Choosing a suitable job and leading a fulfilling professional life is vital for individuals, regardless of disability. Governments provide rehabilitation services to promote employment for individuals with disabilities, but research on their effects is limited. This study aimed to examine the impact of rehabilitation services on employment among people with physical disabilities in South Korea using propensity score matching.
This study utilized an observational research design. Data were obtained from the 2020 National Survey of Disabled Persons, including 1,757 individuals aged 20 or older with physical disabilities. Descriptive statistics, chi-square and independent t-tests, logistic regression, and propensity score matching were employed.
The results for employment of individuals with physical disabilities showed no difference between the with rehabilitation services and the without rehabilitation services group. Based on subgroup analysis, when individuals with physical disabilities who rated their subjective health status low received rehabilitation services, it had a positive effect on employment.
The results of this study could serve as foundational data for future policies and educational directions concerning rehabilitation services for persons with disabilities.
选择一份合适的工作并过上充实的职业生涯对个人来说至关重要,无论其是否残疾。政府提供康复服务以促进残疾人就业,但针对其效果的研究有限。本研究旨在使用倾向评分匹配法,检验康复服务对韩国肢体残疾人就业的影响。
本研究采用观察性研究设计。数据来自 2020 年全国残疾人调查,包括 1757 名年龄在 20 岁及以上的肢体残疾人。采用描述性统计、卡方检验和独立 t 检验、逻辑回归和倾向评分匹配进行分析。
肢体残疾人就业的结果显示,接受康复服务组和未接受康复服务组之间没有差异。基于亚组分析,当主观健康状况较差的肢体残疾人接受康复服务时,对就业有积极影响。
本研究结果可为未来有关残疾人士康复服务的政策和教育方向提供基础数据。
