Purpose of This Study
stress-related disorders
SECONDARY
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a work-focused iCBT (W-iCBT) intervention compared with generic iCBT and a waitlist control (WLC) group in a self-referred sample of employees with stress-related disorders. We hypothesized that W-iCBT and iCBT would be superior in reducing perceived stress, burnout, and exhaustion and improving recovery from work and quality of life compared with a WLC group. In secondary explorative analyses, we examined whether the W-iCBT group would differ from the iCBT and WLC groups in terms of important work-related outcomes, including work experience, work ability, SA, and long-term sick leave. We also hypothesized that the initially achieved changes would remain stable at the 12-month follow-up period.
