It is possible that people with psychiatric disabilities who visit day centres have previous work experiences that may be seen as resources for their current engagement in day centre activities. Research in this respect seems to lack, however.
To investigate work experiences among attendees at day centres for people with psychiatric disabilities and relationships with current type of day centre (work-oriented, meeting place-oriented or mixed), engagement in day centre activities, motivation and socio-demographic and health-related factors.
Seventy-seven attendees responded to questionnaires. Global Assessment of Functioning, GAF, was also used. Work was categorised into Group I (professionals, semi-professionals), Group II (clerical support, services workers) and Group III (e.g. craft workers, elementary occupations).
Almost everyone had previously had open-market employment; more than half for ≥ 10 years. Group I was more common in mixed centres, Group II in meeting place-oriented ones and Group III in work-oriented ones. Group I more frequently had college degree and was rated high on GAF functioning. Women were over-represented in Group II, and men in Group III and in meeting place-oriented centres. Attending mixed centres was more likely when having a college degree, scoring high on GAF functioning and being highly engaged in activities. Attendees at work-oriented day centres were characterised by being motivated for spending time alone and reporting a diagnosis of psychosis.
The participants had unused working capacity. No clear-cut relationships were found between work experiences and the investigated correlates.
前往日间护理中心的精神疾病患者可能有过工作经历，这些经历可被视为他们当前参与日间护理中心活动的资源。然而，这方面的研究似乎较为缺乏。
调查精神疾病患者日间护理中心参与者的工作经历，以及与当前日间护理中心类型（工作导向型、聚会场所导向型或混合型）、参与日间护理中心活动情况、动机以及社会人口统计学和健康相关因素之间的关系。
77名参与者对问卷进行了回复。同时使用了功能总体评定量表（GAF）。工作被分为第一组（专业人员、半专业人员）、第二组（文书支持人员、服务人员）和第三组（如手工艺工人、基础职业人员）。
几乎每个人以前都有过公开市场就业经历；超过一半的人工作了≥10年。第一组在混合型中心更为常见，第二组在聚会场所导向型中心更为常见，第三组在工作导向型中心更为常见。第一组中拥有大学学位的人更常见，且在GAF功能评定中得分较高。第二组中女性占比过高，第三组以及聚会场所导向型中心中男性占比过高。拥有大学学位、GAF功能得分高且高度参与活动的人更有可能参加混合型中心。工作导向型日间护理中心的参与者的特点是喜欢独处且被诊断患有精神病。
参与者有未被利用的工作能力。在工作经历与所调查的相关因素之间未发现明确的关系。
