abstract: 'Objectives: To explore the financial and employment impacts following
serious injury.
Design: Semi-structured telephone administered qualitative interviews
with purposive sampling and thematic qualitative analysis.
Participants: 118 patients (18-81 years) registered by the Victorian
State Trauma Registry or Victorian Orthopaedic Trauma Outcomes Registry
12-24 months post-injury.
Results: Key findings of the study were that although out-of-pocket
treatment costs were generally low, financial hardship was prevalent
after hospitalisation for serious injury, and was predominantly
experienced by working age patients due to prolonged absences from paid
employment. Where participants were financially pressured prior to
injury, injury further exacerbated these financial concerns. Reliance on
savings and loans and the need to budget carefully to limit financial
burden were discussed. Financial implications of loss of income were
generally less for those covered by compensation schemes, with
non-compensable participants requiring welfare payments due to an
inability to earn an income. Most participants reported that the injury
had a negative impact on work. Loss of earnings payments from injury
compensation schemes and income protection policies, supportive
employers, and return to work programs were perceived as key factors in
reducing the financial burden of injured participants. Employer-related
barriers to return to work included the employer not listening to the
needs of the injured participant, not understanding their physical
limitations, and placing unrealistic expectations on the injured person.
While the financial benefits of compensation schemes were acknowledged,
issues accessing entitlements and delays in receiving benefits were
commonly reported by participants, suggesting that improvements in
scheme processes could have substantial benefits for injured patients.
Conclusions: Seriously injured patients commonly experienced substantial
financial and work-related impacts of injury. Participants of working
age who were unemployed prior to injury, did not have extensive leave
accrual at their pre-injury employment, and those not covered by injury
compensation schemes or income protection insurance clearly represent
participants ``at risk'''' for substantial financial hardship post-injury.
Early identification of these patients, and improved provision of
information about financial support services, budgeting and work
retraining could assist in alleviating financial stress after injury (C)
