Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is to measure the reliability and responsiveness of the Chinese version of the readiness for return-to-work (RRTW) scale. We would conduct a multiple-centered, prospective cohort study to require RRTW data in lost-time claimants in outpatient occupational rehabilitation in Taiwan.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Changes of the Readiness for Return-To-Work Scale scores during rehabilitation	Using the RRTW scale changes of the pretest and protest data to calculate the responsiveness.	The participants do the pretest of RRTW scale in the first week in their work hardening program, finishing the protest in the last week before the program ends. The duration depends on people. (In an average of 4-6 weeks)
Secondary	Change from the Readiness for Return-To-Work Scale scores at 1 week	Using the pretest and retest data of the Readiness for Return-To-Work (RRTW) scale to calculate the reliability.	The participants do the pretest of RRTW scale in the first week in their work hardening program, and they do the retest after one week.
