Purpose Construction remains one of the most hazardous and disabling industries worldwide. This scoping review was completed to identify barriers and facilitators related to return-to-work (RTW) after work injury in the construction industry and gaps in the literature. Methods We searched ten databases from 1990 to 2020 for academic and grey literature. Two independent reviewers screened citations for inclusion. One team member charted the data and a second team member reviewed the coding. Articles were included if they identified any barriers or facilitators to RTW in the construction industry. The findings were synthesized into overarching themes. Results Our search identified 6706 articles for screening, with 22 articles included in the final sample. Three articles used qualitative methods, while the remaining articles were quantitative. The majority of articles were from North America and published in academic journals. Overall, findings are organized under seven main themes: worker sociodemographic characteristics; injury characteristics; worker motivation; workplace goodwill; modified work and disability management; work disability systems; and access to healthcare. Some barriers and facilitators are more relevant to the construction industry compared with the general working population. Conclusions: The findings suggest that accommodations are possible for this industry but barriers still exist in identifying suitable work. More research is needed to investigate the role of union involvement, work disability management systems, gender, and organizational characteristics, such as multiple worksites, in relation to RTW in the construction industry.
建筑行业仍然是全球最危险和致残的行业之一。本范围综述旨在确定建筑行业工伤后重返工作岗位(RTW)的障碍和促进因素以及文献中的差距。
我们从 1990 年到 2020 年在十个数据库中搜索学术和灰色文献。两名独立评审员筛选引文以确定是否符合纳入标准。一个团队成员对数据进行图表分析,另一个团队成员审查编码。如果文章确定了建筑行业中 RTW 的任何障碍或促进因素,则将其纳入。研究结果综合为总体主题。
我们的搜索共筛选出 6706 篇文章,最终有 22 篇文章被纳入最终样本。三篇文章采用了定性方法,其余文章则采用了定量方法。大多数文章来自北美,并发表在学术期刊上。总体而言,研究结果分为七个主要主题:工人的社会人口特征;受伤特征;工人的动机;工作场所的善意;工作调整和残疾管理;工作残疾系统;以及医疗保健的可及性。一些障碍和促进因素与一般劳动力相比,与建筑行业更为相关。
研究结果表明,建筑行业可以进行调整,但在确定合适的工作方面仍然存在障碍。需要进一步研究工会参与、工作残疾管理系统、性别以及组织特征(如多个工作场所)在建筑行业 RTW 中的作用。
