Description

Auto-translated from no

The collaborative project Sustainable Sick Leave (BS) is part of AID's work on following up the Agreement on Reduced Sickness Absence and Dropout from Working Life (IA Agreement). The collaborative project is anchored in the state budget (Chapter 601, item 75 Grants for sustainable sick leave) and annual allocations from AID to The Norwegian Medical Association. With this procurement, the contracting authority wishes to implement an evaluation project aimed at both mapping the effects/results of the measures in the collaborative project BS, while also mapping and assessing the efforts and activities in the collaborative project. Reporting during the process shall contribute to the measures potentially being adjusted. The procurement relates to work on following up sick-listed individuals and particularly the interaction between general practitioners and patients. The collaborative project shall strengthen the general practitioner's role in sickness absence work and increase health literacy in the population. The project involves initiating measures directed at both general practitioners and patients. The measures include both awareness-raising and training measures for general practitioners regarding their sick leave practices, and measures to increase patients' awareness and understanding of sickness absence. The goal is to improve the collaboration between doctor and patient regarding sick leave, thereby contributing to fewer, shorter, and better-adapted sick leave certificates, including increased use of graded sick leave certificates. There is a need for knowledge that maps the activities in the collaborative project, whether the measures are considered relevant in consultations with the sick-listed, whether the measures have an effect on general practitioners' sick leave practices, and whether general practitioners experience improved collaboration with the sick-listed, employers, and the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration, and whether their role and responsibility in sickness absence follow-up have become clearer. There is also a need for knowledge about whether the collaborative project has contributed to reduced sickness absence. The collaborative project is a development project where ongoing feedback is relevant (process evaluation). Based on the knowledge gained and dialogue with the collaborative project, there is a need for procedural assistance in assessing whether the collaborative project should adjust its approaches and activities.
