“…Early psychological interventions improve disease prognosis and overall functioning 4) . Similarly, psychological/educational interventions for back pain 9) and lower back pain have found continued activities 7) and a combination of clinical and occupational interventions 6) to result in a faster return to work, less chronic disability and fewer recurrent problems [7][8][9] . The cost effectiveness of stress management techniques has been illustrated with a variety of disabilities.…”

Stress Management and Workplace Disability in the US, Europe and Japan: Deborah L. Jones, et al. Department of Psychology, Barry University, USA—Although the health care costs and the number of disability cases across all medical illnesses have increased, disability management programs implementing stress management interventions have been found to improve physical and mental health, reduce costs to employers, and facilitate the reintegration of injured individuals into the work environment. Stress management programs limit the impact and chronicity of disabilities and can be used to reduce and control the cost of disability in the workplace. Providing the most efficacious behavioral interventions thereby allows employers, employees and health professionals to work cooperatively to achieve optimum health and cost effectiveness. This review presents a variety of group and individual interventions, which have been utilized to aid disabled employees in coping with work‐related injuries and medical illness. The implementation of stress management interventions in the workplace is described in detail, with special emphasis on the use of cognitive behavioral stress management. Finally, this review outlines a team approach to the application of a workplace stress management intervention aimed at reducing the overall impact of disability. (J Occup Health 2003; 45: 1–7)

“…This group of clients included all those with non-specific back injuries and back pain. Rehabilitation of individuals with back pain is complex and requires consideration of psychosocial factors as well as physical factors (Gibson and Strong, 1998), and a multidisciplinary approach to intervention (Carosella et al, 1994;Greenberg and Bello, 1996). The case management skills of both the rehabilitation counsellor and the occupational therapist would enable an effective multidisciplinary approach to intervention to be coordinated, and an understanding of the psychosocial factors associated with disability would further assist with managing these clients (Fisher, 1996;Hafez and Brockman, 1998;Australian Society of Rehabilitation Counsellors, 2000).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the case manager's role in a return-to-work programme in Sydney, Australia. The investigators examined the case manager's role assumed by occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists and rehabilitation counsellors when providing occupational rehabilitation services. Files of closed cases (n=172) were examined to investigate the relationship between the case manager's profession and return-to-work outcomes. It was found that the provider of occupational rehabilitation examined in this study achieved above-average return-to-work rates (83%), with no significant difference between case managers. There was, however, a significant relationship between the client's type of injury and the case manager (p<0.001), and case length was significantly different between case managers (p=0.004). The occupational therapist had the largest case management load (43%), followed by the rehabilitation counsellor (23%). There were trends (0.05

“…30 People with chronic pain are at greater risk of developing cardiovascular disorders, obesity, cancer, diabetes, depression, and also at greater risk of premature death. 32,43,45,55,64 The high prevalence of CMP has economic consequences due to the high volume of healthcare utilisation and reduced labour productivity. In the United States, chronic pain costs the economy $635 billion each year, 26 and throughout the EU, €441 billion annually.…”

Our objective was to investigate the effectiveness of booster sessions after self-management interventions as a means of maintaining selfmanagement behaviours in the treatment of chronic musculoskeletal pain. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Science Citation Index, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and PsychINFO. Two authors independently identified eligible trials and collected data. We calculated the odds ratio for the analyses of dichotomous data and standardised mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for continuous variables. Our search identified 14 studies with a total of 1695 patients. All studies were at high risk of bias and provided very low quality evidence. For the primary outcomes, booster sessions had no evidence of an effect on improving patient-reported outcomes on physical function (SMD 20.13, 95% CI 20.32 to 20.06; P 5 0.18), pain-related disability (SMD 20.16, 95% CI 20.36 to 0.03; P 5 0.11), and pain self-efficacy (SMD 0.15, 95% CI 20.07 to 0.36; P 5 0.18). For the secondary outcomes, booster sessions caused a significant reduction in patient-reported pain catastrophising (SMD 20.42, 95% CI 20.64 to 20.19; P 5 0.0004) and no evidence of an effect on patient-reported pain intensity, depression, coping, or treatment adherence. There is currently little evidence that booster sessions are an effective way to prolong positive treatment effects or improve symptoms of long-term musculoskeletal conditions after self-management interventions. However, the studies were few with high heterogeneity, high risk of bias, and overall low quality of evidence. Our review argues against including booster sessions routinely to self-management interventions for the purpose of behaviour maintenance.
