Introduction:

There are no effective programs on return-to-work (RTW) despite an increase of stress related disorders. We developed an original rehabilitation program,’Ultra-short daily briefings care (USDBC)’. USDBC is based on a key concept of European Framework for Psychosocial Risk Management (PRIMA-EF; WHO, 2008) that provides the good practice guidelines at the workplace. We carried out USDBC at the worksite of Panasonic Healthcare Co., Ltd. to determine whether USDBC facilitates RTW.

Objectives:

To develop and establish the appropriate intervention that reduces depressive severity of sick-listed employees.

Aims:

The aim of the study was to determine whether USDBC strengthen the sense of coherence (SOC; Antonovsky, 1985).

Method:

We compared two groups in a cross-sectional study design: 16 depressed RTW employees (USDBC group) vs. 121 healthy employees (control group) (Fig.1). USDBC group was received the instant face-to-face rehabilitation program in every workday (Fig.2). The primary outcome was the ability to cope with stress, measured by self-reported 13-items SOC scale for Japanese (Yamazaki, 1999).

Results:

In the USDBC group, significant changes were observed between baseline and measurement point in SOC score (40.3 vs. 54.4; 95% CI (20.6 to (7.5), whereas in the control group, no significant changes were observed (58.3 vs. 57.9; 95% CI (0.1 to 0.9) (Table.1).

Conclusions:

The study suggests that USDBC strengthen the depressed employees’ SOC.
