Predictors of work resumption in 415 patients (372 male and 43 female) one year after myocardial infarction were studied. Clinical data obtained during the hospital phase and during treatment in a specialized rehabilitation centre, and a questionnaire one year after MI were analysed. Significant negative factors for re-employment were complications during the acute phase of illness and post-infarction angina. An increased rate re-employment was found in patients with a higher work tolerance in an exercise test at discharge from the rehabilitation centre and in patients who climbed to the second floor without symptoms one year after MI (P<0.001). Furthermore, patients who perceived their health more positively, and those of higher educational level were more likely to return to work. The motivation to resume work in patients of a higher educational level seems to be more prominent than in patients of a lower educational level. If treatment in a specialized rehabilitation centre started sooner, the rate of re-employment was better (P<0.001). [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
