To explore how people with serious injuries returned to paid employment in the first 3-years after injury.
Fifty-four adult survivors of serious injuries were interviewed at 3-years post-injury, all of whom had returned to work and were currently employed. A framework analysis approach was undertaken.
Participant decisions and actions taken to return to work (RTW) were influenced by their resilience, approach to adjusting goals, priorities and plans, and how social connections and relationships were used and maintained. The environment in which these decisions and actions were taken shaped opportunities for work in meaningful, appropriate, and sustained employment.
Our study of 54 people who RTW indicated the importance of personal adjustments and resources, positive social relations, and advanced planning aligning with responsive employers, insurers and health professionals for successful RTW.
探讨严重受伤者在受伤后 3 年内如何重返有偿工作。

参与者重返工作（RTW）的决定和采取的行动受到他们的适应能力、调整目标、优先事项和计划的方法以及如何利用和维持社会关系的影响。做出这些决定和采取这些行动的环境为从事有意义、适当和持续就业的工作创造了机会。
我们对 54 名 RTW 人员的研究表明，个人调整和资源、积极的社会关系以及与响应性雇主、保险公司和卫生专业人员协调一致的前瞻性计划对于成功 RTW 非常重要。
