Subjective and objective measures of function and return to work: an observational study with a clinical psychiatric cohort

Purpose To evaluate the association between two measurement tools (Social and Occupational Functioning Assessment Scale, SOFAS and Sheehan Disability Scale, SDS), returning to work (RTW) and their inter-correlation. Methods 132 psychiatric patients referred to assessment of work ability participated...

Description
Summary:Purpose To evaluate the association between two measurement tools (Social and Occupational Functioning Assessment Scale, SOFAS and Sheehan Disability Scale, SDS), returning to work (RTW) and their inter-correlation. Methods 132 psychiatric patients referred to assessment of work ability participated. The association between SOFAS and SDS Work to RTW were assessed by logistic regression. Inter-correlations between SOFAS and SDS were assessed with the Spearman’s rho correlation coefficient. Results SOFAS and SDS Work scores were associated with a 1-year RTW and SOFAS and SDS were inter-correlated. Conclusions When assigning the ability to work, both subjective and objective measures of function predict RTW.
