This paper, part 2 of the two-part paper, reviews return-to-work outcomes among individuals with coronary heart disease, who participated in an experimental field study reported in part 1 of the two-part paper. Study results reflected specific job stressors associated with physical and mental demands among various job tasks. Trends suggest that personality characteristics commonly associated with 'type a' personalities and cardiac disease risk factors may also serve as positive forces that influence return-to-work activity.
METHODS/RESULTS: Relatively high levels of job satisfaction were reported among most experimental subjects. Despite having high return-to-work expectations, these patients lacked specific strategies and resources to facilitate a concrete return to work action plan.
The researchers conclude that it is essential for cardiac rehabilitation staff, when creating a return to work transition for their cardiac patients, to explore the physical and psychosocial dimensions of jobs, the receptivity of the employer, and the accommodations needed to promote a safe and timely return to work.
本文为一篇分为两部分的论文的第二部分，回顾了参与该两部分论文第一部分所报道的一项实验性实地研究的冠心病患者的重返工作成果。研究结果反映了与各种工作任务中的身心需求相关的特定工作压力源。趋势表明，通常与“A型”人格和心脏病风险因素相关的人格特征也可能作为影响重返工作活动的积极因素。
方法/结果：大多数实验对象报告了相对较高的工作满意度。尽管对重返工作抱有很高期望，但这些患者缺乏具体策略和资源来促成具体的重返工作计划。
研究人员得出结论，对于心脏康复工作人员而言，在为心脏病患者制定重返工作过渡计划时，探索工作的身体和社会心理层面、雇主的接受程度以及促进安全及时重返工作所需的调整措施至关重要。
