This study aimed to investigate changes in mental health among young adults participating in an integrated mental health and vocational support intervention according to the Södertälje Supported Employment and Education model.
A prospective longitudinal pre-post intervention study of 12 months.
Instruments on depressive symptoms, quality of life, empowerment, engagement in activities and sociodemographic characteristics were administered to 42 young adults aged 19-28 years with mood disorders. Wilcoxon signed rank tests were used to assess changes in mental health.
Statistically significant positive changes between baseline and 12 months were noted for quality of life and engagement in activities. Difference in empowerment scores neared significance and a statistical trend towards lower depression scores was seen, corresponding to moderate depression at baseline and less severe depression at 12 months.
Integrated mental health and vocational services may support young adults' mental health and is suggested to be linked to their personal recovery and clinical recovery.

一项为期 12 个月的前瞻性纵向干预前后研究。
对 42 名年龄在 19-28 岁之间的情绪障碍年轻成年人进行了抑郁症状、生活质量、赋权、参与活动以及社会人口特征的评估。采用 Wilcoxon 符号秩检验评估心理健康变化。
在基线和 12 个月时，生活质量和参与活动方面均有显著的积极变化。赋权评分的差异接近显著水平，抑郁评分呈下降趋势，这表明基线时为中度抑郁，12 个月时抑郁程度较轻。
综合心理健康和职业服务可以支持年轻成年人的心理健康，并有助于他们的个人康复和临床康复。
