An important rehabilitation outcome for injured Māori is timely sustainable return to work. This paper identifies the factors influencing working after injury in an attempt to reduce the individual, social and economic costs. Māori participants in the Prospective Outcomes of Injury Study were interviewed, about pre-injury and injury-related factors. Among Māori participants, 521 were working for pay prior to injury; 64% were working three months post-injury. Factors identified, using modified Poisson regression, that predicted working include: financial security (aRR = 1.34, 95%CI 1.12-1.61), an injury of low (aRR = 1.76, 95%CI 1.26-2.44) or moderate severity (aRR = 1.86, 95%CI 1.34-2.59), professional occupations (aRR = 1.22, 95%CI 1.03-1.44) and jobs with less repetitive hand movements (aRR = 1.17, 95%CI 1.01-1.34). These factors identified warrant attention when planning interventions to enable rehabilitation back to the workplace.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 April 2019.
All research outputs
#31,191,732
of 34,372,222 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Environmental & Occupational Health
#338
of 380 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#327,623
of 365,946 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Environmental & Occupational Health
#2
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,372,222 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 380 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 365,946 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
