Abstract
PURPOSE To explore clients' experiences of receiving job support from employment specialists (ESs) working with individual placement and support (IPS) in Norway. IPS is developed to help people with severe mental illness (SMI) into competitive employment as an integral component of mental health services. METHODS Using a hermeneutic phenomenological methodology, this study comprises individual semi-structured interviews with ten participants engaged in IPS at two districts psychiatric centers. Data analysis was conducted according to systematic text condensation. RESULTS Three themes emerged: (1) ES-a door opener? (2) Striving to sidestep a "spider web" of triggers at and away from work; and (3) Calling for a safer route. CONCLUSION This study highlights the importance of ESs offering IPS clients' opportunities to try out diverse jobs and focusing more on assessing the work environment in the jobs they place people into. Our findings imply that ESs should spend more time on building a good working alliance with both clients and employers, and pay more attention on understanding individuals' vocational capacities and support needs at the worksite. The ES training should focus not simply on the technical processes of job development and placement, but more directly on empowering clients to stay focused on their vocational ambitions and prospects. The salutogenic model of health can help ESs to analyze whether clients experience workplaces as meaningful, manageable, and comprehensible.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Many mental disorders especially chronic serious ones such as schizophrenia-spectrum disorders, are disabling syndromes and impact on patients' social and cognitive functioning, including work activity. Thus, affected patients may show a particular socio-economic vulnerability and need specific social security as well as rehabilitation interventions, including pensions or job-placements. In Italy, the Working Group named 'Employment and Social Security/Insurance in Mental Health (ESSIMH)' was founded in 2020 in order to collect research evidence on mental illness, employment, social security, and rehabilitation. METHODS A descriptive, observational and multi-center study has been conducted in eleven Departments of Mental Health in Italy (Foggia, Brindisi, Putignano, Rome, Bologna, Siena, Pavia, Mantova, Genova, Brescia, and Torino) and involved 737 patients affected by major mental illness and classified in five diagnostic categories: psychoses, mood disorders, personality disorders, anxiety disorders, and others. The data collection was performed in 2020 among patients aged 18 to 70 years old. RESULTS The rate of employment in our sample was 35.8% (n = 264). Occupational disability in our sample was recognized in 58.0% of patients with a mean percentage of severity 51.7 ± 43.1; patients with psychoses (73%) reported higher disability followed by personality (60%) and mood disorders (47.3%) ones. In a logistic multivariate modeling, factors significantly associated with diagnosis were (a) higher level of occupational disability in psychoses; (b) higher number of job- placement programs among psychoses patients; (c) lower level of employment in psychoses; (d) more psychotherapy in personality disorder patients; and (e) more years of MHC program in psychoses patients; factors associated with sex were: (a) higher number of drive licenses among males; (b) more physical activity among males; and (c) higher number of job-placement programs among males. CONCLUSION patients affected by psychoses were more likely to be unemployed, reported higher occupational disability as well as received more incentives and rehabilitation interventions. These findings confirmed that schizophrenia-spectrum disorders are disabling and patients need psychosocial support and interventions in the framework of a recovery-oriented treatment.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to assess the effectiveness of community-based models of care (MoCs) supporting the recovery of individuals who experience persistent and complex mental health needs. Method We conducted a systematic review and narrative synthesis of MoC studies reporting clinical, functional, or personal recovery from October 2016 to October 2021. Sources were Medline, EMBASE, PsycInfo, CINAHL, and Cochrane databases. Studies were grouped according to MoC features. The narrative synthesis was led by our researchers with lived experience. Results Beneficial MoCs ranged from well-established to novel and updated models and those explicitly addressing recovery goals and incorporating peer support: goal-focused; integrated community treatment; intensive case