The occupation-based intervention REDO™-10: Long-term impact on work ability for women at risk for or on sick leave

Figures & data

Figure 1. The sessions included in the ReDO10-program and some examples of content.^aExploring personally meaningful occupations throughout each participant’s life i.e. occupations they have stopped doing, and occupations they would like to do or re-introduce in their life. ^bDeparting from a diary, made the day before (homework) group participants explore how they use their time and their patterns of daily occupation. ^cIdentifying hassles and uplifts in daily life. Sharing in group. ^dSeminar: Occupational value. Discussion of goals. Group exercise on setting short-term goals and prioritizing goals. ^eTo introduce significant others to key principles of the program and the processes of change that participants are working with (Preferably evening time).
