Self-stigma and fears of employment among adults with psychiatric disabilities / Emily Hielscher in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.80 Issue 12 (December 2017)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.80 Issue 12 (December 2017) . - p. 699-706 Titre : Self-stigma and fears of employment among adults with psychiatric disabilities Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Emily Hielscher ; Geoff Waghorn Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : p. 699-706 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : emploi  psychiatrie Résumé : Introduction Although mental illness stigma has been extensively investigated, it is not known whether stigma experiences increase general fears of employment and impact on employment goals and on attaining employment. The aims of this study were to develop and trial brief measures of employment values and employment fears that could be used to further investigate any impacts of community stigma on personal employment goals. Method The psychometric properties of a new Employment Fears Scale and an Employment Values Scale were examined over a 2–4-week period, following repeated administration to 25 adult community residents with severe mental illness. Concurrent validity with respect to experiences of stigma, self-stigma, and current and previous employment were also examined. Results Employment fears and employment values can be reliably measured. Employment fears were more closely related to self-stigma than either current employment or employment over the previous year. Conclusion The Employment Fears Scale in particular appears to be useful for investigating stigma-related barriers to employment among people with psychiatric disabilities. Occupational therapists can use these tools to explore how those fears might be reduced through tailored interventions aiming to improve an individual’s employment prospects in vocational rehabilitation.

The impact of psychotic disorders and co-morbid substance abuse on vocational rehabilitation: results from an Australian national survey of psychosis / Geoff Waghorn in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.79 N°5 (May 2016)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.79 N°5 (May 2016) . - p. 290-298 Titre : The impact of psychotic disorders and co-morbid substance abuse on vocational rehabilitation: results from an Australian national survey of psychosis Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Geoff Waghorn ; Emily Hielscher ; James Atyeo ; Saha Sukanta Année de publication : 2016 Article en page(s) : p. 290-298 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : addiction  santé mentale  psychose  emploi Résumé : Introduction It is unclear from prior research whether or not substance abuse co-morbid with psychosis is an added barrier to success in vocational rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to examine the relationships among three types of co-morbid substance abuse or dependence, by type of employment assistance received (disability employment services, mainstream unemployment services, other government programmes, and own resources), and by type of employment attained (competitive and non-competitive). Method Data were drawn from the Australian National Survey of High Impact Psychosis (N = 1825). The survey was conducted in seven Australian catchment areas March to December 2010. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression methods were used. Results There were no added effects of lifetime substance abuse or dependence on any employment. However, there were some minor substance-specific effects. Past year cannabis use was negatively associated, while alcohol use was positively associated with being employed. All categories of lifetime substance abuse or dependence were associated with reduced utilisation of intensive forms of employment assistance. Conclusion At a population level, lifetime substance abuse or dependence had no added impact on current employment status. Those with psychosis co-morbid with lifetime substance abuse or dependence could benefit from greater utilisation of evidence-based supported employment.
