Zusammenfassung
Seit den 90er-Jahren verändert sich die Arbeitswelt in den industrialisierten Ländern
rasant. Gleichzeitig kommt es zu einer kontinuierlichen Zunahme von Arbeitsunfähigkeit
durch depressive Störungen. Die Beziehung zwischen Arbeit und Depression ist bidirektional:
Arbeit gibt dem Menschen Selbstvertrauen und Anerkennung, aber Stress am Arbeitsplatz
kann auch Auslöser für eine depressive Erkrankung sein. Die Verbindungen zwischen
arbeitsbezogenem Stress und Depression werden in einer kurzen Übersicht dargestellt.
Die Kosten, die durch den Verlust von Arbeitsproduktivität aufgrund einer depressiven
Erkrankung entstehen, sind unterschätzt und wenig bekannt. Bessere Präventions- und
Interventionsstrategien sind zu fordern, um Frühberentungen zu vermeiden und die Wiedereingliederung
am Arbeitsplatz zu verbessern.
Abstract
Since the 1990's there is a change at many workplaces in industrialized countries.
Work related depression emerges as a major cause of long-term sickness. The relationship
between work and depression is bidirectional: work gives acceptance and self-confidence
to the individual but stress at the workplace may precede depression. The relationship
between work-related stress and depressive disorders is shortly reviewed. The underestimated
costs of lost productivity by depression are so impressive that better preventional
and interventional strategies are necessary to reduce early disability payments and
to improve rehabilitation at the workplace.
