Abstract

Objective: A workers' compensation claim may have significant negative impacts on an injured worker's wellbeing. Wellbeing provides a good global measure of potential effects of a claim on an individual, and is important for contemporary economic modelling. The purpose of this study was to synthesize knowledge about the wellbeing of injured workers after the finalization of a workers' compensation claim and identify gaps in the current literature.

Methods: A systematic scoping review was conducted.

Results: 71 full-text articles were screened for inclusion, with 32 articles eligible for this review. None of the included articles evaluated overall wellbeing. Included articles did evaluate a variety of constructs inherent in wellbeing. Injured workers were generally disadvantaged in some manner following claim finalization. The literature recommends a focus on reducing negative impacts on injured workers after finalization of a compensation claim, with a need for regulatory bodies to review policy in this area.

Conclusion: There appears to be potential for ongoing burden for individuals, employers, and society after finalization of a workers' compensation claim. A gap in knowledge exists regarding the specific evaluation of wellbeing of injured workers following finalization of a workers' compensation claim.

工伤索赔终结后的福祉：系统性范围界定审查。

目的：工伤索赔可能会对受伤工人的福利产生重大负面影响。福祉是衡量索赔对个人潜在影响的一个良好的全面指标，对当代经济建模非常重要。本研究的目的是综合工伤索赔结束后工伤工人福利方面的知识，并找出当前文献中的不足之处：方法：进行系统的范围界定审查：结果：筛选出 71 篇全文文章，其中 32 篇符合本次综述的要求。纳入的文章中没有一篇对整体健康进行评估。纳入的文章确实评估了幸福感的各种内在因素。受伤工人在理赔结束后一般都会在某些方面处于不利地位。文献建议重点关注在最终确定赔偿要求后减少对受伤工人的负面影响，监管机构需要审查这方面的政策：结论：在工伤索赔最终确定后，个人、雇主和社会似乎有可能持续承受负担。在工伤索赔终结后对工伤工人福利的具体评估方面存在知识空白。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Occupational Rehabilitation is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed original papers on the rehabilitation, reintegration, and prevention of disability in workers. The journal offers investigations involving original data collection and research synthesis (i.e., scoping reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses). Papers derive from a broad array of fields including rehabilitation medicine, physical and occupational therapy, health psychology and psychiatry, orthopedics, oncology, occupational and insurance medicine, neurology, social work, ergonomics, biomedical engineering, health economics, rehabilitation engineering, business administration and management, and law. A single interdisciplinary source for information on work disability rehabilitation, the Journal of Occupational Rehabilitation helps to advance the scientific understanding, management, and prevention of work disability.
