Effectiveness of 'motivational interviewing' on sick leave: a randomized controlled trial in a social insurance setting
CONCLUSIONS: This study did not provide evidence that MI offered by NAV caseworkers to sick-listed individuals was more effective on RTW than usual case management or an active control. Providing MI in this context could be challenging as only half of the MI group received the intervention.PMID:37634251 | DOI:10.5271/sjweh.4117 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment and Health)

Occupational mechanical exposures as risk factor for chronic low-back pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions Moderate evidence of an association was found for lifting/carrying loads, non-neutral postures, and combined mechanical exposures. Low or very low evidence was found for whole-body vibrations, standing/walking, and sitting. Studies using standardized exposure definition, metric, and technical measurements are highly warranted. by Jahn A, Andersen JH, Christiansen DH, Seidler A, Dalbøge A. doi:10.5271/sjweh.4112 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment and Health)

The effects of a national, voluntary agreement for a more inclusive working life on work participation following long-term sickness absence: a Norwegian cohort study
This study aimed to estimate the average individual effect of the company-level Norwegian Agreement on a More Inclusive Working Life (IA Agreement) on individuals’ (i) sustained return to work after a sickness absence (SA) episode, and (ii) recurrent SA. Methods Using register data, 79 253 men and 94 914 women born in Norway 1967–1976 were followed for one year between 2005 and 2010 after returning to work from an SA episode (>16 days). Weighted Cox proportional hazard models analysed time to first exit from work by companies’ IA status (IA/non-IA). Weighted cumulative incidence differences between IA and non-IA gr...

The effects of a national, voluntary agreement for a more inclusive working life on work participation following long-term sickness absence: a Norwegian cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Individuals working in IA companies were more likely to remain in work. This was mainly due to reduced unemployment/economic inactivity, suggesting the IA Agreement may have influenced work participation through other means than reduced SA.PMID:37548319 | DOI:10.5271/sjweh.4112 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment and Health)
