*2.1. Study Setting*

This descriptive cross-sectional study measured the QoL and WAI of workers with disabilities after participating in the RTW program. This study was conducted between January and June 2021, identifying the claims for RTW during the outbreak of COVID-19 in Indonesia. Workers who had been registered as customers with the Indonesian National Social Security Agency for Employment (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan) were recruited for participation in this study.

The participants in the study were separated into two groups, RTW and non-RTW, based on their participation in the return to work (RTW) program after receiving workers' compensation benefits from BPJS Ketenagakerjaan. The RTW group consisted of individuals who took part in the program, while the non-RTW group consisted of those who did not. This division aimed to examine the effect of participating in the RTW program on the individuals and compare it to those who did not participate. To be eligible for this study, individuals had to be between 18 and 65 years old, employed during the COVID-19 outbreak, and engaged in the RTW program.
