“…Work role functioning (WRF) was measured with two subscales of the Work Role The capability set for work Functioning Questionnaire 2.0 (WRFQ) (26): physical (WRF-P) and flexibility (WRF-F) demands. The WRFQ measures the perceived difficulties in meeting work demands among employees given their physical health or emotional problems.…”

“…Work functioning is determined by the joint influence of work and health and is viewed as a continuum that varies from working successfully (i.e., the ability to meet all work demands for a given state of health) to work absence (i.e., the inability to meet all work demands given a state of health) [5,6]. Work functioning, therefore, goes beyond the dichotomy of being at work versus being absent from work and provides information about a workers' actual functioning when present at work.…”

Purpose To help workers to stay at work in a healthy productive and sustainable way and for the development of interventions to improve work functioning, it is important to have insight in prognostic factors for successful work functioning. The aim of this study is to identify prognostic factors for successful work functioning in a general working population. Methods A longitudinal study (3 months follow-up) was conducted among the working population (N = 98). Work functioning was assessed with the Work Role Functioning Questionnaire 2.0 (WRFQ). The total score was categorized as follows: 0-90; [90 B95; and [95-100 (defined as 'successful work functioning'). Ordinal logistic regression analyses were performed to examine bivariate relationships between potential prognostic factors and the dependent variable (successful work functioning) to identify potential prognostic factors for the multivariate models (p \ 0.10). A stepwise approach was used to introduce the variables in the multiple ordinal regression analyses. Results Baseline work functioning and work ability were significant prognostic factors for successful work functioning at 3 months follow-up. No prospective associations were identified for psychological job demands and supervisor social support with successful work functioning. Conclusion To our knowledge this is the first longitudinal study to identify prognostic factors for successful work functioning in the general working population. High work ability is predictive for future successful work functioning, independent of baseline work functioning.

“…O retorno ao trabalho de indivíduos sobreviventes do câncer tem sido relatado como problemático, devido às alterações da capacidade física, fadiga, falta de apoio e adaptações no ambiente ocupacional, além da sobrecarga de trabalho 36 . Desde o desenvolvimento industrial, com as mudanças na concepção sobre o trabalho e sua execução, os trabalhadores passaram a vivenciar longas jornadas, ritmos acelerados, fadiga física, divisões de tarefas e redução na participação do processo produtivo, o que resultou em alterações na saúde física e mental 28 .…”

Rev enferm UERJ, Rio de Janeiro, 2015 nov/dez; 23 (6) ABSTRACT: Chronic disorders, including cancer, are a public health problem, causing worker incapacity, absenteeism, resignation and dismissal. This study examined the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Work Role Functioning Questionnaire (WRFQ-Br) in workers with neoplasms undergoing radiotherapy in up-state São Paulo. Psychometric properties were evaluated in 51 subjects with cancer diagnoses undergoing radiotherapy between 2011 and 2012, and 105 healthy workers. The results indicated good internal consistency (Cronbach alpha = 0.77-0.93). Construct validity displayed significant differences (p<0.05) between groups in output, and mental and social demands. Convergent validity analysis revealed a relation between the WRFQ-Br and the Karnofsky scale. Data showed that WRFQ-Br demonstrated reliable psychometric properties for evaluating workers with cancer diagnoses in Brazil. Keywords: Cancer; reproducibility of results; work capacity evaluation; occupational health nursing.RESUMEN: Enfermedades crónicas, incluyendo neoplasias, representan serios problemas de salud pública, puesto que causan discapacidad, absentismo y ausencias de los trabajadores. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar las propiedades psicométricas del Cuestionario de Evaluación de Desempeño en el Trabajo (WRFQ-BR) en trabajadores portadores de neoplasia, sometidos a radioterapia en el interior del Estado de São Paulo. Participaron en el estudio 51 pacientes admitidos en los años de 2011 y 2012, y 105 trabajadores saludables En la evaluación de las propiedades psicométricas, se observó el alfa de Cronbach entre 0,77 y 0,93 en la evaluación de la consistencia interna. En la evaluación de validad, hubo una diferencia significativa entre los ítems que evalúan demandas de producción, mental y social (p <0,05) utilizando la técnica de los grupos conocidos; y correlación del score total del WRFQ-Br con los índices de la Escala de Karnofsky, en el enfoque convergente. El WRFQ-Br ha mostrado buenos resultados en la evaluación de sus propiedades psicométricas y se considera fiable para utilización en trabajadores con diagnóstico de cáncer. Palabras Clave: Neoplasias; reproductibilidad de las pruebas; evaluación de capacidad de trabajo; enfermería del trabajo. Propriedades psicométricas do Questionário de Avaliação de Desempenho no Trabalho em trabalhadores submetidos à radioterapia IntroduçãoDoenças crônicas como câncer, distúrbios osteomusculares, artrite, doenças cardíacas ou neurológicas representam um importante problema de saúde pú-blica, ocasionando limitações funcionais e biopsicossociais, absenteísmo, afastamento das atividades de trabalho e reduzindo os índices de qualidade de vida [1][2][3][4][5] . Atualmente, cerca de 12% das mortes registradas no mundo são relacionadas ao câncer, representando cerca de sete milhões de pessoas. São notificados onze milhões de casos novos de neoplasias malignas por ano, com previsão de elevação para 27 milhões até 2030, com 17 milhões d...
