Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background:

Mental illness has an estimated financial burden on the Danish economy of 3.4 % of Gross National Product every year due to lost productivity, social benefits and healthcare costs and approximately 50 % of people receiving long-term sickness benefits have a common mental illness. Furthermore, a significant treatment gap exists where less than 30% were treated for their mental illness.

Objective:

The primary objective of the randomized trial is to examine whether people on sick leave with a diagnosis of anxiety, depression, stress, personality disorders or functional disorders, return to work faster and have a higher job retention if they receive an integrated and optimized vocational rehabilitation and mental health care intervention, compared to people who receive the standard mental health care and vocational rehabilitation service.

Method:

The trial is designed as an randomized, two-group parallel, assessor-blinded, multisite trial. A total of 800 participants with a common mental illness will randomly be assigned into two groups 1) IBBIS II, consisting of an integrated mental health care and vocational rehabilitation; or 2) Service as usual, at two sites in Denmark. The primary outcome is difference between the two groups in time to return to work at 12 months.

Results/discussion:

This study will contribute with new knowledge on vocational recovery and integrated vocational and health care interventions in a Scandinavian context.

IBBIS II

Integrated Mental Health Care and Vocational Rehabilitation

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

IBBIS II

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The IBBIS-II service consists of:

1. Mental health assessment.
2. Planned integrated service. The participant has the same employment specialists and care manager throughout the intervention. A joint plan is made with shared decisions between the participant, the employment specialist and the care manager. There is a focus on disclosure (openness about illness) and involvement of relatives and significant others.
3. Vocational rehabilitation. Focus on return to work with ongoing assessment of job goals, competencies and need of support. Participants receive help in contacting existing employers (employed) and potential employers (unemployed). Unemployed participants are offered an individualized job search effort. The focus is on competitive jobs within the community.
4. Treatment consists of stepped care with structured treatment guidelines.
5. When the participant has obtained work the team continues to offer support.
