Mental health: Professional rehabilitation and the return to work - A systematic review

What is it about?

The problem of illnesses, sick leave and the necessary return to work and permanence at work has been determining the development of different protocols and professional rehabilitation programs in different countries. We sought to identify articles that address programs for professional rehabilitation and the return to work of people laid off due to mental health problems, and to verify the results of professional rehabilitation programs and the follow-up processes for such return. A systematic review was performed according to the criteria of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA).
