Now I am looking for a method to assess the stress in job for people with Schizophrenia diagnosis.
I prefer an method which not only measures at the job position, but in all the process to obtain a job (pre-work, process of selection, job adjustment)
Articles about the process to obtain a job for people with schizophrenia are welcome.
Thanks!
I would recommend reading the paper mentioned below. The study described in the paper was a case-control study involving first-break schizophrenics and well controls. The study also constituted a second control group, one that was also suffering from a psychiatric disorder, namely depression, in order to identify factors that are not just related to mental disorder in general; they wanted to zero in on factors that are specific to schizophrenia. They obtained information characterizing the jobs of the all the study participants from objective sources..

Hi Felipe, Hope this article will be of some help.
Good luck, Rachel.
Theres a paper called, "Effectiveness of a Work-Related Stress Management
Program in Patients With Chronic Schizophrenia" by Lee et al., I think that is what youre looking for. All the best
This is a complicated question that has many dimensions to consider. A big one being the attitudes of professionals towards people living with schizophrenia and their ability to work. There is a growing body of evidence looking at the causal factors in psychosis that open up important treatment options. I have just completed a guide to support career service workers in improving employment outcomes which may be of help to you.
