The aim of the study is to identify work-related determinants of return to work (RTW) of employees who are on long-term sickness absence.
The study was based on a sample of 926 employees on sickness absence (maximum duration of 12 weeks). The employees filled out a baseline questionnaire and were subsequently followed until the 10th month after listing sick. Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to identify determinants of RTW.
Working in one of the vocational sectors public administration, construction, financial and commercial services, transport, or education (P = 0.00) and having low co-worker support (P = 0.01) were related to longer duration to RTW in the multivariate model. Having low supervisor support (P = 0.01) was associated with a higher RTW rate.
Vocational sector is a strong predictor of RTW. Especially employees from the sector education are slow as to RTW. The observed association between low supervisor support and RTW was unexpected. However, the study confirms earlier research on the association between low co-worker support and RTW.
本研究旨在确定长期病假员工复工（RTW）的工作相关决定因素。
该研究基于926名病假员工（最长病假时长为12周）的样本。员工填写了一份基线调查问卷，随后进行跟踪，直至登记病假后的第10个月。采用Cox比例风险回归分析来确定复工的决定因素。
在多元模型中，就职于公共管理、建筑、金融和商业服务、运输或教育等行业之一（P = 0.00）以及同事支持度低（P = 0.01）与复工时间较长有关。上级支持度低（P = 0.01）与较高的复工率相关。
行业是复工的有力预测因素。特别是教育行业的员工复工较慢。上级支持度低与复工之间的关联出人意料。然而，该研究证实了早期关于同事支持度低与复工之间关联的研究。
