The purpose of the study was to explore the return to work (RTW) expectations of adult renal transplant recipients and their transplant physicians. The design was a prospective survey. Data was collected from 25 adult end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients who were admitted to a large Midwestern transplant center for renal transplantation and the surgeons who performed their transplant operations. Self-administered questionnaires were completed pretransplant by the recipients and surgeons, and at 6 weeks posttransplant by the recipients. Recipients who were employed pretransplant and were more likely to expect to RTW posttransplant, did so at higher rates than recipients who were not employed pretransplant and had physicians who did not expect them to RTW. The results illustrate that posttransplant RTW expectations of both renal transplant recipients and their physicians, when assessed pretransplant, are often congruent and are indicative of recipient posttransplant vocational rehabilitation.
该研究的目的是探讨成年肾移植受者及其移植医生对重返工作岗位（RTW）的期望。研究设计为前瞻性调查。数据收集自25名成年终末期肾病（ESRD）患者，他们因肾移植入住中西部一家大型移植中心，以及为他们实施移植手术的外科医生。受者和外科医生在移植前自行填写问卷，受者在移植后6周再次填写问卷。移植前受雇且更有可能期望移植后重返工作岗位的受者，其重返工作岗位的比例高于移植前未受雇且医生不期望他们重返工作岗位的受者。结果表明，在移植前评估时，肾移植受者及其医生对移植后重返工作岗位的期望通常是一致的，并且预示着受者移植后的职业康复情况。
