Key result
High self-efficacy, longer work hours, obesity, and no stroke predict return-to-work, reaching ~82% at 6 months.
Why the study?
The trajectory and determinants of return-to-work among young and middle-aged acute myocardial infarction survivors within 6 months post-discharge in China remained to be investigated.
What are the trajectory and determinants of return-to-work among young and middle-aged AMI survivors within 6 months post-discharge?

What are the trajectory and determinants of return-to-work among young and middle-aged AMI survivors within 6 months post-discharge?
High return-to-work self-efficacy is a key modifiable determinant for returning to work after AMI, suggesting targeted interventions could improve sustained employment in young and middle-aged survivors.

Qiao et al. (2026) conducted a cohort in acute myocardial infarction (n=130). Sociodemographic, clinical, psychological, and work-related factors was evaluated on return-to-work. High self-efficacy, longer pre-hospitalization working hours, obesity, and no stroke history significantly predicted return-to-work, which reached 82.3% at 6 months post-discharge.
