This study focuses on the continuation of gainful employment after experiencing stroke, addressing factors indicative of readiness for return to work, subjective well-being and life satisfaction.
The target group comprised 120 patients, studied by means of medical records and postal questionnaires.
A total of 41% had returned to work, although there were changes concerning employers, assignments and working hours. Individuals who had returned to work reported a significantly higher level in subjective well-being and life satisfaction. Being able to walk meant the greatest chance of returning to work (odds ratio = 3.98) followed by white-collar worker (odds ratio = 2.99) and having preserved cognitive capacity (odds ratio = 2.64).
Returning to work after stroke is a major factor for high subjective well-being and life satisfaction. Three factors indicative of readiness for return to work were identified, providing implications for more efficient vocational rehabilitation programmes.
本研究聚焦于中风后继续从事有收益的工作,探讨表明准备好重返工作的因素、主观幸福感和生活满意度。
目标群体包括120名患者,通过病历和邮寄问卷进行研究。
共有41%的患者已重返工作岗位,不过在雇主、工作任务和工作时长方面存在变化。已重返工作岗位的个体报告称其主观幸福感和生活满意度水平显著更高。能够行走意味着重返工作的可能性最大(优势比=3.98),其次是白领工作者(优势比=2.99)以及认知能力未受损(优势比=2.64)。
中风后重返工作是主观幸福感和生活满意度较高的一个主要因素。确定了三个表明准备好重返工作的因素,为更有效的职业康复计划提供了启示。
