Article Synopsis
- Chronic inflammatory arthritis significantly impacts work ability, putting individuals at risk of job loss, prompting the development of the "WORK-ON" vocational rehabilitation program for those affected.
- The program includes assessments by occupational therapists, coordinated healthcare support, group peer sessions, and tailored consultations to assist participants.
- A 6-month feasibility study with 19 participants showed promising signs of improvement in work ability, quality of life, and physical activity, indicating that WORK-ON could be an effective intervention.
Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the effectiveness of social-support-based weight-loss interventions in adult populations with excess weight or obesity.
Methods: We performed a systematic review of randomized controlled trials that reported on the effectiveness of weight-loss interventions which incorporated a social connectedness component. To this end, we conducted a rigorous database search of MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Cochrane, and PubMed for relevant articles.
Background: People with inflammatory arthritis often experience challenges at work and balancing paid work and energy in everyday life. Low work ability is common, and people with inflammatory arthritis face high risks of losing their jobs and permanent exclusion from the labour market. Context-specific tailored rehabilitation targeting persons with inflammatory arthritis is limited.

Aim: We explore the perceived challenges at work and identify the need for professional support among Danish people with IA.
Materials/methods: Individual explorative interviews based on a hermeneutic approach.
Purpose To present an overview of the evidence of the effect of job loss prevention interventions, aiming to improve work ability and decrease absenteeism and/or job loss in persons with inflammatory arthritis (IA). Method A systematic literature search in the databases PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO and the Cochrane Library was conducted.
