WHAT IT FOUND

No findings are reported.

What this paper is

This is a protocol for a systematic realist review. It describes the planned search, inclusion criteria, quality appraisal, data extraction and synthesis for studies of employees with common mental disorders who stay at work or have reduced work performance. It reports that the review process is ongoing and gives no synthesized findings, program theories or practical results, so there is nothing here to change your practice on.

The easy way to misread this

Do not read this as evidence about what helps employees with common mental disorders stay at work. It is a review protocol and reports no synthesized findings.
