Effectiveness of vocational rehabilitation interventions on depression and work-related outcomes among adults with affective disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Introduction
Achieving and sustaining employment is a critical concern for individuals with mental health disorders, and vocational rehabilitation (VR) may be beneficial. However, existing reviews focus on a wide range of mental illnesses.
Aim
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of VR for individuals with affective disorders in improving depressive symptoms, competitive employment, absence duration, and quality of life compared to usual care.
Methods
Randomized controlled trials which recruited adults aged 18–65 with depressive disorders or bipolar disorders were included. A random-effects meta-analysis was conducted where applicable.
Data sources
Ten databases were systematically searched from inception to November 2023. Grey literature was searched on ProQuest and Google Scholar. The search was updated on March 22, 2024.
Results
Thirteen articles describing nine studies (n = 1869 participants) were included; no study involved individuals with bipolar disorders. VR reduced depressive symptoms post-intervention and at short-term follow-up compared to usual care but not at long-term follow-up. Competitive employment, absence duration, and quality of life showed no significant differences.
Conclusion
Moderate-quality evidence supports VR's effectiveness in reducing depressive symptoms. Future research should focus on VR for bipolar disorders and incorporate workplace support to improve vocational and quality-of-life outcomes.
