The return to work after sick leave due to common mental disorders among young employees: a qualitative interview study with young employees and managers
The study participants identified similar factors that promoted and hindered the return to work process. Young employees need more support from employers and various welfare agencies. Managers need to know more about the return to work process and the responsibility of involved stakeholders. No expressed gender differences were identified.
