Work disability is common among women with fibromyalgia (FM). The aim of the study was to investigate what health problems and work-related difficulties lead to hinders for continued work among women with FM.
A qualitative interview study. Twenty-seven gainfully employed women with FM participated in five focus group interviews. Their median age was 52 years, ranging from 33 to 62. The transcribed interviews were analyzed by content analysis.
Health problems and work-related demands were identified. Limited physical capacity, increased stress and an increased need of rest were the major health problems, while physical, psychosocial and work organizational demands were the main work-related problems. Personal factors and factors related to family influenced the strategies used to manage the imbalance between the health problems and work-related demands.
Limited physical capacity and an increased need of rest made it difficult for these women to manage the physical, psychosocial and organizational work demands. Adjustment of the work tasks and work environment were the main factors influencing whether the women with FM could work or not.
纤维肌痛（FM）女性中普遍存在工作残疾。本研究旨在调查哪些健康问题和与工作相关的困难导致 FM 女性继续工作受阻。
一项定性访谈研究。27 名有薪工作的 FM 女性参加了 5 次焦点小组访谈。她们的中位年龄为 52 岁，范围为 33 至 62 岁。对转录的访谈进行了内容分析。
确定了健康问题和与工作相关的困难。身体能力有限、压力增加和休息需求增加是主要的健康问题，而身体、心理社会和工作组织需求是主要的与工作相关的问题。个人因素和与家庭有关的因素影响了用于管理健康问题和与工作相关的需求之间失衡的策略。
身体能力有限和休息需求增加使得这些女性难以管理身体、心理社会和组织工作需求。工作任务和工作环境的调整是影响 FM 女性是否能够工作的主要因素。
