  • Repeated short-term sick-leave and quality of life : An evaluation of a clinical socio-medical intervention
  • 1990

    • The primary aim of this study was to evaluate a clinical socio-medical supportive program for repeated short-term sickleavers who exhibited no evident reason for their prolonged absence. Attention was drawn to changes in the quality of life of the participants. Ninety-nine persons took part in the full program. The sex distribution was even and the mean age was 32 years. The average number of days of sick-leave during the year preceding the entrance into the program was 28. The most common self-stated diagnosis was upper respiratory infection or gastro-intestinal problems. The evaluation showed a significant change for the better in the quality of life and well-being of the patients, although more than every other patient did not explicitly attribute any personal benefit to the intervention itself. The results coincide irrespective of measuring method and, are by and large, consistent over most areas of life and components of well-being assessed. Thus the design and the results of the evalution look very promising concerning reliability, validity and especially sensitivity. A corresponding model may be applicable more generally when evaluating health- and medical care.

  • Gender trends in sick-listing with musculoskeletal symptoms in a Swedish county during a period of rapid increase in sickness absence
  • 1998
  • Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Social Medicine. - : SAGE Publications. - 1403-4948 .- 0300-8037. ; 26:3, s. 204-213

    • Sickness absence and disability pension due to musculoskeletal diagnoses has increased in Sweden.Study objective — To study gender trends in sickness absence with musculoskeletal diagnoses and its changes in 1985—87.Design — A prospective population-based study of all new sick-leave spells exceeding seven days in 1985—87. Sickness absence with "all diagnoses'' was compared to "all musculoskeletal diagnoses'', the latter group was also divided into three sub-groups.Setting — The county of Östergötland, Sweden.Participants — All sick-leave insured aged 16—65; 107,000 women and 100,000 men.Results — More women than men were sick-listed in "all diagnoses'' in 1985. There were corresponding gender differences in sickness absence with musculoskeletal diagnoses except with the diagnosis "low back pain''. Sick-listing with musculoskeletal diagnoses increased for both women and men from 1985 to 1987, but the increase was consistently much higher for women, especially for younger women.

  • Repeated short-term sick-leave as a possible symptom of psycho-social problems
  • 1984
  • Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Social Medicine. - : SAGE Publications. - 1403-4948 .- 0300-8037. ; 12:4, s. 165-169
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • As part of a research project concerning repeated short-term sick-leave an intensive study has been performed aiming at estimating the frequency and character of psycho-social problems in a population with a minimum of six short sick spells during a 12-month period, in comparison with an age- and sex-matched sample of patients who went to the local general practitioner in the same area. The results show that psycho-social problems are twice as common in the group with repeated short-term sick-leave.

  • Sickness absence due to musculoskeletal diagnoses: association with occupational gender segregation.
  • 2004
  • Ingår i: Scandinavian journal of public health. - : SAGE Publications. - 1403-4948 .- 1651-1905. ; 32:2, s. 94-101
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BACKGROUND: Musculoskeletal disorders represent a considerable public health problem and the most common diagnoses behind sickness absence and disability pensions. However, little is known about how sickness absence with these diagnoses varies with the strong gender segregation of the labour market. AIMS: A study was undertaken to investigate the association between musculoskeletal-related sickness absence and occupational gender segregation. METHODS: The study was population based, and included all new sick-leave spells exceeding seven days due to musculoskeletal diagnoses, comprising neckl shoulder pain, low back pain, and osteoarthritis in Ostergötland county, Sweden, which has 393,000 inhabitants (5%, of the national population). The participants were all sick-leave insured employed persons in Ostergötland (n = 182,663) in 1985. RESULTS: Cumulative incidence of musculoskeletal-related sickness absence (>7 days) was higher for women (7.5%, 95% confidence interval [C.I.] 7.3-7.7) than for men, (5.8%, C.I. 5.6-5.9), and the same was true for the mean number of sick-leave days (women 81, C.I. 78-83; men 65, C.I. 63-68). Grouping occupations according to degree of numerical gender segregation revealed the highest incidence and duration of sickness absence for women in male-dominated occupations. For both genders, the lowest cumulative incidence and duration occurred in gender-integrated occupations. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate a strong association between occupational gender segregation and musculoskeletal-related sickness absence. Further studies are needed to elucidate gender segregation of the labour market in relation to health and rehabilitation measures.
