Barriers to return-to-work for contact dermatitis patients include ongoing symptoms, job safety, and workplace attitudes. Addressing these challenges can improve return-to-work outcomes for affected workers.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Dermatology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Limited data exists on return-to-work (RTW) barriers for contact dermatitis patients.
  • Contact dermatitis poses unique challenges for workers seeking to return to their jobs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify perceived barriers to RTW for workers with contact dermatitis.
  • To gather insights from occupational health and safety stakeholders.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was conducted at an occupational health and safety research conference.
  • Attendees (n=21) reviewed images of contact dermatitis and listed key RTW barriers.

Main Results:

  • Top barriers included: concern of ongoing dermatitis, ability to perform job safely, appearance, accommodation, personal protective equipment, fear of contagion, workplace attitudes, and pain.
