A quarter of stroke survivors are of working age; information about the impact of stroke on those who are working is limited. We investigated the expectations and experiences of stroke survivors in relationship to return to work.
This qualitative tudy used semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 13 patients working at onset of cerebrovascular disease. Interviews were conducted between 3 months and 8 years post stroke in order to gain an insight into both individuals' initial expectations and their actual experiences in relation to return to work.
Full thematic analysis of the interview transcripts was undertaken, findings reported focus on the data relating to work. Work related sub-themes included continuing symptoms affecting plans to return to work, experiences of returning to work (including uncertainty over timing of return and fears about coping at work), changing job or career and the emotional impact of enforced retirement.
Information provision, return to work support systems and potential changes in life roles are important aspects to consider when assessing the impact of stroke and managing the consequences in people of working age.
四分之一的中风幸存者处于工作年龄；关于中风对在职人员影响的信息有限。我们调查了中风幸存者重返工作岗位的期望和经历。
这项定性研究对13名在脑血管疾病发病时仍在工作的患者进行了半结构化的深入访谈。访谈在中风后3个月至8年期间进行，以便深入了解个人最初的期望以及他们重返工作岗位的实际经历。
对访谈记录进行了全面的主题分析，报告的结果聚焦于与工作相关的数据。与工作相关的子主题包括持续症状影响重返工作计划、重返工作岗位的经历（包括返回时间的不确定性以及对工作应对能力的担忧）、更换工作或职业以及强制退休的情感影响。
在评估中风的影响并处理对工作年龄人群的后果时，提供信息、重返工作支持系统以及生活角色的潜在变化是需要考虑的重要方面。
