Return to Work Among Patients With Stress Related Mental Disorders - An Intervention in the Swedish...
StressPsychological3 moreThe aim of this project is to develop a model for return to work (RTW) for patients sick listed due to stress related mental disorders, which takes into account each patient's specific situation; includes the workplace, and is well adapted to the Swedish primary care setting. In late 2016, general practitioners (GPs) and rehabilitation coordinators at both public and private primary care centers will be offered a one-day training about work and workability for patients with stress related mental disorders. Also, the participants will be trained in a specific method that includes the patient's employer early in the rehabilitation process The project has a quasi-experimental and longitudinal design. The intervention will be conducted on 15 different primary care centers, which will be matched with a comparison group. Return to work for 500 patients will be analyzed using registry data, 6, 12 and 18 months after sick-listing. The hypothesis is that patients who are sick-listed at primary care centers that completely or partially implemented the specific method on average will return earlier to work than patients sick-listed at primary care centers that did not implement the method. Alongside studying if the intervention has an effect on the patients' RTW over time, the investigators aim to investigate the mechanisms explaining the effects and the individual and organizational level (primary care units) circumstances necessary for these mechanisms to be triggered. To gain deeper knowledge about mechanisms and context, the investigators will conduct interviews with the treatment staff and collect registry data about the primary care units.
Return to Work: Promoting Health and Productivity in Workers With Common Mental Disorders
Adjustment DisordersAnxiety Disorders1 moreEvidence-based clinical treatments for common mental disorders, such as CBT and/or pharmacotherapy, have resulted in significant and sustained improvement in clinical symptoms. However, the individual-focused treatments rarely have sickness absence as a target of intervention or evaluate work-related outcomes, such as return to work. A recent review of the evidence for managing stress at work showed that individual interventions give effects on mental health measures but did not impact absenteeism at work. The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of two different rehabilitation models, one based on psychotherapy and the other on workplace-interventions, when these are offered as standalone interventions and in combination for patients with adjustment, anxiety and depressive disorders.
Psychological First Aid With Children in a High Risk Group - a Repeated Single Case Design
Post Traumatic Stress DisorderAdjustment DisorderThe purpose of this pilot-study is to evaluate a cognitive behavioral method "Psychological First Aid" used with a group of children (11-16 years) in high risk of developing psychological problems. Participants are recruited from a low-threshold program ("The Children's House in Oslo") where counseling is given to children suspected of being physically or sexually abused, or having witnessed domestic violence. The study includes twelve children and teenagers that receive 2 to 6 sessions of counseling. Psychological problems (e.g. anxiety, depression, reactions to trauma) and quality of life will be assessed at pre- post and follow-up (after 3, 6 and 12 months). In addition, some symptoms of will be assessed daily.
Effectiveness of Two Stress Management Programs in Adaptation Disorder With Anxiety (ADA)
Adjustment DisordersPsychological StressThe aim of this study was to assess the effects of a 5-week standardized cognitive behavioral treatment of stress management conducted via e-learning or face-to-face on patients responding to the diagnosis of adjustment disorder with anxiety (ADA) according to the DSM- 5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition) criteria .
Learning How to Recover From Stress - Pilot RCT
Adjustment DisordersThis randomized, controlled pilot trial evaluated the efficacy of a brief internet-based recovery training intervention targeting distressed employees. This pilot trial is one of the first to examine a brief recovery training program's efficacy, suggesting that employees across a wide range of professions could learn how to recover from elevated stress symptoms. This type of accessible and brief recovery intervention might shape the future of stress prevention, but more research is needed with larger samples before further conclusions can be drawn.
Study to Determine Whether There Are Any Cognitive or Motor Effects From Taking the Medicine Risperidone....
Oppositional Defiant DisorderConduct Disorder6 moreThis study was developed in order to assess the effects of risperidone (Risperdal) as compared with placebo on cognitive-motor performance (attention, memory, and hand steadiness) and body movements. We propose to study the effects of risperidone on cognitive-motor performance in children already medicated for severe conduct problems. We would also like to look at safety by assessing these children for dyskinetic movements. We already have a sizable cohort of children maintained on risperidone. Our hypotheses are as follows: Risperidone will have no adverse effects on cognitive-motor performance in children who have received maintenance therapy for 4 to 20 months. Children tested during placebo will show no more dyskinetic movements than during risperidone treatment (i.e., there will be no unmasking of tardive dyskinesia).

Development and Validation of an Online Treatment Program for Adjustment Disorders
Online Computerized Program GroupWaiting List Control GroupThe purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and effectiveness of a self-help treatment for adjustment disorders administered through a computerized program applied over the Internet. This treatment modality will be compared with a waiting list control group. It is expected that, on the one side, the intervention group will improve significantly compared to the waiting list control group. On the other side, it is expected the self-applied online treatment program to be well accepted and valued by the patient.
