Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Job retention and sick leave days.
Secondary outcome
Self-efficacy, work adjustments, quality of work including work stress and fatigue.
Background summary
A growing number of employees have a chronic condition and some of them quit the labour market prematurely. Vocational rehabilitation interventions might have helped them to stay at work. This project
concerns the development and evaluation of a training aimed at employees with chronic diseases which will help them to solve practical and psychosocial problems which they encounter at work and which are related to their chronic condition. Main outcome measures are job retention, self-efficacy, work accommodations, and satisfaction with the training.
Study objective
It is hypothesised that participation in the training programme aimed at increasing self-efficacy, establishing work adjustments and improving quality of work, will result in better job retention and fewer sick leave days.
Intervention
Employees in the intervention group will participate in a group training programme which will involve six sessions. The training programme will be executed by an trained therapist assisted by experts. Employees in the control group will receive care as usual.
