“…St-Arnaud et al [40] add that employers tend to focus their attention and interventions on the employee presenting a mental disorder rather than focusing on the work environment itself, because the short term costs are higher if the employers interrupt work tasks to undertake an analysis of workplace psychosocial factors. However, the literature and the results of this study support that, to be efficient, timely interventions for employees must take place in a work environment that values employees' health and well-being, and provides them with the organizational resources they need to do their jobs [36]. In short, to make efficient interventions for the return-to-work of employees absent from work due to depression, timely and individualized actions on behalf of the employee must take place in a suitable environment characterized by working conditions which translate an organizational concern for employees' mental health and for the human aspect of work.…”

“…and the two research assistants who took part in the focus group). The codes were developed according to the scientific literature, namely empirical findings and theories related to psychosocial factors used in the work, rehabilitation and mental health disciplines [14,36,37]. Thereafter, the three raters independently coded and categorized the verbatim transcripts of the two other focus groups, using the agreed upon book of codes.…”

“…Similar conflicting evidence has also been found in other systematic reviews for RTW for other diagnoses including acute low back pain (79) and mental health. (209) Older age was found to be prognostic for a poorer outcome in one study. This is consistent with a systematic review on factors for RTW following low back pain which found strong evidence from six studies for age, especially for workers older than 51 years, (79) and also in a review of mental health disorders.…”

“…(180) Supervisor support and the role of co-workers in influencing early RTW is an emerging field of research that has been found to be important in other reviews. (180,209) Poor coworker relations (support) was found to be prognostic for a poorer worker-related outcome in one study. (207) Conflicting evidence exists from the results of other systematic reviews on low back pain,(79) for both co-worker support and supervisory support.…”

“…These may also include studies focusing on work role functioning or work ability. In line with future recommendations for other diagnostic conditions such as back pain (180) and mental health (209) there is an overall lack of studies that clearly examine time to first RTW in relation to capacity (modified/light or full) and sustained RTW beyond the first sickness absence.…”

Factors influencing return-to-work following upper extremity surgery

The upper extremities are necessary to independently perform everyday activities, engage with the environment and others and, importantly, work. Unfortunately, upper extremity (UE) conditions, resulting in pain and impairments, are common. Although returning to work is usually straightforward, for some it can be difficult and prolonged, impacting significantly on the worker, key stakeholders and society.This thesis utilized mixed methodology to explore factors influencing RTW following surgery for traumatic and non-traumatic UE conditions. Specifically, the overall aims were to: 1) identify gaps in the literature; 2) generate a list of factors influencing RTW; 3) explore stakeholders perspectives of barriers and the strategies to facilitate RTW; 4) determine the assessment tools used by health care providers (HCPs) to evaluate RTW barriers; 5) clarify a definition for delayed RTW; and 6) explore injured workers' lived experiences to understand the context surrounding the factors and processes that may influence RTW.A scoping review identified gaps in the literature (Aim 1), generating the remaining thesis aims. A systematic review of prognostic studies for RTW following a common UE surgery, carpal tunnel release, was then conducted (Aim 2). This review revealed an inconsistent and low level of evidence for any studied prognostic factor for RTW or work disability.A three-round Delphi study determined expert opinion on the barriers and facilitators for RTW following surgery for non-traumatic UE conditions (Aim 2). Thirty-one experts completed all rounds. Strong consensus was achieved for these barriers: mood disorder; symptoms at more than one site; heavy UE work exertions; lack of flexible RTW arrangements; lack of supervisor support; and high pain catastrophising. Strong consensus was achieved for these facilitators: high motivation to RTW; high RTW and recovery selfefficacy; availability of modified duties; flexible RTW arrangements; positive coping skills; limited heavy UE work exertions; no catastrophic thinking; no fear avoidance to RTW, pain or activity; return to meaningful work duties; supportive RTW policies; supportive supervisor; and high job satisfaction.A cross-sectional study of 1011 RTW stakeholders (HCPs, employers, insurers and lawyers) was conducted. This study contained four sub-studies. In the first sub-study, a list ii of factors that stakeholders perceived influence RTW was generated (Aim 2). Highest agreement was found for: RTW self-efficacy; post-operative psychological status; supportive employer or supervisor; employer's willingness to accommodate job modifications; worker's recovery expectations; mood disorder diagnosis; post-operative pain level; and whether the job can be modified. Disagreements between stakeholder groups existed for a third of the factors. Further analysis of the 787 HCPs was conducted in sub-study two (Aim 2). This revealed that HCPs rated difficulty coping with the pain as the main RTW barrier. Few differences between the disciplines existed.In sub-study th...
