Only one study contained intervention, but that was non-controlled (retrospective).
Group assignment was concealed for calling staff for the baseline and second follow-up questionnaire (week 73), but not for the first follow-up questionnaire (week 47) because this questionnaire also contained intervention process questions.
Table 3 summarizes the studies retrieved containing interventions for improving antibiotic use in hospital care.
For PTSD, exposure-in-vivo containing interventions can yield better work-related and anxiety-related outcomes compared to a waiting-list but not better compared to imaginal exposure.
This study systematically reviews the effectiveness of exposure-in-vivo containing interventions in reducing work-related adverse outcomes in workers with anxiety disorders.
For OCD, exposure-in-vivo containing interventions can yield better work-related outcomes compared to medication (SSRIs) and relaxation but not better compared to response prevention.
Exposure-in-vivo containing interventions can improve work functioning in workers with OCD and PTSD better compared to various other anxiety treatments or a waiting-list.
Within each of these boxes the specific types of interventions in each category have been listed, for example the GP education typology contains interventions targeting training sessions, peer feedback, and provision of guidelines.
In future research, priority should be given to high-quality randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in which exposure-in-vivo containing interventions are applied to a variety of anxiety disorders and compared with other clinical anxiety treatments such as SSRIs.
