In addition to being an outcome, workforce reentry is a process: People with HIV/AIDS attempting to go back to work must make initial decisions to engage in such an attempt, they then must go through a series of steps that may include re-education or retraining, job searches, résumé development, and other activities. Sustaining employment, in turn, entails its own set of activities. People attempting workforce reentry may also experience barriers on their journeys back to work, they may employ certain strengths to reach their goals, and they may use resources to facilitate preparation for work. Few studies have attempted to study this process. This study was designed to provide an initial attempt to study the process of workforce reentry. Abstracted information from the progress notes of 104 people with HIV/AIDS attempting workforce reentry was qualitatively analyzed using a grounded theory approach to identify themes. Three major themes emerged with reliability: Barriers to workforce reentry, staff-identified strengths, and resources used in workforce-reentry efforts. Although none predicted successful workforce reentry, participants in the study experienced substantial barriers in their workforce-reentry efforts, staff identified significant strengths, and participants used appropriate resources in their efforts to go back to work. Implications for workforce-reentry programs for people with HIV/AIDS are discussed.
除了是一种结果外，重返工作岗位还是一个过程：感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的人试图重返工作岗位时，必须首先决定进行这样的尝试，然后必须经历一系列步骤，可能包括再教育或再培训、求职、简历撰写以及其他活动。而维持就业又需要一系列自身的活动。试图重返工作岗位的人在回归工作的过程中也可能会遇到障碍，他们可能会利用某些优势来实现目标，并且可能会利用资源来促进工作准备。很少有研究尝试对这个过程进行研究。本研究旨在初步尝试对重返工作岗位的过程进行研究。采用扎根理论方法对104名试图重返工作岗位的艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者的病程记录中的摘要信息进行定性分析，以确定主题。出现了三个具有可靠性的主要主题：重返工作岗位的障碍、工作人员确定的优势以及重返工作努力中使用的资源。尽管没有一个因素能预测成功重返工作岗位，但研究中的参与者在重返工作努力中遇到了重大障碍，工作人员确定了显著的优势，并且参与者在努力重返工作时使用了适当的资源。文中还讨论了对艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者重返工作岗位项目的启示。
