Abstract

Veterans living with mental health conditions have ambitious career goals and want support to find employment that meets their interests and preferences. Despite calls from researchers to "invest" and "commit" to career development research and practice for individuals living with psychiatric conditions, we still do not have empirically tested models for facilitating career development among individuals with mental health conditions, especially veterans. This qualitative study investigates the career development needs and recommended intervention strategies of veterans living with mental health conditions. Vocational counselors from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and veterans receiving vocational rehabilitation services (N = 13) participated in semi-structured focus groups. Findings illuminate the tasks, barriers, interventions, implementation strategies, and transitional work context that hinder and support career development of veterans with mental health conditions. Findings offer theoretical and applied guidance to researchers and counselors regarding career development of veterans living with mental health conditions.

过渡性工作环境下的职业发展:退伍军人和职业咨询师的质性调查。

患有精神疾病的退伍军人有雄心勃勃的职业目标，他们希望得到帮助，找到符合他们兴趣和偏好的工作。尽管研究人员呼吁对精神疾病患者的职业发展研究和实践进行“投资”和“承诺”，但我们仍然没有经过实证检验的模型来促进精神疾病患者，特别是退伍军人的职业发展。本研究旨在探讨有心理健康问题的退伍军人的职业发展需求及建议干预策略。来自退伍军人健康管理局(VHA)的职业辅导员和接受职业康复服务的退伍军人(N = 13)参加了半结构化的焦点小组。研究结果阐明了阻碍和支持退伍军人心理健康问题职业发展的任务、障碍、干预措施、实施策略和过渡性工作环境。研究结果为退伍军人心理健康问题的研究人员和心理咨询师的职业发展提供了理论和应用指导。
