Influence of attitudes toward health care involvement on length of time returning to work post microscopic discectomy surgery
Czarzasty, Nancy Lesnick
The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of individual's attitudes
toward Health Care Involvement on length of time returning to work for post microscopic
discectomy patients. A sample of 20 subjects who had undergone microscopic
discectomy surgery provided the convenience sample for the study.
This study used a correlational design to examine the relationship between the
subject's level of Health Care Involvement and his or her length of time returning to work
after surgery. It was predicted that the subject's length of time returning to work was
predicted to be less if the subject had a high degree of Health Care Involvement.
The findings demonstrated a weak correlation between the concepts of
Information Seeking, Behavioral Involvement and length of time returning to work. In
this study, Behavioral Involvement demonstrated a greater impact on length of time to
return to work than did Information Seeking.
