*4.2. The Current State of Information from Findings*

This study examined the effectiveness of a return to work (RTW) program for individuals with occupational injuries during the pandemic in Indonesia and provides insights into the support and resources available to disabled workers during this challenging time. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of its kind to assess the quality of life (QOL) and work ability index (WAI) among disabled workers who participated in a RTW program during this time.

Our findings suggest that the RTW program was effective in improving the QOL and WAI scores for participants, indicating that it was successful in supporting disabled workers to return to work and maintaining their ability to work during the pandemic. These results have important implications for policy and practice in supporting disabled workers during challenging times such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
