Cerebro-vascular disease (CVD) is the third leading cause of death and the first cause of discapacity in adults, resulting in deficiencies and limitations that disrupt the personal, familiar, social and professional roles. At the Clínica Universidad de La Sabana an interdisciplinary rehabilitation process (PIR ®) has been developed, this process aims to improve functionality and quality of life of patients and their families, to facilitate the return to a functional and productive life for the patient.
Objetive:
To describe the sociodemographic, clinical, rehabilitation and occupational characteristics, and the return to work process in patients with CVD, who assisted to PIR®at the Clínica Universidad de La Sabana, between January 2007 and june of 2011.
Methods:
Descriptive study, a clinical case series, 160 patients listed at the evaluation Board, 71 were excluded, 89 met inclusion and exclusion criteria in the clinical history review, 14 did not answer phone call, and 6 died.
Results: 69 patients were included, 70.9% under 70 years old, 50.7% were men, 53.6% had a superior educational level, 68.1% had ischemic CVD, 63.8% had compromise of medial cerebral artery. The 40.5% returned to the same company, 37.6% to the same laboral rol, 8.7% needed final job relocation, 1.4% labor reconversion. The most frecuent free time activities were family, leisure and home.
Conclusion:
More than one third of the patients returned to the same company and job after the event, none required temporary job relocation, a low percentage needed final redeployment and labor reconversion. More studies are needed on CVD and occupational reintegration.
