Background: Symptoms of stress are widespread in the working population and associated with long-term sickness absence and poor work functioning. Occupational therapy (OT)-based interventions are effective in improving returnto-work (RTW)-rates in stress-afflicted long-term sickness benefit beneficiaries (SBBs). No Danish standard on OT-RTW for stress-afflicted SSBs exists. Aims: To describe and evaluate the feasibility of a seven-week OT-RTW intervention for stress-afflicted SBBs. Material and Methods: Daily Life Coping (DLC) utilizes peer-learning and salutogenetic perspectives to address occupational imbalances experienced by long-term SBBs.Stress-afflicted SBBs (n=54) in the municipality of Hilleroedwere enrolled. Self-efficacy and well-being were measured before and after intervention using the general self-efficacy (GSE) scale and WHO-5 Well-being Index (WHO-5). RTW-rates were measured at one-year follow-up. Participant feedback was collected using standardized evaluation forms.Results: Following the intervention, WHO-5 improved 13.7±16.5 points and GSE improved 4.3±4.8 points. Participant feedback was positive. At one-year follow up, employment status data was available for 51 SSBs of these 58.8% achieved employment. High post-test GSE and WHO-5 scores were associated with employment at follow-up.Conclusion: DLC led to significant improvements in self-efficacy and well-being.Preliminary results indicate benefits on RTW-rates.