management; partners in recovery care coordination; rehabilitation and recovery-focused; social and community connection-focused; supported accommodation; and vocational support. None of our diverse group of MoCs supporting recovery warranted a rating of best practice. Established MoCs, such as intensive case management, are promising practices regarding clinical and functional recovery, with potential for enhancements to support personal recovery. Emerging practice models that support personal and functional recovery are those where consumer goals and priorities are central. Conclusion Evidence for established models of care shows that there is a need for inevitable evolution and adaptation. Considering the high importance of effective MoCs for people experiencing persistent and complex mental health needs, further attention to service innovation and research is required. Greater emphasis on the inclusion of lived and living experience in the design, delivery, implementation, and research of MoCs is needed, to enhance MOCs' relevance for achieving individual consumer recovery outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE We explored if patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) go through different states of labor market affiliation during their course of illness before they return to work or obtain early retirement as compared to patients without TRD. METHODS All adults between 18 and 58 years with a first-time hospital contact due to depression in Danish patients' registers from 2000 to 2014 were followed in a nationwide labor market database. At time of TRD (index week), TRD patients were matched with patients without TRD in a 1:2 ratio. Sequence analysis and logistic regression were applied to explore the association of TRD and labor market affiliation and measures of transitions between labor market states 52 weeks before and after the index week. RESULTS At the index week, 14.1% of patients with TRD were in employment, whereas the proportion was 26.4% among non-TRD patients. Over time, the proportion of patients in employment increased slightly to 25.5% for TRD and 33.7% for non-TRD patients. The proportion of TRD patients with sickness absence at index was 47.0%, while the proportion was 26.2% for non-TRD patients. The adjusted odds of a below mean volatility of labor market transitions, characterized by more episodes in passive social transfer payments and disability pension, were higher among patients with TRD compared with non-TRD patients (OR 1.63, 95% CI [1.56-1.69]). Similarly, the adjusted odds of a below mean integration into employment were 1.63 higher among TRD patients compared with non-TRD patients (95% CI [1.56-1.70]). CONCLUSION Patients with TRD have higher levels of sickness absence and lower levels of reintegration into the labor market after meeting the criteria for TRD compared with patients without TRD.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate longitudinal trajectories of vocational recovery (VR) among individuals with severe mental illness (SMI) who participated in the Danish Individual Placement and Support (IPS) trial, and whether the IPS intervention, socio-demographic and disease-specific characteristics predicted trajectory membership. METHODS In an observational study design, we used previously collected data from the Danish IPS trial (N = 720). VR was defined as 'weeks in competitive employment or education in the past 6 months and was measured after 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5 years, using data from the Danish Register for Evaluation of Marginalization (DREAM) database. Latent growth mixture modelling in Mplus statistical software (version 7) was applied to identify trajectories of VR. Multinomial logistic regression analyses were used to estimate predictors for trajectory membership. RESULTS Four trajectories were identified: 'Low VR' (61.3%), 'Low Increasing VR (8.2%), 'Increasing Decreasing VR' (7.2%) and 'High VR' (23.4%). Receiving the IPS intervention increased odds of membership in 'High VR' compared to 'Low VR' (OR = 2.18; 95% CI 1.37-3.48) and so did higher education (OR = 2.25; 95% CI 1.39-3.64), higher cognitive function (OR = 1.17; 95% CI 1.02-1.35), higher motivation to change (OR = 1.04; 95% CI 1.02-1.05) and previous work history (OR = 1.64; 95% CI 1.09-2.46). Higher age decreased odds of membership in the 'High VR' (OR = 0.95; 95% CI 0.93-0.98) compared to 'Low VR'. CONCLUSION There was high heterogeneity in the identified VR trajectories, despite that all participants expressed a desire for work and education at baseline. Improvements of the IPS intervention are needed to support specific groups in achieving and retaining employment.

