“…Although the CWMEE-Employed theorized a five-factor model (including two factors within the preparation phase), our results identified a four-factor model. This outcome is consistent with previous research that identified three to four factors with varied stages of change scales developed for people with a range of disabilities who were unemployed [ 19 , 20 , 36 ].…”

(1) Background: Secure employment has been recognized as a social determinant of health for people living with HIV (PLHIV), but limited research has been conducted to understand the employment needs and vocational decision-making process of those who are employed. The purpose of this study is to examine the applicability of the client-focused considering-work model to assess the employment outcomes and employment decision-making phases of a sample of employed PLHIV. (2) Methods: This study analyzed data of 244 employed PLHIV who completed National Working Positive Coalition’s Employment Needs Survey which included a 20-item Considering Work Scale-Employed version (CWS-Employed) and a single-item Classification of Employment Status Scale (CESS). Factor analysis was used to evaluate the CWS-Employed. Chi-square tests of homogeneity of proportions were conducted to assess the domain-specific needs of individuals in each phase of employment decision-making. (3) Results: Our findings revealed high rates of insecure employment and diverse vocational service needs among research participants. Additionally, the CWS-Employed accurately predicted 71% of the self-reported classification of phases of employment decision-making. (4) Conclusions: When investigating the role of employment as a social determinant of health, more research is needed to better understand the vocational needs and outcomes of PLHIV who are working. Improving the measurement of the phases of employment decision-making is needed to better identify appropriate vocational interventions that can lead to improved employment and related health outcomes for this population.

“…The SOC model (Prochaska & DiClemente, 1983; Prochaska, DiClemente, & Norcorss, 1992) provides a comprehensive framework for intentional behavioral change of individuals with disabilities (Chou, Chan, & Tsang, 2004; Chou, Ditchman, Pruett, Chan, & Hunter, 2009; Strauser, 2013). This model has been widely used in vocational rehabilitation research to differentiate various cognitive and behavioral processes that occur in the intentional change process for target behavior including employment (Bezyak, Berven, & Chan, 2011; Chan, Miller, Lee, Pruett, & Chou, 2004; Da Silva Cardoso, Chan, Berven, & Thomas, 2003; Gervey, 2010; Strauser, 2013). The SOC model has five distinct stages, including (a) precontemplation (unawareness or denial of the problem), (b) contemplation (awareness of the problem and of the desired behavior change), (c) preparation (intention to take action), (d) action (practicing the desired behavior), and (e) maintenance (working to sustain the behavior).…”

“…The URICA's validity has been demonstrated in numerous studies (e.g., DiClemente & Hughes, 1990; Dozois, Westra, Collins, Fung, & Garry, 2004; McConnaughy, DiClemente, Prochaska, & Velicer, 1989; Polaschek, Anstiss, & Wilson, 2010). Further, URICA versions with special items for vocational counseling (Gervey, 2010) and domestic violence (Levesque, Gelles, & Velicer, 2000) are available, as well as a Chinese version (Chan, Chan, Siu, & Poon, 2007). A German version has been validated for patients with drinking problems (Fecht, Heidenreich, Hoyer, Lauterbach, & Schneider, 1998; Heidenreich, Hoyer, & Fecht, 2003; Hoyer, Heidenreich, Fecht, Lauterbach, & Schneider, 2003).…”

The study aimed at constructing a time-efficient short version of the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment (URICA), and at exploring differences in the stages of change between patients with depression, somatoform disorders, and eating disorders across the course of therapy. The URICA and diverse outcome measures were administered to 253 patients in early-, middle-, and late stages of inpatient therapy. The factor structure of the short form of the URICA (URICA-S) was excellent as shown by (1) an exploratory factor analysis on a randomized one-half of the sample, (2) a confirmatory factor analysis on the other half of the sample, and (3) a stable factor structure over a 6-week interval. The resulting factors of the URICA-S were called precontemplation, contemplation, action, and maintenance. The internal consistencies of the URICA-S factors were sufficient to excellent. Supporting the criterion-related validity, the URICA-S predicted relevant outcome measures. Analyses of variance showed that the ratings on the action and the maintenance factors were differentially associated with outcome in patients with depression, somatoform disorders, and eating disorders. These findings implicate that a disorder-specific combination of action and relapse-prevention-oriented interventions might optimize outcome in inpatients with different psychiatric disorders.
