Transition/job readiness for adolescents with juvenile arthritis and other chronic illness.

A successful transition from school to the world of work is crucial for all adolescents but can be particularly difficult for adolescents with chronic illnesses and disabilities (CI/D). The need for prevocational services for this population is especially urgent as more children with CI/D are surviving, and in the USA, to obtain their needed health care coverage, employment is essential. Yet 50-75% of young disabled adults are jobless in the USA and only 21% of the more than 300,000 handicapped students leaving special education become employed. We outline the current barriers to prevocational readiness for the adolescents with CI/D and describe how 2 programs are working with solutions.

The impact of vocational services and employment on people with HIV/AIDS.

The perceptions of vocational services and the impact of employment among 25 individuals with HIV/AIDS diagnoses were explored through a qualitative study. Participants who ranged in age from 22 to 58, represented diverse ethnic backgrounds and were at various stages of the employment process. The key themes that emerged from the data fell into three main areas: (a) personal impact of vocational services, (b) programmatic qualities of vocational services, and (c) impact of employment. Factors that influenced each of these themes and the implications for rehabilitation counselors are discussed.

Back to work: vocational issues and strategies for Canadians living with HIV/AIDS.

Much has been written since the first appearance of HIV/AIDS in 1981 about its effects on the Canadian health care and social services systems. However, researchers have given limited attention to issues of entry or re-entry to the competitive job market for HIV positive individuals. The emergence of highly active antiretroviral therapies (HAART) has allowed a significant number of persons who are HIV positive to experience a major recovery in health and energy. This increase in physical health has in turn led to a re-examination of the possibility of returning to former types and levels of activity, including the prospect of going back to work or entering the competitive workforce for the first time. The purpose of this paper is to outline some of the issues and concerns that impact HIV positive individuals' attempts to return to or enter the competitive workforce, particularly those relating to disability policies and public insurance. Data from in-depth interviews with a sample of people living with HIV/AIDS (PHAs) are used to help illustrate the disconnect between these policies and the lived experiences of PHAs. Also discussed are the opportunities for Canadian policies and practices to employ a functional definition of disability and a philosophy of early intervention in vocational rehabilitation.

Impact of a preventive job search intervention on the likelihood of depression among the unemployed.

Drawing on coping resources theory, we evaluate the impact of a job search intervention on depressive symptoms in a randomized field experiment at three follow-up periods covering two and one-half years. Baseline depressive symptoms, low social assertiveness, and financial hardship were identified as significant risk variables predicting depressive symptoms at follow-up. These variables then were used to identify high- and low-risk individuals in both experimental and control groups. Results indicated that the job search intervention had its primary impact on persons identified as being at higher risk for depression. Furthermore, the intervention had an impact on both the incidence and prevalence of more severe depressive symptoms among high-risk individuals.

Nurturing the young academician.

The young academic physician requires a well prepared and supportive environment if the trials and uncertainties associated with the early years of an academic appointment are to be successfully overcome. It is the responsibility of the appropriate university and hospital authorities to create this environment and to ensure that the appointed academician is appropriately supported within it. Of particular importance is the development by all parties of an understanding of the job description of the new faculty member and of the time and income arrangements that must be made if this description is to be fulfilled.
