“…This is consistent with previous research, which showed that individuals' perceived control influences the outcome from vocational rehabilitation (Millet, 2005;Selander et al, 2007). Furthermore, the present study showed that responders and nonresponders to an MVRP differed significantly at baseline in terms of the sense of mastery and pain intensity variables, where the outcome in terms of WA was affected by the sense of mastery and the pain intensity at baseline.…”

“…The cognitive impairment associated with pain appears to be a major obstacle to rehabilitation (Moriarty, McGuire, & Finn, 2011). Furthermore, individual differences in perceived control are related to a variety of positive outcomes, including vocational rehabilitation, health, achievement, motivation, self-esteem, and coping (Millet, 2005;Selander, Marnetoft, & Åsell, 2007;Skinner, 1996). Generally, conceptualized perceived control or sense of mastery refers to an individual's generalized expectancies or beliefs about the extent to which they regard their life chances and things that happen to them as being under their own control in contrast to being fatalistically ruled (Pearlin & Schooler, 1978;Rotter, 1966).…”

Objective: The aim of the present study was to compare responders and nonresponders in terms of work ability (WA) to a multidisciplinary vocational rehabilitation program (MVRP) in Norway. Methods: The WA of 74 participants was tested at baseline and in the final week of a 4-6-week intervention. The participants whose WA increased were defined as WA-responders, whereas participants with no increases or with decreases in their WA after the intervention were defined as WA-nonresponders. Measures of functional health, psychological functioning, and demographics were also collected. Results: Overall, the results of this study indicate that the WA improved and the proportion of participants with poor WA decreased by 26% after the intervention. However, the main outcome of this study was that not all of the participants reported improved WA after the intervention. WA of 43% of the participants did not improve and they were defined as WA-nonresponders, whereas the WA of the other 57% participants improved and they were defined as WA-responders. At baseline, the two groups did not differ significantly in terms of their basic characteristics, whereas there were significant differences between the two groups in terms of pain intensity and sense of mastery variables. Logistic regression analysis identified pain intensity and sense of mastery as significant predictors of WA-response. Conclusion: Multidisciplinary vocational rehabilitation seems effective for some but not all participants. Unfavorable WA responses were more prevalent in participants who reported high pain intensity and low sense of mastery at baseline. It is still a challenge to understand what distinguishes responders from nonresponders to MVRPs; thus, further research is required.

“…There were 14 quantitative studies which addressed the possible positive association between feelings of control and work participation (Table 1: Boot et al 2008; Busch et al 2007; Ekberg et al 2015; Karoly et al 2013; Krause et al 2013; Murphy et al 2011; Richard et al 2011; Roesler et al 2013; Selander et al 2007; Sluiter and Frings-Dresen 2008; Torres et al 2009; Truchon et al 2010; Vlasveld et al 2013; Volker et al 2015). The results of six studies indicated that the feeling of having more control is associated with more work participation (Busch et al 2007; Roesler et al 2013; Selander et al 2007; Sluiter and Frings-Dresen 2008; Truchon et al 2010; Vlasveld et al 2013).…”

These results were supported by one qualitative study by Dionne et al (2013), in which it was reported that participants who did not RTW considered that their return depended more on factors related to their environment than on personal factors.…”

PurposeThe objective of this systematic review was to explore and provide systematically assessed information about the association between person-related factors and work participation of people with health problems. The research question was: what is the association between selected person-related factors and work participation of workers with health problems?MethodsA systematic review was carried out in PubMed and PsycINFO to search for original papers published between January 2007 and February 2017. The risk of bias of the studies included was assessed using quality assessment tools from the Joanna Briggs Institute. The quality of evidence was assessed using the GRADE framework for prognostic studies.ResultsIn total, 113 studies were included, all of which addressed the association between person-related factors and work participation. The factors positively associated with work participation were positive expectations regarding recovery or return to work, optimism, self-efficacy, motivation, feelings of control, and perceived health. The factors negatively associated with work participation were fear-avoidance beliefs, perceived work-relatedness of the health problem, and catastrophizing. Different coping strategies had a negative or a positive relationship with work participation.ConclusionsThe results of this review provide more insight into the associations between different cognitions and perceptions and work participation. The results of this study suggest that person-related factors should be considered by occupational- and insurance physicians when they diagnose, evaluate or provide treatment to employees. Further research is required to determine how these physicians could obtain and apply such information and whether its application leads to a better quality of care.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1007/s00420-018-1308-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…19,20 LOC-I is associated with greater coping abilities 21 and to the use of more active 22 and adaptive 23,24 coping strategies. In contrast, LOC-C and LOC-P are associated to greater severity of pain and to pain interference in everyday life, [25][26][27] including reduced physical activity 28 and medication abuse.…”

A Shortened Version of the Headache‐Specific Locus of Control Scale in Spanish Population

(Headache 2010;50:1335‐1345) Background and Objective.— Further questions need to be addressed in the evaluation of locus of control (LOC) in headaches, such as reducing scale length and adapting them to diverse cultural environments, as in the case of Spain. Methods.— We perform a confirmatory factor analysis of the most outstanding items contained in the Headache‐Specific Locus of Control Scale in the responses of 118 patients suffering from headaches who received assistance at public health care centers in the province of Seville (Spain). Results.— The adjustment was positive, thus confirming the original structure of 3 factors: internal locus of control (LOC‐I), health care professionals' LOC, and chance locus of control (LOC‐C). Scale validation was performed by examining associations both with headache clinical parameters and psychological measures. The latter included self‐efficacy, internal language, coping strategies, and pain behaviors. LOC‐C results deserve special mention, supporting the idea that it seems more important to avoid that patients develop LOC‐C rather than boosting LOC‐I and LOC‐P expectations. Conclusions.— The so‐called Headache‐Specific Locus of Control Scale‐Short Form 9 has turned out to be a parsimonious (9 items), valid, and reliable measure of headache LOC.