Abstract
People living with severe mental illness (SMI) are one of the most marginalized groups in society. Interventions which aim to improve their social and economic participation are of crucial importance to clinicians, policy-makers and people with SMI themselves. We conducted a systematic review of the literature on social interventions for people with SMI published since 2016 and collated our findings through narrative synthesis. We found an encouragingly large amount of research in this field, and 72 papers met our inclusion criteria. Over half reported on the effectiveness of interventions delivered at the service level (supported accommodation, education or employment), while the remainder targeted individuals directly (community participation, family interventions, peer-led/supported interventions, social skills training). We identified good evidence for the Housing First model of supported accommodation, for the Individual Placement and Support model of supported employment, and for family psychoeducation, with the caveat that a range of models are nonetheless required to meet the varied housing, employment and family-related needs of individuals. Our findings also highlighted the importance of contextual factors and the need to make local adaptations when "importing" interventions from elsewhere. We found that augmentation strategies to enhance the effectiveness of social interventions (particularly supported employment and social skills training) by addressing cognitive impairments did not lead to transferable "real life" skills despite improvements in cognitive function. We also identified an emerging evidence base for peer-led/supported interventions, recovery colleges and other interventions to support community participation. We concluded that social interventions have considerable benefits but are arguably the most complex in the mental health field, and require multi-level stakeholder commitment and investment for successful implementation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence continues to build on the value of Individual Placement and Support (IPS), enabling those with long-term mental health conditions to find mainstream employment. Many of these individuals would like to work; however, unemployment for this population remains high. IPS research thus far has targeted the effectiveness of the model, with less emphasis on how individuals perceive and experience IPS and the return to work. OBJECTIVE This study explores the barriers, enablers, meaning and personal experience of being supported to find work through IPS, for individuals with long-term mental health conditions. Findings based on lived experiences of nine participants from two Scottish centres running IPS, should be useful to enhance and develop services. METHODS This study involves qualitative data collection, using semi-structured interviews and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). RESULTS Transcript analysis revealed three master themes: 1) "Working is good for me": positive aspects to working; 2) "Rome wasn't built in a day": time-unlimited supported journey and 3) "My inner critic": negative aspects to working. Participants praised IPS for the on-going practical and emotional support in overcoming self-identified occupational barriers. CONCLUSION Paid employment was greatly associated with financial freedom, social inclusion, increased self-esteem and alleviation of depressive symptoms. Participants described the person-centred, time-unlimited approach taken by the employment specialists (ESs) or occupational therapists (OTs), as the main enabler to maintaining paid employment. Barriers, such as anxiety and work-related stress were identified, however, participants felt supported to overcome some of these negative symptoms.

Abstract
Recovery is a multidimensional construct that can be defined either from a clinical perspective or from a consumer-focused one, as a self-broadening process aimed at living a meaningful life beyond mental illness. We aimed to longitudinally examine the overlap and mutual distinctions between clinical and personal recovery. Of 1239 people with schizophrenia consecutively recruited from the FondaMental Advanced Centers of Expertise for SZ network, the 507 present at one-year did not differ from those lost to follow-up. Clinical recovery was defined as the combination of clinical remission and functional remission. Personal recovery was defined as being in the rebuilding or in the growth stage of the Stages of Recovery Instrument (STORI). Full recovery was defined as the combination of clinical recovery and personal recovery. First, we examined the factors at baseline associated with each aspect of recovery. Then, we conducted multivariable models on the correlates of stable clinical recovery, stable personal recovery, and stable full recovery after one year. At baseline, clinical recovery and personal recovery were characterized by distinct patterns of outcome (i.e. better objective outcomes but no difference in subjective outcomes for clinical recovery, the opposite pattern for personal recovery, and better overall outcomes for full recovery). We found that clinical recovery and personal recovery predicted each other over time (baseline personal recovery for stable clinical recovery at one year; P = .026, OR = 4.94 [1.30-23.0]; baseline clinical recovery for stable personal recovery at one year; P = .016, OR = 3.64 [1.31-11.2]). In short, given the interaction but also the degree of difference between clinical recovery and personal recovery, psychosocial treatment should target, beyond clinical recovery, subjective aspects such as personal recovery and depression to reach full recovery.

Abstract
The current qualitative study sought to identify return to work (RTW) perception among people with serious mental illness (SMI) referred to a psychiatric hospital affiliated with Hamadan University of Medical Sciences. In total, 24 individuals were recruited, including working people with SMI, families, employers, and mental health team members who participated in in-depth, semi-structured interviews. Forty interviews were conducted. Interviews were analyzed based on the conventional content analysis approach. Accordingly, two themes were found, including The Need to Continue Working and Flexible and Supportive Strategies. The first theme included two categories: personal obligations and socioeconomic necessities. The second theme included three categories: coping with mental illness, requesting support from others, and coping with work conditions. Findings revealed that the need to continue working has a significant effect on RTW perception among people with SMI. [Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services, xx(xx), xx-xx.].

