Requirements and functional Schedule also calen Demand Ability Protocol (DAP) is an intervention that has been tested and found useful in occupational health service. The intervention aims to strengthen the collaboration between Health care, employers and employee. The intervention is based on a structured interview about the employers demands at work. This intervention (DAP) will in the present study be evaluated in pain rehabilitation both qualitatively and quantitatively.
Full description
Description of the intervention: Demand and Ability Protocol Demand and Ability Protocol (DAP) is an intervention linked to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, and is based on the Dutch Functional Ability List and knowledge about disability in working life (Brouwer et al, 2002). The intervention has been further developed and modified in Norway and is primarily used in occupational health care services for collaboration between an employee and his or her immediate manager (Engbers & Furuland, 2006).
The intervention consists of a structured conversation between the patient and his immediate manager under the guidance of licensed medical staff (in this case REKO) with knowledge of the requirements of the patient's work and his/her current functional ability. The intervention takes about 90 minutes excluding preparation time for REKO.
DAP consider the following domains; 1) mental and cognitive ability, 2) basic skills and social ability, 3) tolerance for physical conditions, 4) ability to work dynamically, 5) ability to work statically and 6) to be able to work certain times.
Based on the above domains, a structured review is made of the balance between requirements and function in current work in order to identify possible adaptations and measures at the workplace. During the intervention, the work requirements and the patient's function/ability are identified on a three-point scale and in domains where the rating of requirements and function/ability does not match, there is thus an imbalance, and here adjustments or changed tasks may be relevant to consider increasing work ability and reducing sick leave. The intervention concludes with a summary of the situation and joint development of appropriate measures/adaptations to promote the patient's RTW. This is documented on a form, which is signed by both the patient and the manage
