Fibromyalgia symptoms such as continuous pain, tiredness, hyperalgesia, and allodynia limit gainful employment. The present study examines which factors influence the decision to remain in a work role for women with fibromyalgia. This information is important for the individual and for public finances.
Qualitative interviews were performed with 39 women, 19 of whom were gainfully employed and 20 who had stopped working. The transcribed interviews were analyzed and divided into categories and subcategories.
Four categories appear, at societal and individual levels, that were regarded as important by the women for remaining in a work role.
The ability to remain at work depends not only on limitations in work capacity, but also on the capacity of society to adjust work environments and work tasks. More individual solutions are needed to allow women with fibromyalgia to maintain work roles.
纤维肌痛症状,如持续疼痛、疲劳、痛觉过敏和感觉异常,会限制有收益的工作。本研究探讨了哪些因素会影响纤维肌痛女性继续工作的决定。这些信息对个人和公共财政都很重要。
对39名女性进行了定性访谈,其中19名有收益工作,20名已停止工作。对转录的访谈进行分析,并分为类别和子类别。
在社会和个人层面出现了四类因素,这些因素被女性认为对继续工作很重要。
继续工作的能力不仅取决于工作能力的限制,还取决于社会调整工作环境和工作任务的能力。需要更多个性化的解决方案,以使纤维肌痛女性能够维持工作。
