Paula Bergman is a PhD student in Welfare and Social Sciences at the School of Health and Welfare. In her doctoral project, she studies the effects and sustainability of a new rehabilitation program based on participation in creative arts activities, called Creative Arts Rehabilitation (C.A.R.)

C.A.R. is offered by referral from primary care to people on sick leave due to commom mental disorders (CMD) and / or musculoskeletal pain.

The overall aim of the dissertation is to study whether C.A.R. can contribute to increased well-being, reduced sick leave and increased return to work for individuals in the target group.

The dissertation comprises studies using both qualitative and quantitative methods.
