“…It is known that people with limitations do work (5,6,16). It is also known that individuals determined to be disabled under the rules of the SSA for receipt of benefits under Social Security Disability Insurance fear loss of those benefits if they work; this disincentive keeps individuals on the disability rolls (13).…”

“…It has been reported that the probability of people with limitations returning to work once determined "disabled" by the SSA depends on such variables as age, educational attainment, and prior work productivity (5,6). Also to a lesser extent, gender and marital status have been reported as affecting employment for people with disabilities (7,8).…”

“…The ability to maintain active employment for persons with severe physical and/or cognitive limitations varies by individual, but most in the field agree that maintenance of employment is related to better quality of life and less dependency on community financial supports (5,6), particularly, as less than 3.0% of those who are determined to be disabled and receive disability benefits under the SSA ever leave the rolls to return to work (9). It is important to explore the characteristics of what factors allow for the persistence of employment despite functional limitations.…”

The relationship between employment and disability has gained national attention, as the ability to maintain employment is inconsistent among those with limitations. This cross-sectional study of employment among individuals (N = 1691, age 21-62 years) with self-reported limitations in the 1996 Medical Expenditures Panel Survey seeks to identify predictors of employment despite physical and/or cognitive limitations. Two predictive models of employment including 10 variables are explored; 1 included insurance (χ 2 = 3856.85, p ≤ 0.00) and the other removed the insurance variable (χ 2 = 280.21, p ≤ 0.00). Individuals with limitations who are employed are more likely to have a college-level education, have better physical and mental health perceptions and have private insurance. This analysis demonstrates that people do work despite reported activity, functional or sensory limitations and that socioeconomic factors are crucial in why someone is able to attain employment.

were searched in databases Scielo, Pubmed and Lilacs, resulting in 982 articles, of which 45 were selected, after the analysis and categorization processes. Most studies were descriptive and qualitative. The most frequently associated factors to the rehabilitation process were: mental health state before the accident, coping strategies and family support, besides the severity of the burn and the total body surface area burned. The quality of the selected studies, most classified as evidence level VI, shows the scarce production of strong evidences in this knowledge area, which needs more investment, considering the important implications of the sequelae of burns in the social reintegration of these people. Factores biopsicosociales que interfieren en la rehabilitación de víctimas de quemaduras: revisión integradora de la literaturaEste estudio tuvo como objetivo identificar los factores biopsicosociales que influyen en la rehabilitación de víctimas de quemaduras, por medio de una revisión integradora de la literatura, en el período de enero de 1.987 a enero de 2.007. A partir de la búsqueda de los artículos en las bases de datos Scielo, Pubmed y Lilacs, se obtuvieron 982 artículos, de los cuales 45 fueron seleccionados. La mayor parte de los estudios era del tipo descriptivo y cualitativo. Los factores más frecuentemente asociados al proceso de rehabilitación fueron: estado de salud mental previo al accidente, estrategias de enfrentamiento y apoyo de la familia, además de la gravedad de la quemadura y de la superficie corporal quemada. La calidad de los estudios, en la mayoría clasificados con nivel de evidencia VI, llaman la atención para la escasa producción de evidencias fuertes en esta área del conocimiento, que necesita mayores inversiones, considerando las importantes implicaciones de las secuelas de la quemadura en la reintegración social de esas personas.
