abstract: 'Objective: To identify barriers to return to work after burn injury as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
identified by the patient.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Design: A cohort study with telephone interview up to 1 year.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Setting: Hospital-based burn centers at 3 national sites.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Participants: Hospitalized patients (N=154) meeting-the American Burn
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Association criteria for major burn injury, employed at least 20 hours a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
week at the time of injury, and with access to a telephone after
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
discharge.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Intervention: Patients were contacted via telephone every 2 weeks up to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4 months, then monthly up to I year after discharge.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Main Outcome Measures: A return to work survey was used to identify
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
barriers that prevented patients from returning to work. A graphic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rating scale determined the impact of each barrier.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results: By 1 year, 79.7\% of patients returned to work. Physical and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wound issues were barriers early after discharge. Although physical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
abilities continued to be a significant barrier up to I year, working
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conditions (temperature, humidity, safety) and psychosocial factors
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(nightmares, flashbacks, appearance concerns) became important issues in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
those with long-term disability.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conclusions: The majority of patients return to work after a burn
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
injury. Although physical and work conditions are important barriers,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
psychosocial issues need to be evaluated and treated to optimize return
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to work.'
