Zusammenfassung:Objective: Analyze the interdisciplinary strategies implemented in the return to work of workers who report occupational illness and/ or work accident. Method: literature review using topics as: “job relocation,” “Return to work”, “Work”, “Strategies” and “Occupational Therapy”, using boolean AND and OR, search for evidence in the databases: ProQuest, EBSCO, PubMed, Embase and Scopus, in the period 2006 -2016. Results: the findings show a selection of 20 items, found mainly in the ProQuest database. The interdisciplinary approach most commonly used is the identification of the requirements of the job and the skills of the worker and WRI (Worker role interview) assessment used by occupational therapy. Conclusions: assessments as return to work strategy focus on skills and physical functions, often they lack the psychosocial, behavioral and environmental impact as determinants of performance and working capacity; which is why using a web-based occupational performance evaluation, occupational therapists would achieve safely and evaluate effective worker’s ability to perform tasks.
