简要总结
When treating stress-related conditions, it is important to understand how health and work ability develop over the long term. In our research project, we aim, firstly, to investigate how health and work ability develop over the three years following inpatient treatment, and, secondly, to identify the factors that influence a return to work and work ability. Former inpatients undergoing treatment for stress-related disorders who took part in the HARMODI-study will be invited to complete online questionnaires up to three years after their discharge from the clinic. The online questionnaires contain questions regarding current work ability, mental and physical health as well as the process of return to work after discharge.
详细描述
Burnout and depression are associated with substantial personal suffering as well as high societal and economic costs due to prolonged sick leave and reduced productivity. While inpatient multimodal treatment is effective in reducing symptoms at discharge, less is known about long-term mental and physical health, occupational functioning, and return to work (RTW). Existing evidence suggests that mental and physical health generally improve following treatment, but nevertheless symptoms often persist in the long term. Moreover, there is limited evidence on RTW after inpatient treatment, particularly regarding long-term trajectories and relapse. A better understanding of predictive indicators of work ability and RTW after treatment is therefore required.
To address this gap, this follow-up study of the HARMODI cohort aims to investigate psychophysiological health, work ability, and RTW up to three years after treatment at the Clinica Holistica Engiadina. By combining self-reported outcomes with previously assessed post-treatment cardiorespiratory fitness, HRV, and cognitive function, this study provides a comprehensive perspective on long-term recovery. The findings aim to inform the optimization of treatment programs and support public health policymaking.
This study is a monocentric retrospective longitudinal exploratory cohort study conducted at the Clinica Holistica Engiadina.Questionnaire data on psychophysiological health, RTW, and work ability will be assessed from former study participants of the HARMODI study (No. 2022-01871) up to three years after discharge from inpatient treatment. In addition, existing data from the HARMODI study will be used to investigate potential associations between time to RTW and post-treatment changes in depression severity, cardiorespiratory fitness, HRV, and cognitive function.
All former HARMODI participants who did not withdraw informed consent will be invited to comple online questionnaires up to three years after their discharge from the clinic.

研究组 & 干预措施
former participants of the HARMODI cohort
The study population consists of former participants of the HARMODI study who underwent inpatient treatment for stress-related disorders at the Clinica Holistica Engiadina. HARMODI participants were diagnosed with either a depressive disorder or an adjustment disorder and provieded a burnout syndrome.
结局指标
主要结局
Time to Return to Work (RTW)
时间窗: From discharge from inpatient treatment until the first documented partial, respectively full RTW, assessed up to 40 months.
Primary endpoint will be time to RTW, assessed as the number of days between discharge from inpatient treatment and the first documented partial, respectively full RTW, assessed up to 40 months. Partial RTW is defined as returning to any occupational position with reduced working hours. Full RTW is defined as resuming the originally contractually agreed workload that was held prior to admission to the clinic.
次要结局
- Trajectories of work ability(Retrospective rating at follow-up: work ability from one up to 25 months after discharge from the clinic)
- Work ability at follow-up(Up to three years after discharge)
- Symptom burden at follow-up(Up to three years after discharge)
- Sleep quality at follow-up(Up to three years after discharge)
- Physical activity at follow-up(Up to three years after discharge)
- Resilience at follow-up(Up to three years after discharge)
