Clinical Trial Summary
The study aims to evaluate the effect on return to work of a workplace intervention with
patients being treated for burnout. The intervention intends to reduce job-person mismatch
through patient-supervisor communication.The hypothesis is that the intervention group will
show a more favourable outcome than a control group with respect to return to work.
Description:
Participants are consecutively recruited in co-operation with regional social insurance
offices (RSIOs) in the two southern counties of Sweden. Persons accepting participation are
clinically examined and interviewed of the course of events leading up to the burnout and the
patient's expectations of changes necessary to facilitate return to work are recorded. The
patient´s supervisor is then interviewed at the workplace, responding to the same questions
on perceived main causes of the subordinate's sick leave and changes necessary to facilitate
return to work. Finally, the core intervention takes place, namely a dialogue being initiated
between the patient and the supervisor to find solutions to facilitate return to work. Out of
those who do not want to participate, without giving any specific reason for that, a control
group is matched by length and degree of sick leave at the time of the intervention.
