This paper reviews the literature pertaining to the employment of people who experience spinal cord injury (SCI) in the United States and recommending future research.
The literature was reviewed with search terms such as SCI, employment, working from home and telework using databases in EBSCO, including Academic Search Complete and the American Psychological Association’s databases.
Literature and findings on key factors related to employment illustrate the multiple dimensions of work environments, and health demands, that effect employment outcomes for people with SCI.
Employment is important for people with SCI and valued in society. The literature reviewed indicates that researchers understand the work demands for people with SCI and may help to identify suitable supports, training and job opportunities. There remains a need for research focus on understanding future employment demands, necessary work skills, differing work environments and methods for increasing and preserving employment.
本文回顾了有关在美国就业的脊髓损伤（SCI）患者的文献，并提出了未来的研究建议。
使用 EBSCO 数据库中的学术搜索全文和美国心理协会数据库，使用“脊髓损伤、就业、远程办公和在家工作”等搜索词对文献进行了回顾。
与就业相关的关键因素的文献和研究结果说明了影响 SCI 患者就业结果的工作环境和健康需求的多个维度。
就业对 SCI 患者很重要，在社会中也很受重视。综述文献表明，研究人员了解 SCI 患者的工作要求，这可能有助于确定合适的支持、培训和工作机会。仍需要研究重点关注未来的就业需求、必要的工作技能、不同的工作环境以及增加和维持就业的方法。
