Self-efficacy mediates the relation between fear-avoidance beliefs and subjective wellbeing in injured workers (Unpublished).

Rehabilitation after an injury is a complex problem. Pain is often persistent in accident victims and affects rehabilitation as well as subjective wellbeing. There is growing evidence for a strong relationship between fear-avoidance-beliefs and pain in injured persons. However, the role of individual resources such as self-efficacy or accidental factors as work or leisure-time accident remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of these variables on subjective wellbeing 18 months post-injury. In a longitudinal design 340 injured workers were investigated at 4 to 6 months, 12 months and 18 months post-injury. We found that self-efficacy mediates the relationship between baseline fear-avoidance-beliefs about physical activity and subjective wellbeing. No effect of accident type was detected. We conclude that self-efficacy seem to be important for managing the impact of an accidental injury and therefore early detection and training of low self-efficacy could be beneficial for the individual long-term rehabilitation processes.
