摘要

背景:对于智力和发育障碍(IDD)的人来说,成功的综合就业的好处是巨大的。然而,造成缺碘症患者高失业率的障碍,例如对雇主缺乏适当培训和支助不足,仍然普遍存在。确保在工作场所获得技术是支持患有IDD的员工并减轻这些障碍的一种方法。此外,辅助技术可以在职业环境中提供一种简单且具有成本效益的干预措施。目的:在本研究中,我们对IDD成人及其家庭成员进行了一系列焦点小组调查,以探讨IDD患者在职业环境中对技术的使用情况。方法:我们采用定性描述方法来构建研究设计。数据分析采用多周期主题编码过程。结果:从分析中得出了四个主要主题:参与者的无线/可穿戴技术使用,工作中技术使用的好处和促进因素,工作中技术使用的障碍和挑战,以及对工作场所技术支持的期望和结果。结论:研究结果有可能影响雇主对工作中适当使用技术的好处的教育和培训,在工作中使用技术时对IDD患者的入职和培训,以及在工作场所对技术的资助责任。

Using wireless technology to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in vocational settings: A focus group study
BACKGROUND: The benefits of successful integrated employment for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are immense. However, barriers contributing to high rates of unemployment among people with IDD, such as lack of appropriate training for employers and inadequate supports, are still widespread. Ensuring access to technology in the workplace is one method to support employees with IDD and mitigate those barriers. Furthermore, assistive technology may provide a simple and cost-effective intervention in the vocational setting. OBJECTIVE: In this study, we conducted a series of focus groups with adults with IDD and their family members to explore the use of technology by individuals with IDD in vocational contexts. METHODS: We used a qualitative descriptive approach to frame the study design. Data were analyzed using a multi-cycle thematic coding process. RESULTS: Four major themes emerged from the analysis: participants’ wireless/wearable technology use, benefits and facilitators of technology use at work, barriers and challenges to technology use at work, and expectations for and outcomes associated with technology supports in the workplace. CONCLUSIONS: Findings have the potential to impact employer education and training on benefits of appropriate technology use for individuals with IDD at work, onboarding and training of individuals with IDD when using technology at work, and funding responsibility for technology in the workplace.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Vocational Rehabilitation will provide a forum for discussion and dissemination of information about the major areas that constitute vocational rehabilitation. Periodically, there will be topics that are directed either to specific themes such as long term care or different disability groups such as those with psychiatric impairment. Often a guest editor who is an expert in the given area will provide leadership on a specific topic issue. However, all articles received directly or submitted for a special issue are welcome for peer review. The emphasis will be on publishing rehabilitation articles that have immediate application for helping rehabilitation counselors, psychologists and other professionals in providing direct services to people with disabilities.
