“I actually just really need to stop work sometimes”: Exploring fatigue‐related barriers to employment among people with rheumatic diseases

ConclusionsIndividuals with RDs in employment describe fatigue as playing a substantial role in their experiences at work. This research expands on previous literature addressing barriers to employment in those with RDs by specifically addressing the relevance of fatigue. It is imperative to provide information to employers, and guidelines for employees with an RD who are experiencing fatigue should outline appropriate strategies for success at work.
