Returning to work after traumatic injury can have a range of benefits, but there is currently little research that incorporates patient perspectives to identify outcomes of vocational rehabilitation interventions that are important to survivors. Trauma survivors ( = 17) participated in in-depth semi-structured interviews or focus groups exploring outcomes that were important to them for recovery and return to work. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Participants identified a range of outcomes that they considered important and necessary to facilitate a successful and sustainable return to work: physical and psychological recovery, purposeful life engagement, managing expectations of recovery, managing expectations about return to work, and employers' expectations. Our participants advocated for a multifaceted and biopsychosocial understanding of recovery and outcomes that need to be captured for vocational rehabilitation interventions. Implications for practice and research are discussed, and recommendations are given based on the findings.
创伤后重返工作岗位可能有一系列好处，但目前几乎没有研究从患者角度出发，确定对幸存者重要的职业康复干预措施的结果。创伤幸存者（=17）参与了深入的半结构化访谈或焦点小组讨论，探讨了对他们康复和重返工作岗位重要的结果。使用主题分析对数据进行了分析。参与者确定了他们认为对促进成功和可持续重返工作岗位重要和必要的一系列结果：身体和心理康复、有意义的生活参与、管理康复期望、管理重返工作的期望，以及雇主的期望。我们的参与者主张对康复和结果进行多方面的生物心理社会理解，这需要为职业康复干预措施所捕捉。讨论了对实践和研究的影响，并根据研究结果提出了建议。
