People with chronic inflammatory arthritis (IA) (rheumatoid arthritis, axial spondyloarthritis, and psoriatic arthritis), often have a reduced work ability. Up to 40% lose their job in the first years after diagnosis. Consequently, they are at high risk of losing their jobs and being permanently excluded from the labour market. Therefore, a new context-specific vocational rehabilitation (VR) for people with IA was developed, based on the Medical Research Council's framework for complex interventions.

The objective of the WORK-ON trial is to test the overall efficacy on work ability compared to a control group who receives usual care and pamphlets for their employer and colleagues. Based on the experiences from a feasibility study, WORK-ON will be conducted as a randomised controlled trial. Patients with IA, aged 18 years or older, experiencing job insecurity will be randomised to one of two groups: the WORK-ON VR group or usual care (control group). The primary outcome; work ability measured is measured by Work Ability Index single item, at baseline, 6, 12, 18 and 30 months after baseline. Secondary outcomes are ab…
