“…This approach aligns with research findings that conflict at the workplace is predictive of recurrent sickness absence among workers returning following a mental health disorder such as depression (20). CWH has been scientifically studied (21,22) with research findings supporting its role in RTW following depression. The purpose of this case report is to build on this quantitative and qualitative research by offering a concrete example of how CWH can be utilized in clinical practice.…”

“…On the first day of CWH, the client completed three selfreport questionnaires that address constructs that can relate to RTW outcomes (21). The questionnaires were the Work Ability Index (WAI) ( 33), the Multi-Dimensional Assessment of Fatigue (MAF) (34), and the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) 1 (35).…”

“…Instead, it might be useful to document and define a list of evidence-based services that an occupational therapist could provide. For example, it might be useful to document occupational therapy expertise in providing functional cognitive-behavioral assessments and interventions (Lysaght et al, 2008; Marfeo et al, 2017), cognitive work hardening (Wisenthal et al, 2018; Wisenthal & Krupa, 2013), supported employment (Marshall et al, 2014), and guidance regarding accommodations (Dewa et al, 2016), as these evidence-based approaches are congruent with the unique occupational perspective. Other services, such as health promotion, case management, and training, may also be relevant and important (Joyce et al, 2016) but are not as specific to occupational therapy expertise.…”

“…Occupational therapists have expertise in cognitive behavioural job demands analysis; this can facilitate return-to-work planning through a process of matching the abilities of the worker to the demands of the job (Lysaght, Shaw, Almas, Jogia, & Larmour-Trode, 2008). Another specific occupational therapy approach is cognitive work hardening, which uses progressively more difficult tasks to develop occupational performance skills, focusing on stress management, coping skills, interpersonal conflict resolution, and functional skills directly related to work (Wisenthal & Krupa, 2013; Wisenthal, Krupa, Kirsh, & Lysaght, 2018). Interventions to aid workers experiencing mental health concerns with recovery and return to work, such as cognitive behavioural therapy and problem-focused return-to-work programs, have strong evidence for both reducing symptoms and improving occupation-related outcomes (Joyce et al, 2016).…”
