[When does StäB (not) Work? A Qualitative, Multi-Perspective Survey on Factors that can Affect the Outcome of Inpatient-Equivalent Home Treatment (IEHT)].

Objective: There are always cases in which an already started inpatient equivalent home treatment is terminated. Aim of our study was to reach a better understanding of the circumstances leading to a termination of IEHT that has already begun.

Methods: 17 qualitative interviews were conducted with patients, relatives as well as practitioners and therapists.

The cost-utility of a return-to-work intervention in comparison to routine care for patients with mental disorders in Germany: Results from the RETURN project.

Background: Only two-thirds of patients admitted to psychiatric wards return to their previous jobs. Return-to-work interventions in Germany are investigated for their effectiveness, but information regarding cost-effectiveness is lacking. This study investigates the cost-utility of a return-to-work intervention for patients with mental disorders compared to treatment as usual (TAU).

[Return-to-Work - The Transition after Psychiatric Inpatient Treatment].

Objectives: Workers on sick-leave due to a mental illness have enormous problems to return to work. The main objective of the present study is to examine, how individuals experience the transition from the mental health system to their workplace.

Methods: A qualitative research design guided by a grounded theory approach was used.

Supporting return to work after psychiatric hospitalization-A cluster randomized study (RETURN-study).

Background: If people with episodic mental-health conditions lose their job due to an episode of their mental illness, they often experience personal negative consequences. Therefore, reintegration after sick leave is critical to avoid unfavorable courses of disease, longer inability to work, long payment of sickness benefits, and unemployment. Existing return-to-work (RTW) programs have mainly focused on "common mental disorders" and often used very elaborate and costly interventions without yielding convincing effects.

How do employees currently admitted to acute psychiatric inpatient units rate their psychosocial working conditions with the COPSOQ (Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire).

Background: In recent years it could be shown that psychosocial working conditions and mental health of employees are closely correlated. One well-established instrument to measure psychosocial stress at work is the COPSOQ (Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire, German Standard Version). It is an 84 item self-rating instrument addressing several domains of psychosocial working conditions and is generally used for risk assessments in companies.

Return-to-work interventions for persons/employees with mental illnesses.

Purpose Of Review: Mental illnesses are among the most common diseases worldwide. Cases of inability to work caused by mental illness are frequent and the related economic burden is immense. A successful reintegration into their work environment of those patients who were on sick leave due to a mental illness is an important prognostic factor for the further course of the disease and helps reducing financial consequences.

[Development of a Return-to-work Intervention for Psychiatric Inpatients].

Objective: Patients with mental illnesses often face difficulties when returning to workplace after an episode of inpatient treatment. Available resources intended to support the return-to-work process are often not used. It was the aim of the present study to develop an intervention that facilitates the implementation of patient support at the interface of in- and outpatient care.

Disclosure Management When Returning to Work After a Leave of Absence Due to Mental Illness.

People with mental illness must often decide the extent to which they want to disclose their mental illness publicly. Especially in the context of work, this is a complex and individual decision. This Open Forum discusses the importance of well-reasoned disclosure management to increase the chances of successful workplace reintegration after a leave of absence due to a mental illness.

Return-to-work-experts for inpatient treatment of patients with mental illnesses- a proof-of-concept-study (RETURN): the study protocol.

Background: Patients with mental illnesses often have massive difficulties returning to work after inpatient treatment at a psychiatric clinic and are often at risk of losing their jobs. The psychosocial support for this patient group at the interface of clinic/outpatient care is often insufficient.

Methods/design: The RETURN-study prospectively assesses and surveys 200 patients with mental disorders in a cluster randomized intervention study, i.

Hyperscanning: A Valid Method to Study Neural Inter-brain Underpinnings of Social Interaction.

Social interactions are a crucial part of human life. Understanding the neural underpinnings of social interactions is a challenging task that the hyperscanning method has been trying to tackle over the last two decades. Here, we review the existing literature and evaluate the current state of the hyperscanning method.

Impacts of species richness on productivity in a large-scale subtropical forest experiment.

Biodiversity experiments have shown that species loss reduces ecosystem functioning in grassland. To test whether this result can be extrapolated to forests, the main contributors to terrestrial primary productivity, requires large-scale experiments. We manipulated tree species richness by planting more than 150,000 trees in plots with 1 to 16 species.

rBEFdata: documenting data exchange and analysis for a collaborative data management platform.

We are witnessing a growing gap separating primary research data from derived data products presented as knowledge in publications. Although journals today more often require the underlying data products used to derive the results as a prerequisite for a publication, the important link to the primary data is lost. However, documenting the postprocessing steps of data linking, the primary data with derived data products has the potential to increase the accuracy and the reproducibility of scientific findings significantly.

Tree diversity promotes insect herbivory in subtropical forests of south-east China.

1.Insect herbivory can strongly affect ecosystem processes, and its relationship with plant diversity is a central topic in biodiversity-functioning research. However, very little is known about this relationship from complex ecosystems dominated by long-lived individuals, such as forests, especially over gradients of high plant diversity.
