目的:本研究在探討綜合醫院實施新的支持性職業復健模式在精障者應用之成效以及所遭遇之問題,期望能增加精障者之成功的就業並促使其早日歸社區中,病人與方法:共有78名精神障礙的個案,參加某醫學中心精神科特別成立之就業門診與支持性職業復健方案。所有個案皆經就業門診後,即進入支持性職業復健方案。結果:本研究執行至今近十個月,共開發六個工作訓練職場,有16名個案持續就業中;並舉辦過多次的教育訓練活動、雇主團體、社區茶會、音樂會、宣傳與聯誼活動、家屬衛教等活動。方案進行中所遭過的困難有:專業與行政整合不易、復健經費與學員薪資無法獲得、工作機會難得、缺乏足夠就業輔導員等。結論:由本研究之經驗得知,完整的支持性職業復健模式對精神障礙者之成功就業是必要的。但在未來的規劃上,仍須重視下列問題:加強專業的整合、簡化評估程序、增加就輔員編制、尋求勞社政資源、建立家屬團體合作的管道與開發志工資源等,以順利推廣社區職業復健。
