Expectancies mediate the relationship between perceived injustice and return to work following whiplash injury: A 1-year prospective study

摘要

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that perceived injustice is a risk factor for work disability in individuals with whiplash injury. At present, however, little is known about the processes by which perceived injustice impacts on return to work. The purpose of this study was to examine whether expectancies mediated the relationship between perceived injustice and return to work in patients with whiplash injury.
