Background: Employment has many benefits for patients with schizophrenia, not only reducing their economic burden but also improving their health and quality of life. However, there are many obstacles to employment for patients with schizophrenia.
Objective: To understand the current status of occupational
rehabilitation in patients with schizophrenia and provide reference opinions
for their clinical treatment and rehabilitation.
Method: A literature search is used to organize 77
influential articles from the past 30 years. The employment status, vocational
rehabilitation status, and main models of schizophrenia patients were analyzed,
and the advantages and disadvantages of several vocational rehabilitation
models were compared. Based on this, research prospects were proposed.
Results: As a result, the employment rate of patients with
schizophrenia is only 10%-20%. Vocational rehabilitation work is widely carried
out abroad and effectively promotes the employment of patients. However, it is
still in its infancy in China, mainly focusing on preliminary skills training
and protective employment, with limited development of competitive employment.
Conclusion: Vocational rehabilitation has many benefits for
patients with schizophrenia, and competitive employment is the latest trend in
occupational rehabilitation for schizophrenia patients worldwide. In the
future, vocational rehabilitation work should pay attention to both vocational
skills training and supportive employment services, and provide diversified vocational
rehabilitation services for patients.
