Supported employment is an effective intervention for people with serious mental illnesses (SMI) but is underutilized. Clients' desire to work might be heightened by programs that provide counseling about managing one's funds, since money management helps people become more aware of the advantages of having money.
To analyze the thoughts of recently homeless or hospitalized persons with SMI concerning their personal finances and employment.
We interviewed 49 people with SMI about their finances, reviewed transcripts and analyzed their baseline characteristics.
Twenty of the 49 participants spontaneously expressed a desire to work in order to earn more money. Those who expressed a desire to work managed their money significantly better than those who did not.
Discussion of finances, such as that fostered by money management programs, may promote engagement in vocational rehabilitation and working for pay.
支持性就业对患有严重精神疾病(SMI)的人来说是一种有效的干预措施,但未得到充分利用。提供资金管理咨询的项目可能会增强客户的工作意愿,因为资金管理有助于人们更加意识到拥有金钱的优势。
分析近期无家可归或住院的严重精神疾病患者对其个人财务和就业的看法。
我们就财务问题采访了49名严重精神疾病患者,审查了访谈记录并分析了他们的基线特征。
49名参与者中有20人自发表达了通过工作赚取更多金钱的愿望。表示有工作意愿的人在资金管理方面明显优于没有工作意愿的人。
对财务的讨论,如资金管理项目所促成的讨论,可能会促进参与职业康复并从事有报酬的工作。
