An interventional study of Work-related measures in Stress, Psychological, Burnout, Professional and Adjustment Disorders, sponsored by Vastra Gotaland Region. Completed at 1 site in Sweden. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-06-12.
Sponsored by Vastra Gotaland Region · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The aim of this project is to develop a model for return to work (RTW) for patients sick listed due to stress related mental disorders, which takes into account each patient's specific situation; includes the workplace, and is well adapted to the Swedish primary care setting.
In late 2016, general practitioners (GPs) and rehabilitation coordinators at both public and private primary care centers will be offered a one-day training about work and workability for patients with stress related mental disorders. Also, the participants will be trained in a specific method that includes the patient's employer early in the rehabilitation process
The project has a quasi-experimental and longitudinal design. The intervention will be conducted on 15 different primary care centers, which will be matched with a comparison group. Return to work for 500 patients will be analyzed using registry data, 6, 12 and 18 months after sick-listing. The hypothesis is that patients who are sick-listed at primary care centers that completely or partially implemented the specific method on average will return earlier to work than patients sick-listed at primary care centers that did not implement the method.
Alongside studying if the intervention has an effect on the patients' RTW over time, the investigators aim to investigate the mechanisms explaining the effects and the individual and organizational level (primary care units) circumstances necessary for these mechanisms to be triggered. To gain deeper knowledge about mechanisms and context, the investigators will conduct interviews with the treatment staff and collect registry data about the primary care units.

Exclusion Criteria:
* One-day training for GP:s and rehabilitation coordinators * A treatment protocol which includes contact with the patient's employer * Clinical support from the Institute of Stress Medicine
Behavioral: Work-related measures
After mapping the patient's psychosocial work situation using tools provided at the one-day training, the patient's employer will be contacted and involved in the rehabilitation planning.
Following sick leave data from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency's records we will measure time taken to return to work (RTW) among patients in the intervention group vs. time taken to RTW among patients in the control group.
Time frame: Three measurement time points. First measurement will occur 6 months from baseline.
Following sick leave data from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency's records we will measure time taken to return to work (RTW) among patients in the intervention group vs. time taken to RTW among patients in the control group.
Time frame: Second measurement time point will occur at 12 months from baseline.

Ran from Dec 2016 to primary completion in Jan 2019, 25 months.
Of 128 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Burnout, Professional, half reached primary completion within 11 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 22. This study's 25 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 132 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 23.
