Abstract

Background In the vocational rehabilitation of injured workers the influence of the workers personality has been neglected This is despite there being substantial evidence that in chronic pain certain personality factors are significantly related to poorer outcomes This is a preliminary study that has examined the relationship between personality factors personality psychopathology and rehabilitation outcomes in injured workers Method Data from structured clinical interviews self report and rehabilitation outcome cost were gathered from 36 injured workers with recognized compensation claims for physical and/or psychological workplace injury Results Personality factors were associated with poorer outcome particularly cost and health Individuals with extreme personality traits experienced poorer health and vocational rehabilitation outcomes The combination of high Neuroticism and low Extraversion which is a pattern often characterized as anxious and socially avoidant was found to be consistently related to poor health outcomes Conclusions The results indicate that considering the type of personality characteristics of injured workers may have important theoretical and practical implications
