Purpose
This project evaluates the outcomes of a work rehabilitation program, Redesigning Daily Occupations (ReDO), for women with stress-related disorders. The ReDO intervention focuses on how people compose their everyday lives. The basic idea is that re-structuring of an individual's lifestyle and pattern of daily occupations will lead to a healthier balance between the occupations of everyday life, and that this balance will promote wellness and increased work capacity. The program is group based and comprises 16 weeks.
The aim is to evaluate ReDO for women with stress-related disorders. The project, which covers the time period from entering the program to a 12-month follow-up, is a quasi-experimental study. 42 women who entered the program and fitted the selection criteria were included. A matched comparison group was selected among those clients at the Social Insurance Office who get "care-as-usual" (CAU). Both groups are followed prospectively and are compared regarding return to work, sick leave, and different aspects of health and well-being. The hypothesis is that the ReDO group will improve more than the CAU group in all these respects.

Experimental: Redesigning Daily Occupations
The ReDO intervention focuses on how people compose their everyday lives. Supporting people in how to change and modify their patterns of daily occupations is a new intervention method for people with stress-related disorders, but it has been shown to be effective in improving quality of life and self-rated health in other target groups. The basic idea is that re-structuring of an individual's lifestyle and pattern of daily occupations will lead to a healthier balance between the occupations of everyday life, and that this balance will promote wellness and improved work capacity. The program is group based and comprises 16 weeks, with sessions 2 x 2 hours per week, followed by 3-4 booster sessions.

Behavioral: Redesigning Daily Occupations
The ReDO is a 16-week group-based programme, comprising three phases. Phase I covers five weeks and has a special focus on occupational self-analysis, while Phase II, also comprising five weeks, is concentrated around goal setting and strategies for accomplishing desired changes in the patterns of everyday activities. During these ten weeks the group meets twice a week and each session lasts for 2½ hrs. Phase III consists of work placement for six weeks, if possible in relation to the woman's ordinary work but otherwise at another relevant work place. During Phase III the group meets three times (weeks two, four and six) in order to monitor the group placement. The groups are led by two licensed occupational therapists specifically trained for the ReDO programme.

Active Comparator: Care as usual
Standard rehabilitation provided by the Social Insurance Office, such as stress management, physical therapy, mindfulness training.
|
Other: Care as usual
The CAU group gets follow-ups by an officer at the Social Insurance Office, including contacts with the employer, but the additional support varies largely, from receiving relevant medical care, if any, to physical therapy and to more comprehensive rehabilitation programmes.

Detailed Description:
This project is about developing and evaluating a novel work rehabilitation program, Redesigning Daily Occupations (ReDO), for women with stress-related disorders. It is a co-operation project between Lund University, the Social Insurance Office, and the health care services of the County of Halland. The ReDO intervention focuses on how people compose their everyday lives. Supporting people in how to change and modify their patterns of daily occupations is a new intervention method for people with stress-related disorders, but it has been shown to be effective in improving quality of life and self-rated health in other target groups. The basic idea is that re-structuring of an individual's lifestyle and pattern of daily occupations will lead to a healthier balance between the occupations of everyday life, and that this balance will promote wellness and increased work capacity. The program is group based and comprises 16 weeks, with sessions 2 x 2 hours per week, followed by 3-4 booster sessions.
The aim of the research project is to evaluate the outcomes of ReDO for women with stress-related disorders. The hypothesis is that the ReDO group will improve more than a comparison group receiving "care-as-usual" (CAU) regarding return to work, sick leave, and different aspects of health and well-being. group in all these respects.
The project is a quasi-experimental study. It covers the time period from entering the program to a 12-month follow-up. According to initial plans, the first 50 women who entered the ReDO program and fitted the selection criteria would be included. A power analysis indicated that 40 individuals in each group were needed to detect a medium effect size (of 0.6) with 80% power at p<.05. Forty-two women were actually recruited to the ReDO intervention. A matched comparison group was selected among those clients at the Social Insurance Office who get (CAU). The match was made on specific diagnosis, age, family situation (civil status and number of children), type of occupation and duration of sick leave. Thus, in all 84 women take part in the project. The data consist of registry information from the Social Insurance Office (SIO) and questionnaires targeting socio-demographics, perceived stress, and different aspects of health and well-being.
