There was strong evidence that duration away from work from both MSK or pain-related conditions and MH conditions were significantly reduced by multi-domain interventions encompassing at least two of the three domains .
There was moderate evidence that these multi-domain interventions had a positive impact on cost outcomes .
There was strong evidence that cognitive behavioural therapy interventions that do not also include workplace modifications or service coordination components are not effective in helping workers with MH conditions in RTW .
Evidence for the effectiveness of other single-domain interventions was mixed , with some studies reporting positive effects and others reporting no effects on lost time and work functioning .
Purpose The objective of this systematic review was to synthesize evidence on the effectiveness of workplace-based return-to-work ( RTW ) interventions and work disability management ( DM ) interventions that assist workers with musculoskeletal ( MSK ) and pain-related conditions and mental health ( MH ) conditions with RTW .
Collaborative care for major depressive disorder in an occupational healthcare setting.
R and omised controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of collaborative care in a Dutch occupational healthcare setting : 126 workers on sick leave with major depressive disorder were r and omised to usual care ( n = 61 ) or collaborative care ( n = 65 ) . After 3 months , collaborative care was more effective on the primary outcome measure of treatment response ( i.e. reduction in symptoms of ≥50 % ) on the Patient Health Question naire-9 ( PHQ-9 ) . However , the groups did not differ on the PHQ-9 as a continuous outcome measure . Implication s of these results are discussed
