abstract: 'Introduction Within the labour force workers without an employment
|
|
|
|
contract represent a vulnerable group. In most cases, when sick-listed,
|
|
|
|
these workers have no workplace/employer to return to. Therefore, the
|
|
|
|
aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness on return-to-work of
|
|
|
|
a participatory return-to-work program compared to usual care for
|
|
|
|
unemployed workers and temporary agency workers, sick-listed due to
|
|
|
|
musculoskeletal disorders. Methods The workers, sick-listed for 2-8
|
|
|
|
weeks due to musculoskeletal disorders, were randomly allocated to the
|
|
|
|
participatory return-to-work program (n = 79) or to usual care (n = 84).
|
|
|
|
The new program is a stepwise procedure aimed at making a
|
|
|
|
consensus-based return-to-work plan, with the possibility of a temporary
|
|
|
|
(therapeutic) workplace. Outcomes were measured at baseline, 3, 6, 9 and
|
|
|
|
12 months. The primary outcome measure was time to sustainable first
|
|
|
|
return-to-work. Secondary outcome measures were duration of sickness
|
|
|
|
benefit, functional status, pain intensity, and perceived health.
|
|
|
|
Results The median duration until sustainable first return-to-work was
|
|
|
|
161 days in the intervention group, compared to 299 days in the usual
|
|
|
|
care group. The new return-to-work program resulted in a non-significant
|
|
|
|
delay in RTW during the first 90 days, followed by a significant
|
|
|
|
advantage in RTW rate after 90 days (hazard ratio of 2.24 {[}95\%
|
|
|
|
confidence interval 1.28-3.94] P = 0.005). No significant differences
|
|
|
|
were found for the measured secondary outcomes. Conclusions The newly
|
|
|
|
developed participatory return-to-work program seems to be a promising
|
|
|
|
intervention to facilitate work resumption and reduce work disability
|
|
|
|
among temporary agency workers and unemployed workers, sick-listed due
|
|
|
|
to musculoskeletal disorders.'
