Differences Over Time in the Prognostic Effect of Return to Work Self-Efficacy on a Sustained Return to Work

Conclusions The results indicate that RTW-SE at 4 –6 months post-injury is important for a sustained RTW 6-months later although RTW-SE at 10–12 months post-injury had a negligible association over the same duration. Further research should investigate whether these findings generalize to other populations and what factors other than RTW-SE a re associated with RTW in the later stages of the RTW process.
