Health and Work Ability Following Inpatient Treatment for Stress-related Disorders - Follow-up Study of the HARMODI Cohort

6 sierpnia 2026 zaktualizowane przez: Clinica Holistica Engiadina
When treating stress-related conditions, it is important to understand how health and work ability develop over the long term. In our research project, we aim, firstly, to investigate how health and work ability develop over the three years following inpatient treatment, and, secondly, to identify the factors that influence a return to work and work ability. Former inpatients undergoing treatment for stress-related disorders who took part in the HARMODI-study will be invited to complete online questionnaires up to three years after their discharge from the clinic. The online questionnaires contain questions regarding current work ability, mental and physical health as well as the process of return to work after discharge.

Szczegółowy opis

Burnout and depression are associated with substantial personal suffering as well as high societal and economic costs due to prolonged sick leave and reduced productivity. While inpatient multimodal treatment is effective in reducing symptoms at discharge, less is known about long-term mental and physical health, occupational functioning, and return to work (RTW). Existing evidence suggests that mental and physical health generally improve following treatment, but nevertheless symptoms often persist in the long term. Moreover, there is limited evidence on RTW after inpatient treatment, particularly regarding long-term trajectories and relapse. A better understanding of predictive indicators of work ability and RTW after treatment is therefore required.

To address this gap, this follow-up study of the HARMODI cohort aims to investigate psychophysiological health, work ability, and RTW up to three years after treatment at the Clinica Holistica Engiadina. By combining self-reported outcomes with previously assessed post-treatment cardiorespiratory fitness, HRV, and cognitive function, this study provides a comprehensive perspective on long-term recovery. The findings aim to inform the optimization of treatment programs and support public health policymaking.

This study is a monocentric retrospective longitudinal exploratory cohort study conducted at the Clinica Holistica Engiadina.Questionnaire data on psychophysiological health, RTW, and work ability will be assessed from former study participants of the HARMODI study (No. 2022-01871) up to three years after discharge from inpatient treatment. In addition, existing data from the HARMODI study will be used to investigate potential associations between time to RTW and post-treatment changes in depression severity, cardiorespiratory fitness, HRV, and cognitive function.

All former HARMODI participants who did not withdraw informed consent will be invited to comple online questionnaires up to three years after their discharge from the clinic.

Trajectories of work ability
Ramy czasowe: Retrospective rating at follow-up: work ability from one up to 25 months after discharge from the clinic
Participants will rate their work ability, respectively, sick leave from one up to 25 months after discharge from the clinic on a 10-point Likert scale ranging from 0 incapacity to work to 10 fully able to work.
Retrospective rating at follow-up: work ability from one up to 25 months after discharge from the clinic
Work ability at follow-up
Ramy czasowe: Up to three years after discharge
Work ability will be self-rated up to three years after discharge using the first item of the Work Ability Index (Hasselhorn & Freude, 2007; Tuomi et al., 1998), named the work ability score. The work ability score assesses the subjective estimation of one's present work ability compared with one's lifetime best and has been proven to be a simple, valid, and distinctive indicator to assess work ability (Ahlstrom et al., 2010; Ebener & Hasselhorn, 2019; Kinnunen & Nätti, 2018; Mokarami et al., 2022), with higher scores reflecting more favourable work ability.
Up to three years after discharge
Symptom burden at follow-up
Ramy czasowe: Up to three years after discharge
Somatic, depression, and anxiety symptoms will be self-rated up to three years after discharge using the German version of the 18-item version (BSI-18) (Spitzer et al., 2011) of the 53-item Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) (Geisheim et al., 2002). Participants will rate their symptom severity on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 not at all to 4 very strongly, during the past seven days. Somatic, depression, and anxiety symptoms are each rated with six items, summarized to a global severity index, with higher scores indicating higher symptom burden (Spitzer et al., 2011).
Up to three years after discharge
Sleep quality at follow-up
Ramy czasowe: Up to three years after discharge
Sleep quality of the last month will be self-rated up to three years after discharge using the 6-item Brief Version (Sancho-Domingo et al., 2021) of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (Buysse et al., 1989) (B-PSQI). The B-PSQI is a brief, reliable, and valid measure to assess sleep efficiency, sleep quality, night awakening, hours of sleep, and sleep latency, resulting in a total score ranging from 0 to 15, with higher scores reflecting reduced sleep quality (Sancho-Domingo et al., 2021).
Up to three years after discharge
Physical activity at follow-up
Ramy czasowe: Up to three years after discharge
Physical activity (PA) will be self-rated up to three years after discharge using two adapted items from the short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) (Craig et al., 2003). The adapted items will assess frequency and duration of moderate to vigorous PA during the past 7 days.
Up to three years after discharge
Resilience at follow-up
Ramy czasowe: Up to three years after discharge
Resilience will be self-rated up to three years after discharge using the 2-item abbreviated version (Vaishnavi et al., 2007) of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (Connor & Davidson, 2003) (CD-RISC2). The CD-RISC2 is a brief measure of resilience with sound psychometric properties (Vaishnavi et al., 2007). Participants will be asked to rate how well they were able to adapt to change, respectively, tend to bounce back after illness or hardship during the past month, on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 not true at all to 4 almost always true, with higher scores indicating greater resilience.

