What Works (or Doesn’t) in Return to Work after Physical Injury? A Qualitative Study on the Perspectives of Trauma Patients and Health Care Professionals on Barriers and Facilitators in Return to Work
According to patients and HCPs, regardless of the injury, the combination of injury type and job type influences RTW. Across injuries, receiving RTW follow-up care from HCPs in hospital was often missed, while perceived to facilitate RTW. Tailored RTW information could be useful to patients in resuming life after injury.
