Summary

This study tested two programs for people on sick leave due to burnout, adjustment disorder, or stress: one offering mental health care step-by-step, and another combining that with job support. Over 600 participants from four Danish municipalities took part. The goal was to see if these programs help people return to work faster and stay employed.

What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help people with stress-related sick leave return to work faster and more sustainably.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study, but results may not apply outside Denmark or to all types of stress-related conditions. The interventions are complex and may be hard to replicate in other settings.
