Abstract
The cost of work-related musculoskeletal injuries to industry and to society as a whole is discussed. Literature concerning the means by which psychological variables interact and have an affect on rehabilitation from such injuries is also reviewed. Research supporting the necessity for gauging the presence of such psychological variables and the need for a multidisciplinary treatment modality to assist in a successful treatment outcome is presented. The current research: 1. Developed norms for an occupational health population based on length of time since the original complaint of injury (Less than l month, 1-3 months, 3-6 months and more than 6 months) for each of the genders. 2. Compared each of the groups identified above to determine the presence of statistical differences among the groups, supporting the theory that increased elevations of SCL-90 scores occur over the passage of time. 3. Examined self-reported job satisfaction and ability to work in relation to SCL-90 elevations. It was hypothesized that, as the above decrease, SCL-90 scores will increase. overwhelming support was shown for all three hypotheses examined, lending strong support to the need for early intervention with occupational health populations in order to prevent further problems which previous research has shown to develop over time.
