Abstract
It is unclear what constitutes Work Focused Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (W-CBT). This review sought to define W-CBT and ascertain its effectiveness at facilitating return to work (RTW) for people experiencing mental health conditions. A systematic review and narrative synthesis were undertaken. Five databases were searched (Medline, ProQuest, PsychInfo, Scopus, and Web of Science). English publications with an intervention combining CBT with RTW were selected. Quality checklists from the Joanna Briggs Institute were applied. Searching yielded 16,863 results. 23 moderate-to-high quality studies from 25 articles were included (13 experimentally designed studies, 3 pilots/case studies and 7 reviews). Results indicated W-CBT is effective at facilitating RTW for mild-to-moderate mental health conditions. For a program to be labelled W-CBT it is recommended it is (1) a stand-alone intervention; (2) delivered with an understanding RTW is the goal; and, (3) the CBT components are always framed by matters, subjects and contexts related to work.
目前尚不清楚是什么构成了工作聚焦认知行为疗法(W-CBT)。本综述旨在定义W-CBT,并确定其在促进精神疾病患者重返工作岗位(RTW)方面的有效性。进行了系统的审查和叙述综合。检索了5个数据库(Medline、ProQuest、PsychInfo、Scopus和Web of Science)。选择CBT与RTW联合干预的英文出版物。采用了乔安娜布里格斯研究所的质量检查表。搜索产生了16,863个结果。纳入了来自25篇文章的23项中高质量研究(13项实验设计研究,3项试点/案例研究和7项综述)。结果表明,W-CBT在促进轻至中度心理健康状况的RTW方面是有效的。对于一个被标记为W-CBT的项目,建议它是(1)一个独立的干预;(2)交付时,要明白RTW是目标;(3) CBT的组成部分总是由与工作相关的事项、主题和背景构成。
