What they look for in a job: ability to shine, make a contribution, fit in with company's mission, team approach.
Symptoms of pain (VAS and FIQ), feeling well, job ability, fatigue, morning tiredness, stiffness, anxiety and depression were statically different among the groups.
Individuals with NP had significantly less impairment, as compared to the other groups, in several domains including working for job ability, pain, fatigue, morning tiredness, stiffness and depression.
Each of the last seven questions (job ability, pain, fatigue, morning tiredness, stiffness, anxiety and depression) is measured on a VAS.
It consists of 19 subscales assessing physical function, number of days feeling bad, work missed, job ability, pain, fatigue, morning tiredness, stiffness, anxiety and depression.
Finally, the last seven questions (job ability, pain, fatigue, morning tiredness, stiffness, anxiety and depression) are measured by a visual analogue scale (VAS).
Finally, the last seven questions (job ability, pain, fatigue, morning tiredness, stiffness, anxiety, and depression) are measured with a visual analogue scale (VAS).
Two subscales of the FIQ total score were omitted here (Work missed and Job ability); thus an eight-item total score of the FIQ was applied in the study.
As expected, the FAS index had more significant correlations with total FIQ (rho = 0.347; P < 0.0001) and the FIQ sub-scales, particularly job ability fatigue (rho = 0.534; P < 0.0001), fatigue (rho = 0.379; P < 0.0001), morning tiredness (rho = 0.309; P < 0.0001), and pain (rho = 0.303; P < 0.0001) (convergent construct validity; Table 3).
