  • Title: Long-term disability and return to work.
    Author: Sheikh K, Mattingly S.
    Journal: J R Coll Gen Pract; 1981 Nov; 31(232):670-3. PubMed ID: 6460098.
    Abstract:
    In a study of 2,113 physically or mentally disabled adults, an early return to stable employment was found to be largely dependent on two interrelated factors: motivation for work and the duration of unemployment before rehabilitation. If doctors refer such patients for medical and vocational rehabilitation at the earliest opportunity, they can help to reduce the period of unemployment and to restore patients' confidence and motivation.
