Sammanfattning
To make rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders effective it is crucial to identify circumstances that tend to support the persistence of sickness absence. Multiple regression analysis indicated that long-term sickness absence was largely associated with work conditions rather than with individual characteristics. Therefor, the results underscore the importance not only of treating the individual with musculoskeletal disorders, but in particular of improving his or her work conditions.
