To test a new program's effectiveness in reducing depression's work burden.
A brief telephonic program to improve work functioning was tested in an early-stage randomized controlled trial involving 79 Maine State Government employees who were screened in for depression and at-work limitations (treatment group = 59; usual care group = 27). Group differences in baseline to follow-up change scores on the Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ), WLQ Absence Module, and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-9 depression severity scale were tested with analysis of covariance.
Although there were no baseline group differences (P ≥ 0.05), by follow-up, the treatment group had significantly better scores on every outcome and differences in the longitudinal changes were all statistically significant (P = 0.0.27 to 0.0001).
The new program was superior to usual care. The estimated productivity cost savings is $6041.70 per participant annually.
检验一个新方案在减轻抑郁所致工作负担方面的效果。
在一项早期随机对照试验中对一个简短的改善工作功能的电话方案进行了测试,该试验纳入了 79 名缅因州政府雇员,他们因抑郁和工作受限而接受筛查(治疗组=59 例;常规护理组=27 例)。采用协方差分析比较工作限制问卷(WLQ)、WLQ 缺勤模块和患者健康问卷(PHQ)-9 抑郁严重程度量表的基线至随访变化评分的组间差异。
尽管基线时组间无差异(P≥0.05),但随访时治疗组在所有结局上的评分均显著更好,且纵向变化差异均具有统计学意义(P=0.0.27 至 0.0001)。
新方案优于常规护理。估计每位参与者每年的生产力成本节约为 6041.70 美元。
