“…The results show personal factors and disease related factors that decrease activities and that impair and restrict the young disabled in work participation such as age, gender, education and coping style as personal and treatment, physical ability and co-morbidity as disease related factors. In our study among young disabled we did not find external factors, such as support of management and colleagues and adequate work conditions that were found in studies among adult employees [28]. However, it can be imagined that these factors are of great importance in keeping the young disabled employed.…”

Introduction The aim of this systematic review was to study factors which promote or hinder young disabled people entering the labor market. Methods We systematically searched PubMed (by means of MESH and text words), EMBASE, PsycINFO, Web of Science and CINAHL for studies regarding (1) disabled patients diagnosed before the age of 18 years and (2) factors of work participation. Results Out of 1,268 retrieved studies and 28 extended studies from references and four from experts, ten articles were included. Promoting factors are male gender, high educational level, age at survey, low depression scores, high dispositional optimism and high psychosocial functioning. Female and low educational level gives high odds of unemployment just like low IQ, inpatient treatment during follow up, epilepsy, motor impairment, wheelchair dependency, functional limitations, co-morbidity, physical disability and chronic health conditions combined with mental retardation. High dose cranial radiotherapy, type of cancer, and age of diagnosis also interfered with employment. Conclusions Of the promoting factors, education appeared to be important, and several physical obstructions were found to be hindering factors. The last mentioned factors can be influenced in contrast to for instance age and gender. However, to optimize work participation of this group of young disabled it is important to know the promoting or hindering influence for employment.

“…Reluctance to disclose health information to others and fear that colleagues may see them as unfairly favoured was mentioned by patients with inflammatory arthritis [16]. Detaille et al [13] found that according to workers with diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and hearing loss, personal skills such as good coping and self-management qualities at work are important.…”

“…This was in agreement with previous studies showing the influence of control over the pace and the activities of work (9) and work autonomy (12) on work-relevant disability. In a focus group, patients with RA stated that the opportunity to plan work activities and the freedom to spread the work out were, among others, factors that a patient with RA needs to continue working (34). Similarly, interviews with RA patients showed that important adaptations made to keep working included control over what work was done on a given day and control over work hours (35).…”

Objective. To study the occurrence of sick leave and to identify work characteristics related to sick leave in patients with early inflammatory joint conditions. Methods. Patients with inflammatory joint conditions present for <12 months were included in this cross-sectional study. Approximately 85% of patients satisfying the criteria participated. Data collection included demographics, clinical characteristics, pain, physical functioning and mental health (Short Form 36), fatigue, and behavioral coping (Coping of Rheumatic Stressors questionnaire). Work characteristics included physical load, psychosocial load, job control, and support at work. Outcome was defined as sick leave for >2 weeks during the past 6 months. Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted. Results. Sick leave was reported by 54 (26%) of 210 employed patients, with 75% of the sick leave periods attributed to joint conditions. Of these 210 patients, 23% were classified as having rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 35% as having non-RA arthritis, and 42% as having inflammatory joint conditions without synovitis. Pain, poor physical functioning, and passive behavioral coping were related to increased sick leave, whereas diagnostic group was not. Low job control, i.e., low control over planning and pacing of activities within the job, was associated with increased sick leave (odds ratio [OR] 2.74), whereas being a supervisor (OR 0.21) and clerical work (OR 0.45) were related to reduced sick leave. Conclusion. Substantial sick leave in the past 6 months was reported by 26% of patients with early inflammatory joint conditions. Pain, functional limitations, and fewer opportunities to determine one's work activities were associated with the occurrence of sick leave.
