“…In particular, a number of nonpharmacologic interventions have been designed and evaluated in recent years (1,(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32). Reviews suggest that many are comprehensive and target both physical and psychological difficulties working.…”

ObjectiveTo examine the availability, need, and use of workplace policies for workers with osteoarthritis (OA) and inflammatory arthritis (IA) and their association with employment outcomes.MethodsParticipants (n = 219) were employed, ages ≥25 years, and diagnosed with OA or IA. They were recruited through community advertising and rheumatology clinics in 2 Canadian provinces. Respondents completed a 35–45‐minute telephone interview assessing demographics (age, sex), health (diagnosis, pain, activity limitations), work context (job control), employment outcomes (workplace activity limitations, absenteeism, productivity losses, reduced hours), benefits (extended health, short‐term leaves), and accommodations (flexible hours, modified schedules, special equipment/adaptations, work‐at‐home arrangements). Regression analyses examined differences in benefit/accommodation need and use.ResultsMany participants reported that arthritis impacted their work. But with the exception of extended health benefits, ∼50–65% of participants reported not needing each individual benefit/accommodation, although only 7.3% of respondents reported needing no benefits or accommodations at all. Greater job control and education were associated with greater perceived need and use of benefits/accommodations. Need was also associated with greater activity limitations, and disclosure of arthritis was related to use of benefits/accommodations. Participants needing but not using workplace policies often had significantly poorer employment outcomes compared to those using benefits/accommodations.ConclusionFindings are relevant to workers with arthritis and to employers. Results suggest that individuals with arthritis are unlikely to be a drain on workplace resources. Many individuals do not use benefits/accommodations until needed, and among those using them, there were generally positive relationships with diverse employment outcomes.

“…It was aimed at clarifying practical and psychosocial problems at work and better communication with the supervisor and colleagues in order to solve workrelated problems. In a randomised controlled trial, this programme was found to have a positive effect on self-efficacy and fatigue complaints, but not on job satisfaction or job retention [12].…”

“…Franssen et al [11] found that healthy workers had a mean score on the CIS fatigue scale (range 20-140) of 53, whereas workers with a chronic disease averaged 68. Another group of workers with a chronic disease who experience serious work-related problems had a mean CIS score of 89 [12]. High fatigue levels among chronically ill workers are partly due to disease and partly due to psychological distress [11].…”

“…Employees with a chronic physical condition such as IBD may be hampered in job performance and employment because of physical or cognitive limitations, pain, fatigue or because medical treatment interferes with work [12]. Unemployment is associated with anxiety and depression among IBD patients [13].…”

aObjectives To assess employment status, difficulties at work and sick leave in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients and their relation with sociodemographic and clinical factors, quality of life (QoL), and anxiety and depression. Materials and methods IBD patients attending an IBD outpatients' clinic received self-report questionnaires on employment status, IBD-related difficulties at work and sick leave (Trimbos/iMTA questionnaire for Costs associated with Psychiatric Illness), sociodemographic factors, QoL (Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire and 12-item Short-form Health Survey) and anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale). Disease activity was assessed by their gastroenterologist. Associations between paid employment and sick leave with sociodemographic and clinical factors, QoL and anxiety and depression were assessed by regression analyses. Results In total, 202 IBD patients of working age, with a mean age of 41 years, participated; 63% had Crohn's disease and 37% had ulcerative colitis, and 57% were women and 19% had active disease. In all, 123 (61%) patients were in paid employment, of whom 31 (25%) were on sick leave, whereas 46 (23%) received a disability pension. Concentration problems (72%), low working pace (78%) and delayed work production (50%) were the most prevalent IBD-related work difficulties. IBD patients without paid employment were older and more often women, with active disease, lower QoL and higher anxiety and depression rates. Sick leave was associated with lower QoL and higher anxiety and depression rates. Conclusion More than half of IBD patients were in paid employment, whereas almost a quarter was receiving a disability pension. A large majority experienced work difficulties. Having no paid employment was associated with poorer QoL and more anxiety and depression symptomatology. Eur
