abstract: 'Despite the growing recognition that work can contribute to the
development of musculoskeletal disorders,(1,8) there are almost no data
on whether and how physicians investigate the contribution of work to
patients'' health status or the influence of health status on work
performance. This is particularly true of primary care, where much of
the medical care for patients with work-related low back pain is
provided.(51) As more patients with musculoskeletal injuries show up in
primary care settings, it will become important to document
health-related work outcomes and incorporate into practice outcome tools
that enable the physician to obtain a quick and accurate accounting of
needed information about patients'' work.
Health-related work outcomes relate to a person''s labor market status:
Is a person working or not working? How well is he or she working? Did
the person return to a job of pay and skill comparable to the preinjury
job? Outcomes can incorporate time: How long has a person been out of
work? How many hours, days, or weeks has a person been reported absent?
Is the person working full- or part-time? How many hours does the person
perform at full effectiveness? Finally, health-related work outcomes can
capture the interplay between a person''s health status and work role
performance: How difficult is it for a person with a given health status
to perform work activities? Typically, health-related work outcomes have
not specifically referred to unpaid work activities, such as volunteer
work or household labor. The authors support the importance of capturing
both paid and unpaid work outcomes, but in this article, paid work is
the focus.
Multiple publications in the literature contribute conceptually and
methodologically to the health-related work outcomes field. These range
from industrial psychology and labor economics to health services
research, epidemiology, and pharmacoeconomics. In this paper, a window
into health-related work outcomes research is created by considering the
reasons for measuring these outcomes and briefly reviewing and
illustrating several classes of measures. The advantages and limitations
of each measure will be discussed, as the authors draw examples from own
work. Although prior work has focused on upper extremity musculoskeletal
disorders, the general principles for using health-related work outcomes
are similar for researchers studying back injuries and disorders. In
addition, a new work-related health outcome tool for measuring
successful return to work (RTW) is discussed to illustrate a new class
of measures, Hereafter, health-related work outcomes as are referred to
as work outcomes.'
