Doctors have low rates of sickness absence and are reluctant to seek help, especially for mental distress. We examined whether a spell of sickness absence after a counselling intervention could predict reduction in emotional exhaustion among doctors at work 3 years later. Methods: A 3-year follow up after a counselling intervention for burnout at the Resource Centre Villa Sana in Norway in 2003\u201305 was completed by 184\/227 doctors. Self-report assessments were administered at baseline, 1-, and 3-years. The effect of number of weeks of sickness absence on reduction in emotional exhaustion among doctors working 3 years after the intervention was assessed by linear regression. Results: Of the 184 doctors completing assessment, 149 were working at 3-year follow up. Emotional exhaustion (scale 1\u20135) was significantly reduced at follow up (from 3.00\u00b10.96 to 2.37\u00b10.79, p&lt;0.001). The number of weeks of sickness absence after the intervention was a significant positive predictor of this reduction (\u03b2=0.31, p&lt;0.001), also after including sex, age, neuroticism, reduction of work hours, and other forms for treatment in the model. Conclusions: The number of weeks of sickness absence after a counselling intervention for burnout had a positive predictive effect on reduction in emotional exhaustion among doctors at work 3 years later. Sick leave thus seems to \u201cprevent\u201d later burnout, which can be of importance both for their patients and for the doctors themselves. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1403494812443607","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,25]],"date-time":"2012-05-25T22:31:39Z","timestamp":1337985099000},"page":"278-285","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Will sick leave after a counselling intervention prevent later burnout?
