TL;DR: Moderate- quality evidence was found that CBT did not significantly reduce time until partial RTW and low-quality evidence that it did not significant reduce time to full RTW compared with no treatment, and moderate-quality Evidence showed that PST significantly enhanced partialRTW at one-year follow-up compared to non-guideline based care but did notificantly enhance time to complete RTW.

TL;DR: The 12-month effectiveness of a problem-solving intervention for reducing recurrent sickness absence in workers with CMDs is demonstrated and emphasises the importance of continuous attention in the post return to work phase for workers who have been on sickness absence due to C MDs.

TL;DR: The new capability set for work questionnaire appears to be a valid instrument to measure work capabilities and can be used to evaluate the capability set of workers in organizations to identify aspects that need to be addressed in interventions.

TL;DR: Two work- and one disease-related factor predicted the incidence of recurrent SA among workers with CMD and healthcare providers can use these findings to detect and help workers who have returned to work and are at higher risk for recurrent SA.

TL;DR: Evaluating the cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit of a problem solving intervention aimed at preventing recurrent sickness absence in workers with CMDs showed that the SHARP-at work intervention was more effective but also more expensive than care as usual.
