ObjectivesTo investigate the role of individual factors (including age, health and personal circumstances) and external factors associated with clients having a job start while engaging with the Work Programme and variations by benefit type.SettingThe UK Government’s main return to work initiative (The Work Programme) in Scotland.DesignPiecewise Poisson regression to calculate incident rate ratios using administrative data from 2013 to 2016 to identify factors associated with job start.Participants4322 Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) clients not in work due to poor health and 8996 Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA) clients, aged 18–64 years, referred to the Work Programme between April 2013 and July 2014.Main outcome measuresStarting a job and the time to first job start after entering the Work Programme.ResultsJSA clients (62%) were more likely to return to work (RTW) than ESA clients (20%). There is a strong negative relationship between age and the predicted probability of having a job start during the 2-year engagement with the programme for both JSA and ESA clients. JSA clients were most likely to RTW in the first 3 months, while for ESA clients the predicted probability of having a first job start was fairly constant over the 2 years. Health, including the number of health conditions, length of unemployment, client perception of job start and other individual factors were associated with job starts for both groups.ConclusionsAge plays an important role in influencing RTW; however, important potentially modifiable factors include the length of unemployment, the management of multimorbidity and the individual’s perception of the likelihood of job start. Future welfare-to-work programmes may be improved by providing age-specific interventions which focus on health and biopsychosocial factors to enable more people to realise the potential health benefits of RTW.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background. Postoperative CABG patients will generally experience improvement in symptoms and functional capacity. Post-CABG patients are expected to be productive again in order to have a positive impact on both patient and the society socio-economically, in addition to other parameters such as morbidity, mortality and serious adverse events. Purpose to determine the factors that associated with return to work in CABG patients in one General Hospital. Methods. We analyzed data from Adam Malik Hospital registry of 68 patients who had undergone CR after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in 2017-2020. The outcomes assessed were work status in 6 month after CABG. Patients’ characteristics, sociodemographic, clinical parameters of functional capacity using 6 minutes of walk test (6MWT), T2DM, Hypertension and cholesterol level were assessed. Factors associated with return to work were identified using multivariable logistic regression. Results We identified 68 patients undergoing isolated CABG (2017–2020). One year after discharge for CABG, 40 (58.8%) patients had returned to the workforce. Factors associated with return to work  were identified using bivariate logistic regression. Diabetes mellitus (odds ratio, 10.192; 95% confidence interval, 0.063–0.515). Conclusion Almost 2 from 3 patients after CABG returned to work within 6 months. Diabetes mellitus and functional capacity were associated with a lower likelihood of returning to work.

Abstract Background A high parenting self-efficacy (PSE) has been associated with positive parenting and positive child development. However, there is limited and inconsistent information on factors associated with PSE. Objective To investigate factors associated with PSE in parents of children aged 0–7 years old, and to explore whether the associations were different between mothers and fathers. Methods We performed a cross-sectional analysis of the baseline data from a prospective cohort study: the CIKEO study. A total of 1012 parents (mean age = 33.8, SD = 5.0) completed self-reported measure of PSE and 18 potential factors associated with PSE. Results Multivariable models revealed that lower parenting stress, fewer child behavior problems, better eating behavior, better parental and child general health, a smaller number of children living in the household, higher perceived level of social support and having a migration background were associated with higher levels of PSE (p < 0.05). The association between family functioning and PSE differed between mothers and fathers (p for interaction = 0.003): with beta and 95% confidence interval being: 1.29 (− 2.05, 0.87), and 0.23 (− 0.46, 3.29), respectively. Conclusions A range of parental, child and social-contextual factors in relation to PSE were identified. The patterns of associations for most of the factors were similar among mothers and fathers. However, the association between family functioning and PSE might differ for mothers and fathers. Our findings are relevant for tailoring and implementing successful interventions and effective policy making in child care. Trial registration Netherlands National Trial Register number NL7342. Date of registration: 05-November-2018, retrospectively registered.

AbstractTotal knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a valuable treatment option for advanced osteoarthritis in patients unresponsive to conservative treatments. Despite overall satisfactory results, the rate of unsatisfied patients after TKA remains high, ranging from 5 to 40%. Different modifiable and nonmodifiable prognostic factors associated with TKA outcomes have been described. The correction, whenever possible, of modifiable factors is fundamental in preoperative patients' optimization protocols. Nonmodifiable factors can help in predicting the outcomes and creating the right expectations in the patients undergoing TKA. The goal of this review is to summarize the modifiable and nonmodifiable prognostic factors associated with TKA outcomes.
