The "CardioWork" protocol, for work resumption after invasive heart procedures and subsequent cardiac rehabilitation, is presented.
Over 5 years, 107 consecutive patients of working age were enrolled. Jobs were classified as multiples of basal metabolism according to the entity of physical strain. These data were integrated with instrumental evaluations to provide indications regarding time and modality of work resumption.
A total of 89.7% of patients resumed working. Other relevant findings include the correlation of time for work resumption with the kind of treatment and the task energy requirement; the earliness of return to work, even for older people and those performing heavy tasks; and the difficulty of work resumption for those who failed to restart work within 6 months.
This study highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary rehabilitative approach to facilitate work resumption, adapting the work tasks to the changed psychophysical capabilities.
介绍“心脏康复工作”方案,用于侵入性心脏手术后恢复工作和随后的心脏康复。
在 5 年多的时间里,共纳入了 107 名处于工作年龄的连续患者。根据体力劳动的实体,将工作分为基础代谢的倍数。这些数据与仪器评估相结合,为恢复工作的时间和方式提供了指示。
共有 89.7%的患者恢复工作。其他相关发现包括恢复工作时间与治疗方法和任务能量需求的相关性;即使对于老年人和从事重体力劳动的人,工作的早期恢复;以及对于那些在 6 个月内未能重新开始工作的人来说,工作恢复的困难。
本研究强调了多学科康复方法的重要性,以促进工作恢复,使工作任务适应改变的身心能力。
