Empowering yet challenging
Background: Having a chronic disease such as multiple sclerosis (MS) may pose challenges for affected individuals in their work life. Given its progressive nature and wide range of symptoms, living with MS requires ongoing adaptation. In addition to work accommodations and support, individuals may develop their own strategies to manage their condition at work. Objectives: To explore experiences of people with MS (PwMS) in managing MS in the workp…
Sickness absence > 14 days following sport-related traumatic brain injuries
The vast majority of all SR-TBIs are concussions and seldom followed by a new SA. For patients with other types of SR-TBI and for those who required inpatient healthcare a new, and often longer SA were more frequent. Additionally, injuries from transport-accidents (e.g., horseback riding, bicycling) elevated the risk of a new SA, potentially indicating the presence of other physical injuries
Sickness absence > 14 days following mild traumatic brain injuries from traffic accidents
A traffic related mTBI is most often a benign injury, seldom resulting in a new SA spell of longer duration. When it does, it is more likely to involve car occupants, and those who have required in-patient health care
Disclosing or concealing multiple sclerosis in the workplace
Background: People with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) face health and social challenges of living with a chronic and potentially disabling condition. To disclose or conceal MS at work may critically affect individuals' work situation, career opportunities, and health. PwMS may experience a dilemma when assessing if the possible benefits of disclosing the diagnosis outweigh the possible risks. However, concealing in the long-term may have health impli…
Sex-specific socioeconomic risk factors for spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage—a case–control study during the 5 years before ictus
Background: There is a difference in the incidence of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) between sexes, with the majority of cases occurring in female patients. Although this phenomenon has been studied from a medical perspective, the reasons for the predominance of female cases are still unclear. Non-medical factors, such as a patient's socioeconomic situation, can differ between female and male patients, with health implications. The aim…
Exploring the working life of people with multiple sclerosis during the Covid-19 pandemic in Sweden
PwMS navigated the pandemic by interrupting as well as continuing their working lives. Many PwMS reported that the pandemic did not affect their work situation. However, the reported impacts differed among the participants and a sense of uncertainty and worry was often underlying their statements. Lessons from the pandemic may support future work participation
Diagnosis-specific sickness absence among injured working-aged pedestrians
This nationwide study of the working-aged pedestrians observed diverging patterns of SA after their accident. The largest cluster of pedestrians had no SA, and the other seven clusters had different patterns of SA in terms of diagnosis (injury and other diagnoses) and timing of SA. Differences were found between all clusters regarding sociodemographic and occupational factors. This information can contribute to the understanding of long-term cons…
Coordination and Perceived Support for Return to Work
From the patient's perspective, this study indicates that the involvement of an RTWC and receiving a rehabilitation plan that an RTWC has helped to design might be perceived as important in the RTW process
Patients’ Lived Experience in a Multicomponent Intervention for Fibromyalgia Syndrome in Primary Care
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) disrupts patients' biopsychosocial spheres. A multicomponent intervention (MCI) program, which combined health education, cognitive behavioral therapy, and physical activity, was conducted in South Catalonia's primary care centers with the aim of improving symptom self-management and quality of life. A qualitative interview study was carried out to understand patients' lived experiences during the intervention program.…
Sickness absence and disability pension among women with breast cancer
SA among women with BC was elevated mainly in the first year after diagnosis. New SA following BC diagnosis can accurately be predicted
Sickness absence and disability pension among injured working-aged pedestrians - a population-based Swedish register study
In this explorative nationwide study of the working-aged pedestrians injured in traffic-related accidents including falls, one fifth started a new SA spell >14 days. Fractures, internal injuries, collisions with motor vehicle, and falls related to snow and ice had the strongest associations with new SA
Sequence analysis of sickness absence and disability pension in the year before and the three years following a bicycle crash; a nationwide longitudinal cohort study of 6353 injured individuals
Sequence analysis enabled exploration of the large heterogeneity of SA and DP following a bicycle crash. More knowledge is needed on how to prevent bicycle crashes and especially those crashes/injuries leading to long-term consequences
Experiences of positive encounters with healthcare professionals among women on long-term sickness absence due to breast cancer or due to other diagnoses
Most of the women had experienced positive encounters and about half stated that positive encounters promoted their ability to RTW, although a slightly smaller proportion of the women with BC stated that. This study emphasizes that not only medical treatment but also encounters may influence the ability to RTW, something that is of clinical importance
Bicycle crashes and sickness absence - a population-based Swedish register study of all individuals of working ages
In this explorative nationwide study of new bicycle crashes among individuals of working ages, 18% had a new SA spell in connection to the crash while 10% were already on SA or DP. The ORs for new SA were higher among women, older individuals, and among individuals with a fracture
Sickness absence and disability pension due to otoaudiological diagnoses
This large nationwide population-based cohort study suggests an increased risk of mortality among individuals on disability pension due to otoaudiological diagnoses
Sickness absence due to otoaudiological diagnoses; a descriptive nationwide study
Although the actual number of individuals with a sick-leave spell due to specific otoaudiological diagnosis might not be considered high, the high prevalence of long sick-leave spells due to particularly hearing and tinnitus diagnoses indicates the importance of preventive and rehabilitative actions
