Informing a Workplace Self-Management Intervention for Employees with Long-Term Health Conditions and Disabilities: A Mixed-Methods Study.
Article in Journal of occupational rehabilitation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeNo practical, scalable framework currently exists for UK workplaces to support self-management of LTCs/disabilities in collaboration with employers and health systems. This study aimed to understand the essential components of a workplace-based intervention to support self-management for individuals with long-term health conditions and disabilities to inform the development of a new intervention to support self-management.
methodsA multi-step, mixed methods approach was used. Obstacles and facilitators to workplace self-management were identified from prior research were translated into guided activities for multi-stakeholder workshops (workers, managers, employer stakeholders, ICS, professional bodies, charities, and trade unions). The participants discussed each obstacle/facilitator in groups either online or in-person workshops. Workshop findings informed a three-round electronic Delphi study was conducted. Reflexive inductive thematic analysis was conducted for the workshop findings and SPSS was utilised for the Delphi findings.
resultsTwelve obstacles and facilitators were identified and discussed in the workshops. Three themes were generated for the support needs of the workers, two for managers, and three for employer stakeholders from the workshops. At the end of the Delphi, 13 out of 14 statements reached consensus for intervention delivery, and 54 out of 59 statements reached consensus for intervention content.
conclusionConsensus supported the development of a co-designed, flexible and multi-format intervention tailored to workers with a long-term health condition or disability, managers and employer stakeholders. Active engagement with diverse organisational stakeholders is likely to improve uptake and consistency.
