The primary objective of this study was to examine whether recovery expectancies mediate the relation between depression and return-to-work (RTW) status in individuals with WRMDs. Methods A sample of 109 patients with WRMDs were recruited from 1 of 6 primary care physiotherapy clinics. Participants completed measures of pain severity, depression and recovery expectancies. RTW status was assessed by telephone interview 1year after the initial assessment. Results Consistent with previous research, more severe depressive symptoms and lower recovery expectancies were associated with a lower probability of RTW. Logistic regression analyses revealed that recovery expectancies completely mediated the relation between depression and RTW status at 1-year follow-up. Conclusion The results suggest that interventions specifically targeting recovery expectancies in individuals with WRMDs and depressive symptoms might improve RTW outcomes.
