“…The current study confirms that depression and loneliness may be considered as targets of tailored therapeutic programs fostering a return to work and work efficiency. Such an approach can already be seen in previously published results and protocols of clinical studies (Poulsen et al 2017 ; Petersson et al 2018 ; Alvarez et al 2020 ). Short-term and long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis have been shown to improve depressive symptoms, work ability and functional outcome in a five-year follow-up among professionally active adults (Knekt et al 2011 ).…”

Purpose Both depression and loneliness have been recognized as major public health issues, yet investigation into their role among young and middle-aged, professionally active persons is still required. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether depression and loneliness may independently predict inefficiency at work among professionally active adults. Methods This is a cross-sectional study on a representative, nationwide sample. 1795 questionnaires were gathered from among professionally active adults from Poland from 1 to 31 July 2018 with a direct pen-and-paper interview. The sample was chosen by means of the stratified random method. The survey included a Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) to measure depression and questions, devised by the authors, relating to loneliness and inefficiency at work. Regression models were constructed with depression and loneliness as predictors of inefficiency at work, unadjusted and adjusted for selected sociodemographic, health- and work-related factors. Results In the unadjusted models, both depression and loneliness were independently associated with an increase of work inefficiency and absence from work, with effect sizes being higher for loneliness than for depression. After accounting for the control variables (i.e., sociodemographic, work- and health-related factors), the PHQ-9 score, but not the loneliness score, was associated with an increased probability of frequent thoughts about changing or leaving a job. Conclusion Depression and loneliness independently predicted occupational functioning and differentially affect its various aspects. Counteracting depression and loneliness among employees should be regarded as a public health priority.

“…It is worth noting that even simple interventions may prove effective. For example, the monitoring of depressive symptoms with self-report instruments in the primary care setting on a monthly basis may increase work ability and sense of social support in a three-month follow-up (Petersson et al 2018 ).…”

Background Work participation is important for health and can be considered as engagement in a major area of life which is of significance for most people, but it can also be thought of as fulfilling or discharging a role. Currently, academic research lacks a comprehensive classification of work participation outcomes. The International Classification of Functioning is the foremost model in defining work functioning and its counterpart work disability, but it does not provide a critical (core) set of outcomes. Standardizing the definitions and nomenclature used in the research of work participation would ensure that the outcomes of studies are comparable, and practitioners and guideline developers can better decide what works best. As work participation is a broad umbrella term including outcome categories which need unambiguous differentiation, a framework needs to be developed first. Aim To propose a framework which can be used to develop a generic core outcome set for work participation. Methods First, we performed a systematic literature search on the concept of (work) participation, views on how to measure it, and on existing classifications for outcome measurements. Next, we derived criteria for the framework and proposed a framework based on the criteria. Last, we applied the framework to six case studies as a proof of concept. Results Our literature search provided 2106 hits and we selected 59 studies for full-text analysis. Based on the literature and the developed criteria we propose four overarching outcome categories: (1) initiating employment, (2) having employment, (3) increasing or maintaining productivity at work, and (4) return to employment. These categories appeared feasible in our proof-of-concept assessment with six different case studies. Conclusion We propose to use the framework for work participation outcomes to develop a core outcome set for intervention studies to improve work participation.

Objetivo: compreender a percepção de familiares de pacientes com diagnóstico de transtorno de humor emrelação à doença, sintomas e tratamento. Método: estudo de caso qualitativo realizado com familiares de pacientes com diagnóstico de transtorno de humor em tratamento em hospital psiquiátrico. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e os dados foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo. Resultados: a desinformação e o estigma permeiam esse panorama, fragilizando relações, prejudicando o suporte familiar e o tratamento, que envolveu medicamentos, psicoterapia e eletroconvulsoterapia. Conclusão: os transtornos do humor, dadas sua complexidade e prevalência, necessitam ser compreendidos pela sociedade, família e profissionais. A família é afetada pelo sofrimento mental e necessita ser foco do cuidado.
