Regression analyses explored relationships between employers' demographic/contextual characteristics and knowledge and perceived competency scores. Interviews with employers explored factors influencing their post-stroke RTW support. Interview data were analyzed using a framework analysis. Survey/interview findings were synthesized with those from a qualitative systematic review.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Across the survey (<i>n</i> = 50), interviews (<i>n</i> = 7), and review (25 studies), employers' support was influenced by stroke survivors' decisions to disclose stroke-related limitations, employers' knowledge regarding roles/responsibilities, employers' communication skills, and information provided by healthcare. Regression analyses: Human resources/occupational health support was positively associated with stroke knowledge (ß = 2.30, 95% CI 0.36-4.41, <i>p</i> = 0.013) and RTW process knowledge (ß = 5.12, 95% CI 1.80-6.87, <i>p</i> = 0.001). Post-stroke RTW experience was positively associated with stroke knowledge (ß = 1.36, 95% CI 0.46-2.26, <i>p</i> = 0.004) and perceived competency (ß = 31.13, 95% CI 18.40-44.76, <i>p</i> = 0.001). Organization size (i.e. working in a larger organization) was positively associated with RTW process knowledge (ß = 2.96, 95% CI 1.52-4.36, <i>p</i> = <.001).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Employers' RTW support was influenced by personal and environmental factors; they may benefit from education and guidance on stroke and their roles/responsibilities during the RTW process.</p>","PeriodicalId":23164,"journal":{"name":"Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation","volume":" ","pages":"392-404"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142372849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