Ramy czasowe
Cardiorespiratory fitness during inpatient treatment
Ramy czasowe: Baseline and end of inpatient treatment (up to 8 weeks).
Cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed during the HARMODI study with the submaximal Åstrand-Ryhming Test to calculate maximal oxygen uptake VO2max in ml/kg/min.
Baseline and end of inpatient treatment (up to 8 weeks).
Exhaustion during inpatient treatment
Ramy czasowe: Baseline and end of inpatient treatment (up to 8 weeks).
Exhaustion symptoms were assessed during the HARMODI study at baseline and end of inpatient treatment (up to 8 weeks) using the German version of the 9-item short form (Kopp et al., 1998; Schnorpfeil et al., 2002) of the original 21-item Maastricht Vital Exhaustion Questionnaire (MVEQ) (Appels et al., 1987). Participants reported whether they feel exhausted 0 (no), 1 (uncertain) and 2 (yes), with total scores 4-10 indicating mild, 11-14 substantial and 15-18 severe vital exhaustion (Kopp et al., 1998).
Baseline and end of inpatient treatment (up to 8 weeks).
Depression during inpatient treatment
Ramy czasowe: Baseline and end of inpatient treatment (up to 8 weeks).
Depression severity was self-rated during the HARMODI study at baseline and end of inpatient treatment (up to 8 weeks) with the German version of the (Wang & Gorenstein, 2013) 21-item Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) (Kühner et al., 2007). Participants were asked to describe their depressive symptoms over the past two weeks on a 4-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 (no presence of a symptom) to 3 (strong presence of a symptom) (Aaron T. Beck et al., 1988), with higher scores indicating worse depression.
Baseline and end of inpatient treatment (up to 8 weeks).
Anxiety during inpatient treatment
Ramy czasowe: Baseline and end of inpatient treatment (up to 8 weeks).
Anxiety symptoms were assessed during the HARMODI study using the German version of the 21-item Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) at baseline and end of inpatient treatment (up to 8 weeks). Participants were asked to rate their anxiety symptoms during the last seven days on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (severely) (Aaron T Beck et al., 1988). The BAI is a user-friendly, valid international used inventory, with total scores 0-7 indicating minimal anxiety, 8-15 mild, 16-25 moderate and 26-63 clinical anxiety (Aaron T Beck et al., 1988; Geissner & Huetteroth, 2018).
Baseline and end of inpatient treatment (up to 8 weeks).

Participants were asked to rate their symptoms during the past seven days on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely), with a higher total score indicating worse symptom severity (Derogatis & Melisaratos, 1983)
Baseline and end of inpatient treatment (up to 8 weeks).
Heart rate variability during inpatient treatment
Ramy czasowe: Baseline and end of inpatient treatment (up to 8 weeks).
Heart rate variability (HRV) was assessed during the HARMODI study at baseline and end of inpatient treatment (up to 8 weeks). Particular focus is on RMSSD in ms, a robust parasympathetic nervous system parameter that is less influenced by body movement and breathing (Fouradoulas et al., 2019; Laborde et al., 2017).
Baseline and end of inpatient treatment (up to 8 weeks).
Cognitive function tests
Ramy czasowe: Baseline and end of inpatient treatment (up to 8 weeks).

Cognitive function was tested with the THINC-it tool during the HARMODI study at baseline and end of inpatient treatment (up to 8 weeks).

THINC-it tool consists of a self-rated questionnaire, the Perceived Deficits Questionnaire (PDQ-5) and variants of four cognitive tests: Choice Reaction Time Identification Task (Spotter), the One-Back Test (Symbol Check), Digit Symbol Substitution Test (Codebreaker) and the Trail Making Test-Part B (Trails) (McIntyre et al., 2017).
