LUGO-AGUDELO, Luz Helena et al. Quality of Life and Reintegration to Work in Patients with Moderate and Severe Trauma due to Traffic Accidents in Medellin (Colombia). Rev. Gerenc. Polit. Salud [online]. 2015, vol.14, n.28, pp.88-96. ISSN 1657-7027. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.rgyps18-28.CVrt.
Objective: Assessing the quality of life (CV) and its relationship with reintegration to work, depression and pain in people injured in traFFic accidents. Methods: we evaluated reintegration to work, CV (SF-36); depression (PHQ-9); and pain (visual analog scale), in patients with moderate or severe trauma. Results: twelve months after the trauma 367 out of 461 patients reintegrated to work (81.4%). The patients that did not reintegrate had lower scores in the CV subscales, compared to the reference scores; those who did reintegrate to work had higher scores. We did not observe depression and PHQ-9 had a greater correlation with the emotional performance subscale of SF-36 in reintegrated people and with physical performance in those who did not reintegrate. CV was aFFected by the severity of the injuries and pain. Conclusion: CV is lower and was aFFected by the severity of the injuries and depression in patients who did not reintegrate to work.
