The aim of this study was to determine how injured Australian workers perceived employer emotional (eg, empathy) and instrumental [eg, return-to-work (RTW) planning] support during the RTW process and examine associations between support and RTW.
Using data from the 2014 National Return to Work Survey of injured workers with a workers' compensation claim, multinomial regression models examined relationships between support and RTW.
Receiving support and developing RTW plans were significantly associated with a greater likelihood of RTW. When controlled for one another in a single model, postclaim support had the strongest association with RTW, with RTW planning also significantly and positively associated with RTW.
Provision of both emotional and instrumental support are important employer-led work disability management interventions. Research is required to develop strategies for increasing employer support to lead to improved RTW outcomes for injured workers.
本研究旨在确定澳大利亚受伤工人在康复过程中如何感知雇主的情感（例如同理心）和工具性支持（例如重返工作岗位[RTW]规划），并探讨支持与 RTW 之间的关系。
利用 2014 年全国工伤康复调查中受伤工人的工人赔偿索赔数据，采用多项回归模型研究支持与 RTW 之间的关系。
获得支持和制定 RTW 计划与更高的 RTW 可能性显著相关。在单一模型中相互控制时，索赔后支持与 RTW 的关联最强，RTW 规划也与 RTW 显著正相关。
提供情感和工具性支持是雇主主导的工作残疾管理干预的重要措施。需要研究制定增加雇主支持的策略，以改善受伤工人的 RTW 结果。
