  • Psychosocial job conditions, fear avoidance beliefs and expected return to work following acute coronary syndrome

    Open AccessMia Söderberg, Annika Rosengren et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    This cross-sectional study showed that acute coronary syndrome survivors, who laboured under adverse psychosocial work conditions, held fear-avoidance beliefs towards their workplace. Furthermore, these beliefs mediated the relationships between - high strained or high effort-reward imbalanced work - and expected return to work.

Demands for achievement and availability as well as personal dependency were major causes of high ICT exposure but also direct sources of stress and mental symptoms. The proposed model shows that factors in different domains may have an impact and should be considered in ep…

For both women and men, conditions at work seem to be most important. However, the division of responsibilities between partners was also fou…
