BACKGROUND.: Returning to work is important for many people following stroke. An estimate of the prevalence of people intending to return to work post-stroke would be helpful in planning services supporting work reintegration.
PURPOSE.: This study examined the prevalence of intention to return to work after discharge among stroke rehabilitation inpatients.
METHODS.: We performed secondary analysis of National Rehabilitation Reporting System data for all stroke rehabilitation inpatients across Ontario (2012-2017). Intention to return to work was examined by gender, age, and level of disability.
FINDINGS.: Among 25,691 stroke rehabilitation inpatients, 4,668 (18.2%) were employed pre-stroke and 2,039 (43.7%) of them intended to return to work. Intention to return to work was somewhat higher among younger and middle-aged stroke survivors and those with mild disability.
IMPLICATIONS.: Providers and planners should be aware that almost half of previously employed stroke-rehabilitation inpatients may be seeking services to assist with return to work.
对于许多中风患者来说，重返工作岗位很重要。对中风后打算重返工作岗位的人的患病率进行估计，有助于为支持工作再融入的服务提供规划。
本研究调查了出院后中风康复住院患者打算重返工作岗位的流行率。
我们对安大略省所有中风康复住院患者（2012-2017 年）的国家康复报告系统数据进行了二次分析。通过性别、年龄和残疾程度来检查工作意愿。
在 25691 名中风康复住院患者中，4668 名（18.2%）在中风前有工作，其中 2039 名（43.7%）打算重返工作岗位。年轻和中年中风幸存者以及残疾程度较轻的患者，工作意愿较高。
提供者和规划者应意识到，近一半以前有工作的中风康复住院患者可能正在寻求服务以帮助他们重返工作岗位。
