The factors influencing the return to work following first myocardial infarction were studied in 112 male patients, all of whom had previously been fully employed. Delay in return to work within 4 months of discharge from hospital was seen in patients who were not given an early hospital follow-up appointment and in those who attibuted their illness to aspects of their work. Encouragement by the General Practitioner to resume employment was found to be essential if an unnecessary delay was to be avoided. Positive advice of this nature was given more frequently by General Practitioners whose patients had been seen at early hospital review. Age, a tendency to neuroticism, personal knowledge of how others had fared following a similar illness, and apparent benefit from sick payments did not appear to influence the rate of return to work.
对112名男性患者进行了研究，这些患者均曾全职工作，旨在探究影响首次心肌梗死后重返工作岗位的因素。未获得早期医院随访预约的患者以及将疾病归因于工作方面的患者，在出院后4个月内出现了重返工作岗位的延迟。如果要避免不必要的延迟，发现全科医生的鼓励对恢复工作至关重要。早期在医院接受复查的患者的全科医生更频繁地给予这种积极建议。年龄、神经质倾向、对他人患类似疾病后情况的个人了解以及病假支付的明显益处似乎并未影响重返工作岗位的比率。
