Prevalence, types, and combinations of multiple problems among recipients of work disability benefits

CONCLUSIONS: Clients with multiple problems face severe and intertwined problems in different domains of life, and need tailored multi-actor work disability management.Implications for rehabilitationClients with multiple problems face severe and intertwined problems in different domains of life; therefore, interventions tailored to deal with needs related to specific problems might be more effective than traditional programs.Interventions should match experienced barriers, and involve multi-actor work disability management with all the challenges of mutual cooperation.For persons with multiple problems a focus on pure medical barriers is too narrow, because personal, social, and environmental factors might also obstruct participation in work.PMID:33789067 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2021.1900931
