whether through screenings or some other method, early reporting of symptoms has been shown to reduce injury severity as well as increase the efficacy of intervention efforts [38]. In industries identified as high risk, work-related screening tools and appropriate early interventions could be of particular use in reducing both the incidence severity and costs of WMSD claims [21]. These interventions could include (1) engineering controls involving the modification of the physical work environment, (2) psychosocial measures involving job control, work demands, and stress, or (3) psychological interventions involving individual behavioral analysis or cognitive-behavioral group therapy [21].…”

BACKGROUND: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) remain a major occupational health problem, despite decades of research, outreach, and intervention. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to promote early identification and prevention of WMSDs by developing education and outreach materials grounded in interview data collected from workers that have recently filed for workers compensation (WC) for WMSDs. PROCEDURES: We conducted semi-structured telephone interviews with WC claimants (n = 66) from high risk industries identified through the use of a Prevention Index (PI) in Washington state with WMSDs of the back, shoulder, hand/wrist, or knee. RESULTS: Perceptions regarding the degree of exposure to WMSD risk factors, the social construction of pain, and the potential to implement injury-prevention measures varied widely. Many workers dismissed their injuries as the result of "fluke" or "freak" occurrences and framed their exposure to risk factors for WMSDs as either inevitable or "just part of the job." CONCLUSIONS: Workers in high-risk industries for WMSDs described their work conditions in ways that suggested: (1) a lack of awareness of the potential for developing a WMSD, (2) a view of work-related pain as normal, and/or (3) a pattern of self-blame for WMSD onset. A paradigm that either asserts the inevitability of WMSDs or dismisses potential control measures presents both a significant barrier to injury prevention efforts as well as a major opportunity for future occupational health research.
