“…Our results are in accordance with a recent meta-analysis on participants in supported employment programs [50] showing that age and education were not associated with a better occupational functioning in schizophrenia, whereas some authors have identified a correlation between younger age and/or advanced education and better vocational functioning [51][52][53][54][55][56][57]. Second, employment was significantly associated with verbal memory, general psychopathology, and awareness of mental illness.…”

Taken together, these findings confirmed the importance of cognitive function in obtaining competitive employment. Our results also highlighted the independent role of general psychopathology and awareness of illness on occupational functioning in schizophrenia. Thus, a greater attention must be given to the systematic investigation of insight and general psychopathology in light of an amelioration of vocational functioning in stable schizophrenia.

“…Accordingly, some researchers suggest that vocational rehabilitation should support clients' completion of secondary and post-secondary education (Burke-Miller et al 2006). Employment History Relatively consistent in the literature is the finding that work history predicts vocational success (Catty et al 2008;Cook et al 2008;Tsang et al 2000). Clients who worked in the past benefited more from SE than clients who had no employment histories (Blitz and Mechanic 2006;Burke-Miller et al 2006;Xie et al 1997).…”

Supported employment is an evidence-based practice with a well-established research base. Most studies track such outcomes as employment rates, time to employment and wages earned. Few studies address client and contextual factors that impact outcomes or consider program elements beyond those that comprise the individual placement and support model. This paper reviews existing literature to shed light on the following questions: (1) What impact do labour market trends have on the effectiveness of SE? (2) How lasting are the effects of SE and what factors influence longevity of SE effects? (3) What levels and types of employment are targeted by SE? (4) What are the characteristics of people who benefit from SE? (5) What is the role of peer support in SE? and (6) What are the barriers to effective SE implementation? Research findings are synthesized and suggestions for service enhancements are offered so that the model can continue to evolve.

“…In the IPS SE literature, integration is a key element of treatment fidelity and has been shown to be among the best predictors of employment outcomes change [38]. Data suggesting that other clinical services, service providers, and friends and families can play a key role in supporting or discouraging a return to employment underline the importance of interventions that coordinate closely with other services and communicate with the participant's larger social network [39].…”

Abstract-As the field of vocational services (VS) research matures, it is necessary to review its progress and identify any important gaps in measurement and methodology that may hamper future efforts. To encourage progress, we have identified (1) ways to increase consistency in measuring employment outcomes, (2) emerging patterns and lingering gaps in the range of variables and measures commonly used in VS research, (3) broader methodological patterns and needs in the area of study design and sampling, (4) interventions that warrant additional study, and (5) broad strategies to increase the overall amount and quality of VS research. The goal of this article is to assist the field in achieving clearer coherence in shared expectations and standards for research so that the field can consolidate its gains as it helps people successfully return to rewarding jobs in the community.
