简要总结
The objective of the Back on Track study is to evaluate a computer-assisted reintegration protocol for musculoskeletal disorders of a major occupational health service in the Netherlands on its (cost-)effectiveness and conduct a process evaluation. The computer-assisted reintegration protocol aims to reduce sick leave duration and sick-leave associated costs, with the intention to mitigate the impact of sick leave for both employee and employer. Furthermore, this study might provide valuable insights for the improvement of reintegration guidance for workers with musculoskeletal disorders in general.
详细描述
The objective of the Back on Track study is to evaluate a computer-assisted reintegration protocol for musculoskeletal disorders of a major occupational health service in the Netherlands on its (cost-)effectiveness and conduct a process evaluation. This protocol is characterized by an evidence-based, early, intensive and multidisciplinary approach. A non-randomized controlled study will compare employees on sick leave due to musculoskeletal complaints who are at high risk of long-term sick leave and receive care based on the computer-assisted reintegration protocol (n = 70) with employees receiving usual care (n = 70). The primary outcome will be time until full return to work. Secondary outcomes will include time until partial return to work , full and partial return to work (yes/no), way of return to work (at the own job/company, with our without adjustments), work ability, work productivity, pain, self-reported health and health-related quality of life. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires at baseline and after three, six, nine and 12 months. Furthermore, data will be obtained from the occupational health service's register. Alongside the effectiveness study, economic and process evaluations will be conducted.
