摘要

本研究利用問卷調查的方式探討影響手部外傷勞工重返工作之因素。總共寄發3000 份問卷，問卷回收率爲20.9%。其中554位(88.5%)手部外傷勞工接受調查時有在從事工作。逐步對數迴歸分析顯示：年齡、受傷前是否從事全職性工作、受傷後有沒有接受其他賠償金、受傷後有沒有接受醫療復健、身體功能是否有障礙、以及性別等六個因素為預測手部外傷勞工重返工作之最佳因子。在問卷調查時，大多數有在從事工作的受傷勞工述說其重返工作之主要理由爲「經濟上的需求」；而未就業之受傷勞工其沒有從事工作的主要理由爲「找不到適合的工作」及「無法勝任工作」。受傷勞工離開原來公司的主要理由為「害怕再受傷」。本研究結果顯示：影響手部外傷勞工重返工作之因素包括生理、社會及個人特性。爲了讓手部外傷勞工能够得到更完善之醫療或復健服務，在治療或復健手部外傷勞工時，應該同時考慮其生理、社會、及個人因素對於重返工作之影響。

The purpose of this study was to determine factors influencing the return-to-work status among the occupational hand injured workers. Questionnaires were mailed to 3000 workers with occupational hand injuries. The response rate was 20.9%. Five hundred fifty-four injured workers (88.5%) reported returning to work by the time of survey. Factors influencing return-to-work status were compared using step wise forward logistic regression. The results indicated that work status before injuries, age, sex, disabled status, whether receiving compensation other than the compensation from the government, and whether receiving rehabilitation services after injuries were significant factors influencing return-to-work status after occupational hand injuries. Most of the occupational hand injured workers reported that the financial need was the major reason why they returned to work after injuries. Unable to find a competent job and unable to perform any job were both the major reasons why the injured workers did not return to work. Most of the injured workers (48.4%) leaving their previous job by reason of being afraid of reinjury. These results suggested that it is important to consider physical, social, and personal factors while planning rehabilitation and treatment services for occupational hand injured workers.
