abstract: 'Background: Social and environmental participation endeavors are
|
|
|
|
theorized to shape one''s general satisfaction with the overall
|
|
|
|
employment situation facing people with MS.
|
|
|
|
Objective: Responding to a national survey of the employment concerns of
|
|
|
|
Americans with multiple sclerosis (MS), this study examined the extent
|
|
|
|
to which factors at the demographic, disease-related, and social and
|
|
|
|
environmental participation levels contribute to the predictability
|
|
|
|
power for general satisfaction with the employment situation for people
|
|
|
|
with MS.
|
|
|
|
Method: Participants in this study consisted of 1,149 members of nine
|
|
|
|
National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) chapters representing 21
|
|
|
|
states and Washington, DC. In a hierarchical multiple regression
|
|
|
|
analysis, participants were mostly older (average age of 50 years) White
|
|
|
|
(74\%) individuals, nearly half of whom were unemployed (47\%) but well
|
|
|
|
educated (98\% were high school graduates, 45\% were college graduates).
|
|
|
|
Findings: Findings underscore the complexity involved in predicting how
|
|
|
|
satisfied people with MS are with their overall employment situation.
|
|
|
|
Conclusions: Younger, less educated individuals with higher levels of
|
|
|
|
perceived quality of life who were employed full-time and experiencing
|
|
|
|
no or lower levels of cognitive impairment were more likely than other
|
|
|
|
participants to be satisfied with 17 high-priority employment concerns.'
