“…The results of Johnston et al [15] confirm the existence of a significant association between depression severity and absenteeism and presenteeism, indicating an increase in absenteeism and a decrease in productivity as the severity of illness increases. The relationship between decreasing levels of mental well-being (MWB) and increasing loss of productivity was demonstrated in the study by Santini et al [16]. The results of a study by Stewart et al [17] showed that employees suffering from depression reported significantly more total health-related LTP (lost productive time) than employees without depression -an average of 5.6 hrs/week compared with the expected 1.5 hrs/week.…”

The aim of the research presented here is to assess the impact of depressive disorders on the potential of the labour markets in the countries of the European Union, with particular reference to the disparities between the 'old' and 'new' EU countries. The initial hypothesis of persistent inequalities in the system under study was verified by analysing the process of convergence in the burden of depressive disorders among people aged 20-54 that occurred in the EU-27 group of countries between 1990 and 2019. The study used data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (IHME, 2020), which examined the number of years lived with disability (YLD) due to depression in the working age population. The analysis showed that the high burden of the consequences of depressive disorders is particularly true for the highly developed economies of the EU-14. The results of the convergence assessment did not confirm the real effect of catching up over time with economies in a more favourable situation, and the inequalities observed at the beginning of the analysis period deepened..

Research has shown that mental disorders in working-age individuals are associated with a significant burden of disability, sickness absence, and presenteeism, resulting in lost productivity. This study aims to assess the impact of depressive disorders on the labour markets in the European Union countries, with a particular focus on the disparities between the ‘old’ and ‘new’ EU countries. The study analysed the process of convergence of the burden of depressive disorders among people aged 20–54 in the group of EU-27 countries in the years 1990–2019, using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. The initial hypothesis of persistent inequalities in the system studied was verified. The study measured years lived with disability (YLD) due to depressive disorders in the working-age population. The analysis revealed that depressive disorders have a significant impact on the highly developed economies of the EU-14 countries. The convergence assessment did not confirm the effect of catching up with more favourable economies over time, and the inequalities observed at the beginning of the analysis period worsened. This study’s results expand upon the existing literature on the consequences of depressive disorders by introducing the perspective of inequalities in the studied area. These inequalities were observed between EU-27 economies with varying levels of socio-economic development.

“…Ursachen für die geringe Implementierung in KMU sind oft mangelnde finanzielle und personelle Ressourcen [ 11 ]. Zudem fehlt es Arbeitgebenden an Wissen und Aufklärung über die Langzeitfolgen von psychischen Störungen [ 11 ], obwohl diese von höchster Relevanz sind, da sie mit einer verringerten Produktivität und erhöhten Fehlzeiten [ 15 ] zusammenhängen. Daher sollten Arbeitgebende auch aus Wirtschaftlichkeit Interesse an der psychosomatischen Gesundheit der Beschäftigten haben [ 16 , 17 ].…”

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Die Inanspruchnahme der psychotherapeutischen Sprechstunde am Arbeitsplatz (PT-A) wurde bislang in Großunternehmen (GU) untersucht. Diese unterscheiden sich strukturell von mittleren und Klein(st)unternehmen (KMU). Unterschiede der Nutzerprofile einer PT‑A hinsichtlich psychosomatischer Gesundheit, arbeitsbezogener Selbstwirksamkeit und Arbeitsfähigkeit sowie des psychosozialen Sicherheitsklimas (PSC) abhängig von der Unternehmensgröße wurden bisher kaum betrachtet. Methoden In der Interventionsstudie „Frühe Intervention am Arbeitsplatz“ (friaa) wurden zwischen 09/2021 und 01/2023 an einer PT‑A interessierte Beschäftigte aus GU und KMU deutschlandweit befragt. Mittels t‑ und χ2-Tests wurden Unterschiede zwischen Beschäftigten in GU (n = 439) und KMU (n = 109) hinsichtlich F‑Diagnosen nach ICD-10 („International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems“; psychische und Verhaltensstörungen), Depressivität (PHQ-9), Ängstlichkeit (GAD-2), allgemeinen Funktionsniveaus (GAF), somatischer Symptombelastung (SSS-8), Gesundheit (VR-12), Arbeitsfähigkeit (WAI), Selbstwirksamkeit (SOSES) und psychosozialen Sicherheitsklimas (PSC-4) geprüft und mittels Korrelationsanalyse explorativ deren Zusammenhänge untersucht. Ergebnisse Beide Gruppen zeigten sich ähnlich stark beansprucht. In GU wurden aus Sicht der Beschäftigten psychosoziale Themen signifikant häufiger thematisiert als in KMU mit einer mittleren Effektgröße. Die Studie lieferte erste Hinweise, dass in GU positive Zusammenhänge des PSC‑4 mit SOSES und WAI sowie negative mit PHQ‑9 und SSS‑8 vorliegen. Diskussion Die vergleichbare psychische Beanspruchung der Beschäftigten in GU und KMU weist auf den Bedarf von verhältnis- und verhaltenspräventiven Maßnahmen unabhängig von der Unternehmensgröße hin. Vor allem in KMU sollte die Thematisierung psychosozialer Gesundheit einen größeren Stellenwert einnehmen.
