“…This is the first study to demonstrate that being in competitive work has a positive influence on the level of psychopathology in people with schizophrenia. This is an important finding especially for those who argue that employment and workrelated stress will lead to decreased mental well-being or even relapse in this group [23][24][25]. By contrast, as already hypothesized by Bush et al [8] being employed may reduce the risk of inpatient admission through its positive effect on the patients' clinical status.…”

“…For instance, lower vocational attainment in psychiatric populations is linked with a range of poor recovery outcomes, such as more days of psychiatric hospitalization and more severe psychiatric symptoms [8,27]. Qualitative research has further highlighted the association between the lack of employment and serious personal consequences; depression, self-pity, self-absorption, higher risk of substance abuse, and feelings of worthlessness are common [30]. Not surprisingly, unemployment in people with mental illness is associated with a higher risk of poverty and a greater reliance on government entitlements and the service system [18].…”

BACKGROUND: Veterans with mental illness often have poor employment outcomes. OBJECTIVE: This mixed-methods study sought to understand and describe Veteran perspectives of factors that impact their work success. METHODS: A sample of 40 employed and unemployed Veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or other severe mental illness (SMI) completed a survey of factors that impact vocational functioning and provided narrative accounts of their most successful and challenging work experiences. RESULTS: Personal motivation, self-efficacy, work skills, interpersonal issues, health, and cognitive problems were rated as most impactful on work. There were no significant differences on ratings of work factors based on employment status. Veterans with PTSD reported significantly more barriers to work success compared with Veterans with SMI, notably, cognitive problems, physical health, and psychological stress. Veterans with SMI were more likely to receive VA vocational services and rated this assistance as beneficial to work success. Narrative findings corroborated the survey results, and yielded additional factors, including economic factors, person/job fit, and Veteran-specific issues. CONCLUSIONS: Several factors substantially impact work success in Veterans with mental illness. Veterans with PTSD and SMI experience a distinct set of barriers and facilitators, suggesting the need for tailoring clinical and rehabilitative services.

“…At an adequate level, the person can be better prepared to accept the challenges and turn obstacles that may arise in a certain job into stimuli. Some experts suggest that the structure provided by the habit of going to work and by the work environment can help to combat the symptoms of the disease [28]. In addition, employment provides opportunities to develop alternative social relationships outside of the mental health community [29,30] that can make people feel better.…”

We consulted different electronic databases from 1998 to December 2015 and conducted a specific review of selfesteem components of the studies in relation to non-vocational outcomes with an Individual Placement and Support (IPS) strategy. We reviewed a total of 363 references, 83 were selected and 14 included: 9 randomized clinical trials, 1 systematic review and 4 comparative studies. We analysed the methodological quality of each of these studies using the Jadad, the Oxman and the Estabrooks scales. The findings on effectiveness in relation to non-vocational outcomes are not consistent and the evidence is still very weak.
