Description

The employment rate of people with mental disabilities is still very low. Although there is currently a growing interest in vocational interventions for them. Vocational intervention programs and a system for them have not yet been sufficiently established. In particular, a remaining problem is that effects of such programs have not been examined, even through the programs have already been put into practice. In the present research, a program based on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focused on Social Skills Training and Psychoeducation, was implemented with 4 men and 2 women with mental or developmental disabilities, in order to measure effects of the program. The results suggest that the program was effective, because the participant's mental health degree (GHQ30) self-efficacy scores (Standardized Self-Efficacy Scale) improved. On the other hand, a difference in effectiveness was found in relation to the category of disability, which suggests that programs may have to be designed in relation to type of disability. The specific cause of the results obtained could not be definitively identified, because the program was implemented as a package. In future research, program content should be carefully selected, and the order of effects examined.
