Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the frequency and determinant factors for returning to the work after amputation and to compare amputated individuals who are employed or unemployed in terms of healthy quality of life and functional status.Patients and methods: The study included 70 patients (61 males, 9 females; mean age 36.67±12.70 years; range 17 to 65 years) with amputation between July 2014 and September 2014 demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients, amputation level, duration and cause of amputation, return-to-work status after amputation, duration of treatment, and duration of off-days were recorded.Results: Time from amputation to return to work was 23.66±29.74 months. After amputation, 39 men (63.9%) returned to work, while 22 (36.1%) of them did not return. Four women (44.4%) returned to work, while five (55.6%) of them did not return. Of patients who returned to work after amputation, 26 (37.1%) worked at an unfavorable employment, whereas 34 (48.6%) of them were found to lose their premorbid productivity. Sex and the use of protheses had no effect on returning to work after amputation, while being married, younger age, time from amputation, and long-term prothesis use increased the rate of returning to work. Returning to work after amputation did not affect the quality of life, functional status, and depressive mood of patients.Conclusion: Our study results show that the factors such as time from amputation, age, and marital status have an important effect on returning to work after amputation. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to tailor an effective and organized rehabilitation program to decrease disability and to encourage the patients to return to work

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada ampütasyon sonrası işe dönüş sıklığı ve işe dönüşü belirleyen faktörler araştırıldı ve çalışan ve çalışmayan ampüte bireyler yaşam kalitesi ve fonksiyonel durum açısından karşılaştırıldı.Hastalar ve yöntemler: Çalışmaya Temmuz 2014 - Eylül 2014 tarihleri arasında 70 ampüte hasta (61 erkek, 9 kadın; ort. yaş 36.67±12.70; dağılım 17-65 yıl) dahil edildi. Hastaların demografik ve klinik özellikleri, ampütasyon seviyesi, ampütasyon süresi ve nedeni, ampütasyon sonrası işe başlama durumu, tedavi süresi ve işten uzak kalma süresi kaydedildi.Bulgular: Ampütasyondan işe dönüşe kadar geçen zaman 23.66±29.74 aydı. Ampütasyon sonrası erkeklerin 39'u (%63.9) çalışmakta, 22'si (%36.1) çalışmamakta idi. Kadın hastaların ise dördü (%44.4) çalışmakta, beşi (%55.6) çalışmamaktaydı. Ampütasyon sonrası işe başlayan hastaların 26'sı (%37.1) tercih etmediği bir işte çalışırken, 34'ünün (%48.6) hastalık öncesi üretkenliğinin kaybedildiği saptandı. Cinsiyet ve protez kullanımı ampütasyon sonrası işe dönüşü etkilemezken, evli olmak, genç yaş, ampütasyondan itibaren geçen süre ve protezin uzun süredir kullanılması işe dönüş oranını artırdı. Ampütasyon sonrası işe başlama hastaların yaşam kalitesi, fonksiyonel durum ve depresif duygudurumunu etkilemedi.Sonuç: Çalışma bulgularımız ampütasyon süresi, yaş, medeni durum gibi faktörlerin işe dönüş üzerinde önemli bir etkisi olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu nedenle, özürlülüğü azaltmak ve hastaların işe dönüşünü desteklemek için etkili ve organize bir rehabilitasyon programının planlanması çok önemlidir
