Review: The clinical effectiveness of a cognitive behavioural therapy intervention in a work setting: a 5-year retrospective analysis of outcomes

摘要

This 5-year retrospective study (the reviewed study) provides an alternative approach to combatting stress, assisting with stress and the impact this has on and within the working environment. The study first examines the impact, including the economic impact, of long-term mental illness in the context of anxiety and depression within the work environment and how barriers to accessing healthcare for less severe psychological illnesses impede a planned and timely return to work. Another aspect identified was the complexity of separating out the work-related illness from the home-related factors.
