OBJECTIVE: A @entity1 's return to work has been considered a good indicator of his/her overall adaptation after suffering from @entity131 . A study has been designed at the Hospital del Trabajador to evaluate @entity1 ' psycho-pathological and social situations and to describe evolution and return-to-work predictors. Particular attention was paid to subjects' employment situations 2, 5 and 10 years after @entity131 . METHOD: @entity131 @entity1 who had also suffered @entity1566 , amputations and other physical impairments were excluded. A total of 202 individuals were evaluated by a psychologist and an occupational therapist during clinical interviews using the Hamilton Anxiety and @entity308 Rating Scale and the Neurobehavioural Rating Scale ( @entity13295 -R). Work situations were evaluated by interviewing the subjects and family members and, whenever possible, a @entity1 's immediate supervisor at his or her place of employment. RESULTS: Unemployed @entity1 presented more severe symptoms of @entity148 and @entity308 than those who were working. Significant differences were observed in the @entity13295 -R between employed and unemployed @entity1 . There was no change in the marital status for at least 10 years after @entity131 . CONCLUSION: Factors determining a poor prognosis for adaptation and re-insertion into the workplace are age, a low educational level, a lack of job qualifications and greater @entity73 . The significant differences found between the @entity13295 -R of employed and unemployed @entity1 suggest that this variable may be used to predict a subject's ability to return to work.
