• Individual and occupational correlates of work ability of Polish employees with visual impairments (2026) · International Journal of Occupational Medicine and Environmental Health · doi

  Several limitations of the study should be acknowledged. Due to its cross-sectional design, the study does not allow for causal inferences, limiting the authors’ ability to determine the directionality of observed relationships. The relatively small sample size restricts the generalizability of the findings and prevents subgroup analyses, such as comparisons between the blind and partially sighted participants or between different combinations of co-occurring conditions. Additionally, the  reliance on self-reported data introduces the  possibility of response bias. However, the study also has notable strengths. This study is the first in Poland and one of the few worldwide to explore the work ability of employees with visual impairments offering novel insights into a neglected area of occupational health research. The use of an online survey tailored to the needs of respondents with visual impairments made it possible to reach a population group that is usually underrepresented and difficult to access, thereby increasing the inclusiveness of the research. The statistical model applied was appropriate for the available data and allowed for the  identification of significant predictors of WAI. These findings lay the groundwork for future longitudinal and intervention studies aimed at understanding the complex interplay between different types of disabilities and employment outcomes, and at developing tailored support strategies for individuals with multi-morbidity in the workplace.
