IntroductionThe world’s population is rapidly ageing, and health among older people is thus an important issue. Several previous studies have reported an association between adverse psychosocial factors at work before retirement and postretirement health. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to examine the association between psychosocial factors at work and health outcomes after retirement, based on a synthesis of well-designed prospective studies.Methods and analysisThe participants, exposures, comparisons and outcomes of the studies in this systematic review and meta-analysis are defined as follows: (P) people who have retired from their job, (E) presence of adverse psychosocial factors at work before retirement, (C) absence of adverse psychosocial factors at work before retirement and (O) any physical and mental health outcomes after retirement. Published studies were searched using the following electronic databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES and Japan Medical Abstracts Society. The included studies will be statistically synthesised in a meta-analysis to estimate pooled coefficients and 95% CIs. The quality of each included study will be assessed using the Risk Of Bias In Non-randomised Studies-of Interventions. For the assessment of meta-bias, publication bias will be assessed by using Egger’s test, as well as visually on a funnel plot. Heterogeneity will be assessed using the χ² test with Cochran’s Q statistic and I2.Ethics and disseminationResults and findings will be submitted and published in a scientific peer-reviewed journal and will be disseminated broadly to researchers and policy-makers interested in the translatability of scientific evidence into good practices.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42018099043.

Background: In 2007, the Health and Disability Strategy Group (HDSG) of the TAC and Victorian WorkCover Authority recognised an opportunity to improve scheme outcomes by working more closely with health disciplines. To investigate whether this was feasible, a pilot program was proposed with a select group of physiotherapists. Objectives: To determine whether a network of physiotherapists who were provided with training, monitoring and support could achieve improved outcome in return to work and health outcomes.Method: In 2008, 92 physiotherapists undertook a select tender process and then completed training in return to work, the HDSG's Clinical Framework and familiarisation of the compensation system for work related and motor accident injuries. The outcomes of this network physiotherapist program were evaluated internally and by three independent research organisations to determine 1) impact on return to work, 2) impact on health outcomes, 3) patient satisfaction and 4) satisfaction of the physiotherapist providing the service. Results: When compared to non-network physiotherapist, the network physiotherapists demonstrated improved return to work for clients, better health outcomes, and greater patient satisfaction. Therapist satisfaction was also higher within the network physiotherapists.Discussion: This body of work conducted on a pilot group of physiotherapists demonstrates improved outcomes in a number of important domains for the management of worker's and motor accident injuries. It indicates that there is a benefit for schemes in supporting clinical programs. Current evidence suggests that compensable patients have worse health outcomes than their non-compensable counterparts. There is a need to promote programs that are beneficial to patients, compensable schemes and providers. Further investigation is required to demonstrate this benefit on a larger scale.Conclusions: This study indicates that there may be opportunities to improve health outcomes by investment from compensable bodies in training, support and monitoring of specific health disciplines.
