Social Rehabilitation and return to work after cardiac transplantation--a multicenter survey.
Transplantation, 1992Co-Authors: Wayne Paris, Woodbury A, Thompson S, Levick M, Nothegger S, Hutkin-slade L, Arbuckle P, David K. C. CooperAbstract:As the medical results of heart transplantation steadily improve, the Social Rehabilitation of patients, in particular, their ability to return to some form of employment, is becoming increasingly important. Two-hundred fifty patients were therefore surveyed at 7 heart transplant centers (5 of which were Medicare certified) from different geographic regions in the U.S.A. Over all, 45% were employed, 36% were unemployed, 13% were medically disabled, and 6% were retired. Of those employed, 87% had returned to their previous employment, and only 13% had secured new employment. Of the unemployed, 16% had made job applications, and no fewer than 63% had no current plan to seek employment. Factors found to negatively influence a return to work included the following: (1) length of medical disability prior to transplantation; (2) a patient's self-perception of being physically unable to work; and (3) the potential loss of health insurance and/or disability income. At 2 centers, where there was a definite policy of not supporting a patient's claim for medical disability in the absence of an absolute indication, there were significantly increased numbers who (1) secured new employment and (2) planned to seek employment. More serious attention must be paid to aspects of employment if heart transplant recipients are to become fully productive members of the community.

Visual results and Social Rehabilitation after cataract surgery. A retrospective comparison of the effect of non-IOL and IOL surgery.
Acta ophthalmologica, 2009Co-Authors: Ilkka Immonen, Risto Tuominen, Ilkka RaivioAbstract:This report examines the changes that occurred in the post-operative visual and Social function of patients with cataract when the hospital responsible for cataract treatment (roughly 1000 cataract extractions per year) shifted from non-IOL to IOL techniques. Visual function and vision-dependent Social performance were compared retrospectively in 116 patients, 53 of whom had undergone cataract extraction without IOL implantation, and 63 of whom had been treated by IOL implantation. Patients with no IOL had the possibility of using extended-wear contact lenses if unable to tolerate aphakic spectacles. Visual results and Social Rehabilitation were good with both techniques, and there was no significant difference in vision-dependent Social performance between the groups. The quality of vision and patient satisfaction with surgery were better in IOL patients. It appears that, once vision is restored by surgery and contact lenses are available, post-operative function in patients is determined by factors other than the type of cataract surgery. However, the shift to IOL surgery brings about improved quality of vision and patient satisfaction. -
