abstract: 'BACKGROUND: People with spinal cord injuries (SCI) are underrepresented
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the labour force.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OBJECTIVE: To examine the meaning of employment, as it is understood in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the context of participation and integration in society, among persons
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with SCI in six European countries. We ask how SCI relates to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment, for the functions of employment, alternatives to employment,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and its obstacles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
METHOD: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 74 persons and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
qualitatively analysed using a grounded theory approach.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RESULTS: Employment was ranked as very important independent of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participants current employment status. We identified three main
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
functions of employment: 1) employment contributes to the creation of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
personal and collective identity and social recognition; 2) employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
enables structuring of time and distracts from impairment and pain; 3)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment is as an important social arena that facilitates interaction
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with other people. Voluntary work and domestic work did not fully
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
replace the social functions of employment, nor correspond to the design
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of the disability compensation systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONCLUSION: This study illustrates the high value of employment and a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
need to pay more attention to a broader range of productive work. It
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
also reveals the interdependencies between employment status and income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mediated by the disability compensation schemes.'