"Navigating Between Unpredictable Icebergs": A Meta-Ethnographic Study of Employment Specialists' Contributions in Providing Job Support for People with Mental Illness. JOURNAL OF OCCUPATIONAL REHABILITATION 2021; 31:512-531.

Abstract
Purpose To explore and synthesize the views of Supported Employment clients, employment specialists and their supervisors on the core contributions of employment specialists to job support within the mental health field. Methods We systematically searched four databases with no time limitations and identified 16 qualitative studies published between 2006 and 2018 to be included in this meta-ethnographic study. Results The overarching metaphor of "Navigating an Unpredictable Iceberg-laden Sea" (a workplace) and seven themes were revealed: (1) "It's you and me looking," which represented the relationship between the client and ES, and (2) taking job seekers' ambitions and needs seriously, (3) mapping the route, (4) exploring the hidden, (5) being on tap, (6) avoiding crashes, and (7) bridging, which embodied the work of employments specialists. Conclusion. Our iceberg metaphor illustrates the importance of employment specialists being competent in addressing clients' work performance difficulties related not only to the individual's illness, age, gender, and cultural-related challenges, but also to psychosocial, behavioral, and environmental workplace factors. Given the effects of the specific characteristics of the working alliance developed in supported employment, we suggest that employment specialists' training and supervision be enriched by paying more attention to these important relational processes.

The missing link-participants' perspectives on transfer from psychosocial interventional contexts to everyday community life: a qualitative synthesis of interventional studies. BMC Psychol 2021; 9:62. [PMID: 33906685 PMCID: PMC8077941 DOI: 10.1186/s40359-021-00567-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2020] [Accepted: 04/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to illuminate participants’ experiences with transfer in (1) Illness Management and Recovery (IMR); and (2) two programs based on peer support: Turning Points, and Learn to Tackle Anxiety and Depression (LTAD); and whether peer support within these programs influenced the process of transfer beyond the interventional context. Furthermore, we investigated participants’ experiences with a community-based intervention [Individual Placement and Support (IPS)] to explore perspectives on mechanisms that may eliminate challenges in the transfer process. Methods The study was based on semi-structured interviews with participants with mental illness, from four different psychosocial interventions with and without peer support and across interventional settings. The material partly consists of secondary analyses of existing data sets of anonymised, transcribed interviews investigating participants' experience from two psychosocial interventions: Illness Management and Recovery (n = 15), and Individual Placement and Support (n = 12). Additionally, we conducted semi-structured interviews with persons who had participated in one of two peer-led programs: Turning Points and Learn How to Tackle Anxiety and Depression (n = 12). The analysis was guided by a hermeneutic-phenomenological approach to illuminate transfer processes and was based on the template method described by Nigel King. Results Applying a transfer perspective on rehabilitation interventions identified everyday life situations where capacities learned during the interventions were utilized and conditions were highlighted that promoted or hindered transfer. Experiential knowledge and peer-exchange made transferal pathways between the interventional context and everyday life. Illness intrusiveness and uncertainty, together with environmental obstacles, generated transferal gaps. Individualized support could partly address these gaps. Conclusion Findings from this qualitative study illuminate how peer-support in group-based rehabilitation interventions increased social functioning and developed better self-care strategies that can be transferred to daily life. Interventions situated in mental health settings, e.g. outpatient clinics, had limited impact on participation in broader community life. Advancing rehabilitation services in mental health may benefit from tailoring services to address illness fluctuation and combining group sessions with individualized support together with acknowledging and overcoming environmental obstacles.

