Our research

UGot ReWork conducts research on return to work among people with mental ill-health, such as depression, anxiety, and reactions to severe stress, as well as musculoskeletal disorders. Our research is grounded in an interdisciplinary approach and carried out through cross-disciplinary collaboration.

UGot ReWork investigates which individuals are at risk of developing long-term sickness absence and may therefore need support from employers and healthcare services during the return-to-work process. This also includes studies of how the organisation of health care affects return-to-work interventions, as well as collaboration between key stakeholders such as healthcare services, employers, and the Swedish Social Insurance Agency.
