AbstractSchoppen T, Boonstra A, Groothoff JW, de Vries J, Göeken LNH, Eisma WH. Employment status, job characteristics, and work-related health experience of people with a lower limb amputation in The Netherlands. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2001;82:239-45. Objectives: To describe the occupational situation of people with lower limb amputations in The Netherlands and to compare the health experience of working and nonworking amputee patients with a nonimpaired reference population. Design: Cross-sectional study in which patients completed a questionnaire about their job participation, type of job, workplace adjustments to their limb loss, their position in the company, and a general health questionnaire. Setting: Orthopedic workshops in The Netherlands with a population of lower limb amputees. Patients: Subjects were recruited from orthopedic workshops in the Netherlands. They ranged in age from 18 to 60 years (mean, 44.5yr) and had a lower limb amputated at least 2 years (mean, 19.6yr) before this study. Main Outcome Measures: A self-report questionnaire, with 1 part concerning patient characteristics and amputation-related factors, and the other concerning job characteristics, vocational handicaps, work adjustments, and working conditions; and a general health questionnaire (RAND-36) to measure health status. Results: Responses were received from 652 of the 687 patients (response rate, 95%) who were sent the questionnaire. Sixty-four percent of the respondents were working at the time of the study (comparable with the employment rate of the general Dutch population), 31% had work experience but were not presently working, and 5% had no work experience. After their amputations, people shifted to less physically demanding work. The mean delay between the amputation and the return to work was 2.3 years. Many people wished their work was better adjusted to the limitations presented by their disability and they mentioned having problems concerning possibilities for promotion. Seventy-eight percent of those who stopped working within 2 years after the amputation said that amputation-related factors played a role in their decision. Thirty-four percent said that they might have worked longer if certain adjustments had been made. The health experience of people who were no longer working was significantly worse than that of the working people with amputations. Conclusions: Although amputee patients had a relatively good rate of job participation, they reported problems concerning the long delay between amputation and return to work, problems in finding suitable jobs, fewer possibilities for promotion, and problems in obtaining needed workplace modifications. People who had to stop working because of the amputation showed a worse health experience than working people.
