ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called "Photo-supported Conversations About Well-being," is exploring how using photos can help people with stress disorders improve their overall well-being. The study compares two groups: one that receives standard care plus special conversations supported by their own photos, and a control group that only gets the usual care. The aim is to see how this photo-based method affects important aspects like exhaustion, daily life balance, client satisfaction, and overall quality of life.

To participate, individuals aged 20 to 67 who are experiencing stress-related disorders and are currently on sick leave or at risk of being on sick leave may be eligible. However, those with severe physical or mental health issues, or difficulties in understanding or answering questions, cannot take part. Participants in the photo-supported group will engage in 12 sessions over about 12-15 weeks, where they will take pictures related to their well-being and discuss them with a therapist. Throughout the study, participants will complete questionnaires and interviews to share their experiences and assess how well the intervention works. The trial has been approved by an ethics board, ensuring it meets safety standards.
