Education of the primary health care staff based on acceptance and commitment therapy is associated with reduced sick leave in a prospective controlled trial
Overview
This prospective controlled trial examines whether providing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) education to primary healthcare staff reduces sick leave rates among patients. The study compared six centers in Kalmar, where staff received group-based ACT training, with five control centers in Jönköping that did not receive such education. Results indicated a significant reduction in sick leave for stress-related disorders and overall diagnoses in the intervention centers compared to the control group.
