abstract: 'Objective: Stroke is the greatest cause of disability in adults. A
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
quarter of strokes in the UK affect people of working age, yet under
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
half of them return to work after stroke. There has been little
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
investigation into what constitutes ``return to work{''''} following
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
stroke. The aim of this study is to describe the work metrics of stroke
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
survivor participants in a feasibility randomized controlled trial of an
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
early stroke-specific vocational rehabilitation intervention.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Methods: Retrospective analysis of trial data. Metrics on work status,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
working hours, workplace accommodations and costs were extracted from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
trial outcomes gathered by postal questionnaire at 3, 6, and 12 months''
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
post-randomization for 46 stroke participants in a feasibility
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
randomized controlled trial. Participants were randomized to receive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
vocational rehabilitation (intervention) or usual care (control).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results: Two-thirds (n = 29; 63\%) of participants returned to work at
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
some point in the 12 months following stroke. Participants took a mean
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of 90 days to return to work. Most returned to the same role with an
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
existing employer. Only one-third of participants who were employed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
full-time at stroke onset were working full-time at 12 months
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
post-stroke. Most participants experienced a reduction in pre-stroke
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
earnings. Workplace accommodations were more common among intervention
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
group participants. More intervention participants than control
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participants reported satisfaction with work at both 6 and 12 months
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
post-randomization.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conclusion: This study illustrates the heterogeneous nature of return to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
work and the dramatic impact of stroke on work status, working hours and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
income. Longitudinal research should explore the socioeconomic legacy of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
stroke and include clear definitions of work and accurate measures of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
working hours and income from all sources.'
