Abstract

Background: Many individuals with common mental disorders (CMDs) face challenges after returning to work following sickness absence. Healthcare providers and healthcare systems are well-placed to provide returnees with support which can facilitate sustainable return-to-work.

Sources of data: This narrative review has integrated data and literature from journal articles, reports, book chapters, and official NHS and UK statistics bodies.

Areas of agreement: Individual healthcare providers and healthcare systems can take various actions to support sustainable return-to-work for individuals with CMDs. These include utilizing shared decision-making, maintaining communication with other stakeholders, and delivering suitable interventions. Healthcare leadership systems should prioritize improving relevant provider knowledge and skills as many lack confidence managing cases involving return-to-work.

Areas of controversy: Healthcare providers face uncertainty about which supportive actions fall within their scope of practice.Growing points: Research interest in sustainable return-to-work appears to have grown in recent years.

Areas timely for developing research: Future research should seek to clarify the definition of sustainable return-to-work and examine how resources across system levels can support sustainable return-to-work.

保健提供者在常见精神障碍患者可持续重返工作岗位中的作用。

背景：许多患有常见精神障碍（cmd）的个体在病假后重返工作岗位面临挑战。卫生保健提供者和卫生保健系统处于有利地位，可以为返回者提供支持，促进可持续地重返工作岗位。数据来源：这篇叙述性综述整合了来自期刊文章、报告、书籍章节和官方NHS和英国统计机构的数据和文献。协议领域：个人医疗保健提供者和医疗保健系统可以采取各种行动，支持慢性病患者可持续地重返工作岗位。这些措施包括利用共同决策、与其他利益攸关方保持沟通以及提供适当的干预措施。医疗保健领导系统应优先考虑提高相关提供者的知识和技能，因为许多人缺乏管理涉及重返工作岗位的病例的信心。争议领域：医疗保健提供者面临不确定性的支持行动属于他们的实践范围。成长点：近年来，对可持续重返工作岗位的研究兴趣似乎有所增长。及时开展研究的领域：未来的研究应设法澄清可持续重返工作岗位的定义，并检查跨系统级别的资源如何支持可持续重返工作岗位。
