Brief Summary

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of PRATICAdr 2.0, a web application facilitated by a Return-to-Work Coordinator (RTW-C), with a focus on reducing sick leave duration and preventing relapse in individuals with CMDs. PRATICAdr 2.0 designed to enhance collaboration among Return-to-Work (RTW) stakeholders and provide systematic support throughout the RTW process, is evaluated in a randomized control trial (RCT). As part of the RCT, a total of 80 sick leave employees from 4 large public health organizations (n=80, 40 from the experimental group and 40 from the control group) will be recruited. The control group receives usual services offered by a RTW-C to sick leave employees, while the experimental group receives RTW-C services plus the use of PRATICAdr 2.0.

Study Arms (2)

Return to work coordinator + PRATICAdr 2.0

EXPERIMENTAL

The primary objective of the Return to work coordinator (RTW-C) is to coordinate, plan, and promote sustainable RTW for employees on sick leave.The RTW-C is responsible for assessing employee functioning while exploring barriers to RTW and available resources to develop a RTW plan. Also, RTW-C enhance communication and collaboration among stakeholders involved in the RTW process. In this arm, the RTW-C uses PRATICAdr 2.0, a web application including key features (e.g., Facilitation of collaboration among multiple RTW stakeholders across healthcare, enterprise, and insurance sectors; Integration of each stakeholder's action into the sick leave employee's RTW process; sequential process aligned with the three phases of the RTW, inclusion of tools).
