To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of adapting the Job Seekers' Workshop (JSW) to a residential setting within a Massachusetts-based substance use disorder treatment agency.
Implementation of the adapted JSW consisted of a continual sequence of three weekly sessions that focused on job interview rehearsals, practice completing job applications, and identification of job leads. Data were compiled on the employment rates of the 188 patients discharged from the residential treatment program during July - December 2006 (baseline participants, n = 95) and January - June 2007 (JSW intervention participants, n = 93). The effectiveness of the adapted JSW was evaluated through a comparison of baseline and intervention participants' employment rates at discharge from residential treatment.
Analyses indicated a trend towards a significant increase in employment at discharge for the intervention period (40.9%) compared to baseline (29.5%), χ(2)(1, N = 188) = 2.675, p = .051.
Further evaluation of the JSW in residential settings is necessary, but this preliminary research suggests that the intervention could begin to address the need for vocational services in residential treatment for substance use disorders.
评估将求职者工作坊(JSW)改编为马萨诸塞州一家药物滥用治疗机构的住宿环境中的可行性和有效性。
改编后的 JSW 的实施包括连续进行的三个每周一次的会议,重点是模拟面试、练习填写工作申请表以及寻找工作线索。数据收集于 2006 年 7 月至 12 月(基线参与者,n = 95)和 2007 年 1 月至 6 月(JSW 干预参与者,n = 93)期间从住院治疗计划出院的 188 名患者的就业率。通过比较住院治疗出院时基线和干预参与者的就业率来评估改编后的 JSW 的效果。
分析表明,干预期间(40.9%)的就业率较基线(29.5%)呈显著上升趋势,χ²(1,N = 188)= 2.675,p =.051。
有必要对 JSW 在住院环境中的应用进行进一步评估,但这项初步研究表明,该干预措施可能开始满足药物滥用住院治疗中职业服务的需求。
