Description

<p>  Although employment of people with disabilities is promoted, the rate at which people with disabilities lose their jobs is high. Support is required not only to help people with disabilities find employment, but also to help them keep their jobs. A life-career resilience program for people with disabilities was developed and implemented with 46 participants with disabilities (31 men, 15 women; average age 34.83; 93% of whom had been diagnosed with mental disorders) before they began employment, when they were in a transition towards working. Their scores on life career resilience, work motivation, and mental health were compared to the scores on those variables of 48 people with disabilities (22 men, 26 women; average age 35.11; 85% of whom had been diagnosed with mental disorders) who were in the control group. The results suggested that optimism had interaction effects, showing a positive effect of the intervention; however, no significant interaction effects were found with the other variables. These results suggest that participation in this program may have been effective for increasing optimism. The discussion indicated some changes that should be made in implementation of the program in order to reduce risk. Furthermore, an examination of the long-term success and effectiveness of this intervention for assisting people with disabilities to find employment and stability in the workplace is needed.</p>
