Patients With Type B Aortic Dissection Returning to Work After Discharge：a Cross-sectional Survey

Recruiting

• Conditions: Return to Work; Type B Aortic Dissection
• Interventions: Other: return to work

• Registration Number: NCT06418828
• Lead Sponsor: Fujian Medical University Union Hospital

Brief Summary

This study wants to understand the incidence of returning to work after discharge in patients with type B aortic dissection.

Detailed Description

The incidence of aortic dissection in China is increasing year by year. According to the latest research report, the annual incidence of aortic dissection in China is 5 \~ 10 / 100,000, the average age of patients is 51.8 years old, and the age of disease is about 10 years younger than that of European and American countries. RTW after discharge is a measure of disease recovery and recovery to normal state. There are only reports on RTW after discharge in the fields of cancer, stroke, organ transplantation, maintenance peritoneal dialysis and so on. Most of the existing literature in the cardiovascular field at home and abroad focuses on assessing the status of RTW and RRTW after discharge. Up to now, there is still a lack of research on the promotion and hindrance factors of RTW in TBAD patients, the status survey of post-RTW work ability and the related nomogram prediction model. Therefore, based on the Meleis transformation theory, this study aims to investigate the current status of return to work of TBAD patients at 6 months after discharge through quantitative and qualitative research, and to explore its influencing factors in depth. Based on the previous results, the RTW visual prediction model of TBAD patients was constructed, which provided a theoretical basis for the formulation and implementation of early intervention by medical staff, and further improved the research in this field.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Return to work group	return to work	Asked whether the patient returned to work, if the patient returned to work, included in this group.
Non-return to work group	return to work	Ask whether the patient returned to work, if the patient did not return to work, included in this group.
