abstract: 'BACKGROUND: Joint studies of multiple sclerosis (MS) and spinal cord
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
injury (SCI), both types of spinal cord dysfunction, have identified
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
barriers and facilitators to employment and key outcomes including
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
earnings and job benefits. However, there has been an absence of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
research on satisfaction with employment over one''s career. Such
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
knowledge would help to establish the foundation for targeted vocational
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rehabilitation interventions. as well as differences in quality of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment outcomes, establishing the foundation for targeted vocational
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rehabilitation interventions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OBJECTIVE: Identify and quantify demographic, educational, vocational,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and functional characteristics associated with career satisfaction, a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
quality employment outcome, among people with MS and SCI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
METHODS: There were a total of 3,371 participants, 1,229 with MS and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2,142 with SCI, all of whom were in the traditional working age range (<
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
65 years old). Participants were identified from the Southeastern and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Midwestern regions of the USA and data were collected, processed, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
analyzed at a medical university in the Southeastern USA. Econometric
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
modeling identified factors associated with career satisfaction, as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
defined by a five-item composite scale that was converted to Z-scores,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
integrating analysis using both diagnostic groups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RESULTS: Participants who were gainfully employed and those who had left
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the labor force (unemployed with no hopes to return to work), reported
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
higher career satisfaction than those who were unemployed and hoping to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
return to work. Higher career satisfaction scores were associated with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
more formal education and having worked in management/professional,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
natural resources, or service occupations. Higher scores were also
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
observed among those older, not single, and who had fewer functional
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
deficits. No differences were identified as a function of diagnosis,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
race-ethnicity, sex, or time since injury/diagnosis.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONCLUSION: Career satisfaction was more strongly related to educational
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
attainment, vocational history, and labor force participation, than to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
demographic and disability factors. Vocational counselors should target
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
those still in the labor force for skills development, job retention,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and reacquisition to promote career satisfaction.'
