A three level outcome variable indicated whether patients had: (1) returned to work functioning successfully, (2) returned to work functioning with limitations, or (3) not returned to work for health reasons. Two job strain measures were created: one, by combining psychological job demands and job control; and two, by dividing demands by control. Ordinal logistic regression was used to identify predictors of the three level work outcome variable.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>After adjustment, workers with high demands and high control (active work) were less likely to successfully return to work (OR\u200a=\u200a0.22; p\u200a=\u200a0.014) at two months. Having a job with higher demands than job control (high strain) predicted not returning to work or returning to work but not successfully meeting job demands (OR\u200a=\u200a0.14; p\u200a=\u200a0.001), at six months.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>The findings underscore the role of psychosocial work conditions, as defined by the Karasek demand-control model, in explaining a worker\u2019s return to work. Clinicians, researchers, and employers should consider a multidimensional and integrative model of successful work role functioning upon return to work. Moreover, since the evidence of the effects of work process changes on the reduction of CTS is very scarce, these findings point to the opportunity for collaborative workplace interventions to facilitate successful return to work.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/oem.2004.016931","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,10,18]],"date-time":"2005-10-18T17:13:44Z","timestamp":1129655624000},"page":"778-785","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["The role of job strain on return to work after carpal tunnel surgery"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"D","family":"Gimeno","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"suffix":"III","given":"B C","family":"Amick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R V","family":"Habeck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Ossmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J N","family":"Katz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,10,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024052222505735000_62.11.778.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-0712(01)00002-6"},{"key":"2024052222505735000_62.11.778.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMcp013018"},{"key":"2024052222505735000_62.11.778.3","unstructured":"National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
