abstract: 'Job retention services are recommended for people with chronic diseases

  based on their high risk for work disability. This randomized trial

  tested the effectiveness of a job retention intervention in a sample of

  employed persons with rheumatic diseases at risk for work disability.

  One hundred and twenty-two experimental participants received the job

  retention intervention, and 120 controls received written materials.

  Employment status was assessed at 6-month intervals up to 48 months

  after enrollment. Main outcomes were time to job loss and satisfaction

  with the experimental and control interventions. The log-rank test was

  used to detect a difference between the groups in time to job loss.

  Between-group differences in satisfaction scores were analyzed using

  Wilcoxon tests. Job loss was delayed in experimental participants

  compared with controls, p = 0.03. Satisfaction scores for the job

  retention intervention were substantially higher than those for the

  written materials, p < 0.0001. Job retention intervention has the

  potential to reduce the high rates of chronic disease-associated job

  loss.'
