Unmet workplace support needs and lost productivity of workers with systemic sclerosis: a path analysis study
Arthritis Care & Research Mar 12, 2021
Jetha A, et al. - This study was undertaken to investigate the association between unmet workplace support needs and work productivity loss among workers with systemic sclerosis (SSc), and to ascertain if SSc symptom severity, fatigue, active disease periods, and workplace activity limitations mediate the association between unmet workplace support needs and work productivity loss. Researchers performed a cross‐sectional survey of employed individuals with SSc who were recruited through rheumatology clinics. They included a sum of 110 employed participants (mean ± SD ages 49 ± 12.9 years). The results of this study demonstrate that interventions need to address symptom severity and meet workplace support needs, to foster productive employment of individuals with SSc.
