abstract: 'Context/Objective Prolonged unemployment is common for people living
|
|
|
|
with a spinal cord injury or disorder (SCI/D) and can impact negatively
|
|
|
|
on quality of life. The present study examines stakeholder perspectives
|
|
|
|
and experiences with the job search process in order to identify service
|
|
|
|
gaps and return-to-work solutions. Design In-depth semi-structured
|
|
|
|
interviews were thematically analysed, with questions focused on factors
|
|
|
|
that can help or hinder efforts to gain employment. Generated themes
|
|
|
|
were then applied to the Person-Environment-Occupation (PEO) systems
|
|
|
|
model of participation. Setting Community-based disability service
|
|
|
|
provider in South Australia. Participants Purposive sample of persons
|
|
|
|
with SCI/D (n = 8) and rehabilitation professionals (n = 4). Results
|
|
|
|
Person-centred themes were strongly endorsed by both groups and focused
|
|
|
|
on incentives of, and motivation for, employment. Equally important to
|
|
|
|
the job search process were individual expectations and attitudes,
|
|
|
|
particularly job readiness. Environmental facilitators included
|
|
|
|
employers'' positive attitude, although workplace discrimination remained
|
|
|
|
a concern. Occupation-based barriers, rather than opportunities, were
|
|
|
|
identified - namely, difficulties in SCI/D self-management, the need for
|
|
|
|
timely functional assessments, and more opportunities for education,
|
|
|
|
upskilling and retraining. Conclusions The PEO model provides a broad
|
|
|
|
framework to better understand the complex return-to-work process for
|
|
|
|
people with a SCI/D and, potentially, uncover tangible solutions. The
|
|
|
|
suggestion is that vocational rehabilitation should go beyond skills
|
|
|
|
training and include motivational support to enhance job readiness. This
|
|
|
|
must be done on a case-by-case basis. There is also a need for active
|
|
|
|
and covert discrimination to be addressed through employment policies.
|
|
|
|
The findings will be used to develop intervention targets for a newly
|
|
|
|
established vocational rehabilitation service.'
