Summary

This study tested a web application called PRATICAdr 2.0, designed to help healthcare workers on sick leave due to common mental disorders like depression or anxiety return to work. The app helps coordinators track progress and improve communication. Researchers compared workers who used the app plus usual support to those who only got usual support, measuring how long sick leave lasted and whether relapses occurred.
