abstract: 'Purpose. To review literature on return to work (RTW) and employment in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
persons with spinal cord injury (SCI), and present employment rates,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
factors influencing employment, and interventions aimed at helping
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
people with SCI to obtain and sustain productive work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Methods. A systematic review for 2000-2006 was carried out in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PubMed/Medline, AMED, (ISI) Web of Science, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycInfo and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sociological abstracts database. The keywords `spinal cord injuries'',
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`spinal cord disorder'', `spinal cord lesion'' or `spinal cord disease''
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
were cross-indexed with `employment'', `return to work'', `occupation'' or
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`vocational''.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Results. Out of approximately 270 hits, 110 references were used, plus
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
13 more found elsewhere. Among individuals with SCI working at the time
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
of injury 21 - 67 \% returned to work after injury. RTW was higher in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
persons injured at a younger age, had less severe injuries and higher
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
functional independence. Employment rate improved with time after SCI.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Persons with SCI employed ranged from 11.5\% to 74\%. Individuals who
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sustained SCI during childhood or adolescence had higher adult
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
employment rates. Most common reported barriers to employment were
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
problems with transportation, health and physical limitations, lack of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
work experience, education or training, physical or architectural
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
barriers, discrimination by employers, and loss of benefits. Individuals
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
with SCI discontinue working at younger age.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Conclusions. This review confirmed low employment rates after SCI.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Future research should explore interventions aimed at helping people
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
with SCI to obtain and sustain productive work.'
