Effective return-to-work interventions after acquired XXXX : A systematic review.

@entity1 @entity130 @entity15285 @entity1545
OBJECTIVE: To gather knowledge about effective return-to-work (RTW) interventions for @entity1 with acquired @entity1545 (ABI). METHODS: A database search was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL and the Cochrane Library using keywords and Medical Subject Headings. Studies were included if they met inclusion criteria: adult @entity1 with non-progressive ABI, working @entity130 and an intervention principally designed to improve RTW as an outcome. The methodological quality of included studies was determined and evidence was assessed qualitatively. RESULTS: Twelve studies were included, of which five were randomized controlled trials and seven were cohort studies. Nine studies had sufficient methodological quality. There is strong evidence that work-directed interventions in combination with education/ @entity15285 are effective regarding RTW and there are indicative findings for the effectiveness of work-directed interventions in combination with skills training and education/ @entity15285 . Reported components of the most effective interventions were tailored approach, early intervention, involvement of @entity1 and employer, work or workplace accommodations, work practice and training of social and work-related skills, including coping and emotional support. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS: Effective RTW interventions for @entity1 with ABI are a combination of work-directed interventions, @entity15285 /education and/or skills training. These interventions have the potential to facilitate sustained RTW for @entity1 with ABI.
