To review the state-federal vocational rehabilitation (SF-VR) system and its utilization by persons with rheumatic conditions.
SF-VR system instruction manuals, and literature on rheumatology rehabilitation, work disability, and rehabilitation counseling were reviewed. National and Massachusetts state SF-VR system data on persons with "arthritis and rheumatism" were analyzed.
The SF-VR system is used by a small proportion of persons with rheumatic diseases. Fifty-two percent of clients with arthritis are employed after receiving services.
Although evidence indicates that VR services for persons with rheumatic conditions improves their chances for reemployment, the SF-VR system is underutilized.
回顾州联邦职业康复(SF-VR)系统及其在风湿性疾病患者中的使用情况。
查阅了SF-VR系统指导手册以及有关风湿病康复、工作残疾和康复咨询的文献。分析了国家和马萨诸塞州SF-VR系统中“关节炎和风湿病”患者的数据。
一小部分风湿性疾病患者使用了SF-VR系统。52%的关节炎患者在接受服务后实现就业。
尽管有证据表明为风湿性疾病患者提供的VR服务增加了他们再就业的机会,但SF-VR系统的利用率仍较低。
