DISABIL REHABIL , 2000, vol. 22, n° 15, p. 639-654 Doc n°: 97323 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : JF - QUALITE DE VIE Purpose: To evaluate the two year outcome of multidisciplinary rehabilitation for patients with prolonged musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), in terms of health-related quality of life (HRQL) and working ability. In addition, predictors of outcome were examined. Methods: The rehabilitation group and the matched control group comprised 122 and 114 patients respectively. Baseline data were compared with two year follow-up data within and between the groups. The variables that were measured were: HRQL (Nottingham Health Profile), motivation, body awareness, pain, pain-related medicine consumption, psychosomatic symptoms, working environment and working ability. Results: Variables which improved significantly for the rehabilitation group compared with the control group were: HRQL (p = 0.049), emotional reactions (p = 0.043), pain related to movements (p = 0.028) and need for pain-related medicines (p = 0.009). Multivariate regression analysis including all patients revealed that motivation was a predictor of change in HRQL (p = 0.001) and working ability (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The rehabilitation programme appeared to improve HRQL to a greater extent than ordinary treatment available within primary care. The patient's level of motivation could be an important predictor of outcome. Langue : ANGLAIS Identifiant basis : 2000213248 |
