Abstract

Research on sickness absence, emanating from different theoretical perspectives and questions, is carried out within several different scientific disciplines. Studies are often based on explanatory models addressing the causes of sickness absence. Here, a brief summary of the various approaches and explanatory models used in sickness-absence research is presented. Also explanatory models for changes over time in sickness absence are briefly discussed.
