This study i) describes the number of police personnel with PTSD who are working and those who are on sick leave before and after an out-patient-clinic treatment program and ii) examines which factors are related to return to work.
Police personnel treated for PTSD (n=121).
In this retrospective study all police officers had an intake interview before and an outtake interview following a 16-week treatment for PTSD. Information about several personal characteristics, PTSD complaints, and work related factors were gathered. A t-test and chi-square test were used to evaluate differences between working police personnel and police personnel on sick leave at intake and outtake. Binary logistic regression was used to test whether the intake data were related to returning to work at outtake.
At the start of the treatment half of the police personnel were on sick leave (n=59) and at outtake 48 participants who were not working at intake had returned to work. None of the variables at intake contributed significantly to return to work at outtake.
The majority of police officers returned to work after the treatment program. We recommend that attention be paid to successful return to work as part of the treatment program, therefore the occupational health professional and employer should be involved.
本研究i）描述接受门诊治疗项目前后正在工作和休病假的创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）警察人员的数量，ii）研究哪些因素与重返工作岗位有关。
接受PTSD治疗的警察人员（n = 121）。
在这项回顾性研究中，所有警察在接受为期16周的PTSD治疗前进行了一次入院访谈，治疗后进行了一次出院访谈。收集了有关个人特征、PTSD症状以及工作相关因素的信息。采用t检验和卡方检验来评估入院和出院时在职警察人员和休病假警察人员之间的差异。二元逻辑回归用于检验入院数据是否与出院时重返工作岗位有关。
治疗开始时，一半的警察人员休病假（n = 59），出院时有48名入院时未工作的参与者重返工作岗位。入院时的变量均未对出院时重返工作岗位有显著贡献。
大多数警察在治疗项目后重返工作岗位。我们建议将成功重返工作岗位作为治疗项目的一部分予以关注，因此职业健康专业人员和雇主应参与其中。
