Migraine headache is the cause of an estimated 250,000,000 lost days from work or school every year and is often associated with decreased work productivity. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess the relationship between perceived disability, job satisfaction and work productivity in patients affected by chronic migraineurs. Participants were 98 consecutive adult outpatients admitted to the Regional Referral Headache Centre of the Sant'Andrea Hospital in Rome, Italy. Patients were administered the Italian Perceived Disability Scale, The Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire-Work Subscale and The Endicott Work Productivity Scale. Perceived disability is significantly associated with job satisfaction and work productivity. Job satisfaction is significantly related to work productivity and mediates the association between perceived disability and work productivity in patients affected by chronic migraineurs. Our results confirm that patients suffering from migraine headaches who have negative perceptions of their disability are less satisfied with their job, which in turn, decreases their work productivity.
偏头痛每年导致约 2.5 亿个工作日或学习日的损失，并且常常与工作效率降低有关。本横断面研究旨在评估慢性偏头痛患者中感知残疾、工作满意度和工作生产力之间的关系。参与者为意大利罗马圣安德烈亚医院区域转诊头痛中心连续收治的 98 例成年门诊患者。患者接受了意大利感知残疾量表、生活质量享受和满意度问卷工作分量表和恩迪科特工作生产力量表的评估。感知残疾与工作满意度显著相关。工作满意度与工作生产力显著相关，并在慢性偏头痛患者中调节感知残疾与工作生产力之间的关系。我们的结果证实，患有偏头痛的患者如果对自己的残疾有负面看法，对工作的满意度就会降低，从而降低工作生产力。
