[Readaptation to work after myocardial infarction: model considerations].
In Poland only 50-60% of persons who have experienced myocardial infarction return to work. Bearing in mind that psychophysical condition changes after such an event, this group of people has to be readapted to work. Factors that determine good work performance among post-infarction workers have been not yet investigated. The aim of our study is to identify those factors and to define their role in the readaptation process. The first stage of our project involved the development of a theoretical model of readaptation to work after myocardial infarction. This model is described in this paper. It comprises the following components: medical evaluation of the workers' health status, his or her subjective assessment of work ability, expectations (optimistic vs. pessimistic attitude), motivation to work, social support, and job characteristics.
