Similar work demands, similar problem solving, but more self-regulation problems in employees with mental disorders as compared to others.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Sick leave due to mental disorders is a world-wide problem. The key issue for work ability is a good person-job-fit, i. e., work demands and coping capacities must fit together. Employees with mental disorders perceive similar work demands like mentally healthy employees, but have problems with work-coping. Until now it is not well described which concrete work-coping and problem-solving capacities are similar or different in employees with and without mental disorders.A convenience sample of 372 employed people from heterogenous professions (average age 39 years, range 18-66, 55% female, 30.9% mental disorders) filled in an online questionnaire. Participants were asked about work-related characteristics and socio-demographics, mental disorders, and filled in self-rating questionnaires on psychological capacities (Mini-ICF-APP-S), work demands (Mini-ICF-APP-W), work anxiety (WPS), work coping (JoCoRi) and problem solving (12-WD scale).Employees with and without mental disorders described similar work demand levels. Employees with mental disorders perceived themselves weaker in nine out of thirteen psychological capacity dimensions, reported higher work-anxiety, lower person-job-fit, and longer sick leave duration. Employees with mental disorders were weaker in self-regulation, i. e., stress and symptom management. In contrast, there were no differences in general problem solving: both groups were similarly convinced about their ability to handle tasks, colleagues and supervisors.Support for employees with mental health problems (in prevention and reintegration) should be directed to their individual specific needs. Education in self-regulation of problems might be more in need than general problem solving education.
