Area of Science:

  • Public health
  • Occupational medicine
  • Mental health interventions

Background:

  • Stress is an increasing public health concern in Denmark.
  • Current public stress treatment options are fragmented and lack evidence of effectiveness.
  • Interventions are often locally provided with varying content and access.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current landscape of stress treatment options in Denmark.
  • To evaluate the evidence for the effectiveness of existing interventions.
  • To identify gaps and recommend future research directions.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of existing literature and Danish data on stress interventions.
  • Analysis of treatment approaches offered by municipalities and occupational medicine.
  • Assessment of international evidence for cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness.

Main Results:

  • Danish data on stress interventions are limited and contradictory.
  • International studies show modest symptom relief from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness.
  • Evidence for impact on sick leave and return to work is uncertain.
  • No national strategy for stress management exists in Denmark.

Conclusions:

  • Further research is warranted to identify effective stress management approaches in Denmark.
  • Development of a national strategy for stress treatment is needed.
  • Evidence-based interventions should be prioritized to improve outcomes for individuals experiencing stress.