Abstract
AIM To provide increased understanding about how work applicants, employment specialists, social workers in the welfare service and clinicians in mental healthcare service experience participating in individual placement and support (IPS). METHODS We searched in several databases and identified 17 studies published from 2007 to 2017 in Sweden, USA, Canada, UK, Australia and Denmark, and applied meta-ethnographic reinterpretation and synthesis. RESULTS The employment specialists followed the core ideas of IPS, where work is seen as a way to recover. They saw the work applicants' preferences and needs as important for health and well-being, and crucial for successful work rehabilitation. In order to reach these goals, they offered a personal relationship to the work applicants. Work applicants clearly appreciated this personalised recovery-oriented mindset. Furthermore, work applicants needed the employment specialists as culture brokers between health-related questions and the expectations met in the labour market. Social workers lacked resources to such personalised support, and they were under demand of welfare regulations made for a 'train then place' model, which conflicts with the view that work leads to recovery as IPS sees it in their 'place then train' model. The scarce knowledge of the clinicians' experiences in the present study suggests that they are sceptical to work as a way to recover, which is in conflict with IPS. CONCLUSIONS The work applicants highlighted the significance of the individualised support they received. Social workers and some clinicians found it difficult to provide this important personalised support towards work. Conflicting mindsets between the traditional gradual work rehabilitation paradigm and the IPS approach as a way of recovering might explain these frustrations and distance. Recommendations for practice. An improvement of IPS may depend on more cooperation based on an acceptance of the recovery-oriented mindset, which for some will mean an acceptance of new knowledge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals with severe mental illness (SMI) are under-represented in the workforce. The Individual Placement and Support (IPS) programme is an evidence-based intervention that co-locates an Employment Specialist in a community mental health team to support individuals with a SMI with their goal of finding work. Previous research predominantly explored IPS programme outcomes rather than stakeholder experiences. AIM To explore programme stakeholder perspectives and experiences during the early stages of IPS programme implementation. METHODS Qualitative descriptive methodology explored consumers (n = 11), health professionals and employment specialist (n = 11) perceptions and experiences of the IPS programme. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and thematically analysed. RESULTS Three main themes emerged: enacting core care philosophies, IPS programme process and catalyst for supportive environments and relationships. The combination of IPS programme relationships, enactment of core care philosophies, and programme process promoted development of supportive environments and relationships for consumers participating in the programme. CONCLUSION Findings suggest IPS processes promoted the enactment of person-centred and recovery-oriented care approaches and positively influenced care planning practices and service culture. SIGNIFICANCE IPS directly tackles the compounding disadvantage resulting from unemployment for people with a SMI. At a service level, IPS can foster positive changes to care practices and service culture.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Individual placement and support (IPS) seems to be an effective vocational intervention for people with severe mental illness, but its effects have not yet been shown in the Danish welfare model. Also, effects may be enhanced by adding cognitive remediation and work-focused social skills training (IPS with enhancements [IPSE]). OBJECTIVES To investigate the effects of IPS vs IPSE vs service as usual (SAU) on a population of individuals with severe mental illness in Denmark. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This was an investigator-initiated, 3-group, parallel, assessor-blinded randomized clinical trial that used early-intervention teams or community mental health services in 3 Danish cities to recruit participants with severe mental illness. Participants were randomly assigned to receive IPS, IPSE, or SAU from November 2012 to February 2016, and follow-up continued until August 2017. INTERVENTIONS Participants allocated to the IPS intervention received vocational support per the principles of the IPS model. Participants in the IPSE arm received cognitive remediation and social skills training in addition to IPS. The group receiving SAU received vocational rehabilitation at the Danish job centers. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was the number of hours in competitive employment or education during the 18-month follow-up. Secondary outcomes included intergroup differences in employment or education at any point during follow-up; time to employment or education; and cognitive and social functioning, self-esteem, and self-efficacy. RESULTS Of the 720 included participants (mean [SD] age, 32.8 [9.9] years; 276 [38.3%] women), 243 received IPS, 238 received IPSE, and 239 received SAU. Most participants (551 [76.5%]) were diagnosed with a schizophrenia spectrum disorder. During the 18-month follow-up, the IPSE group worked or studied a mean (SD) of 488.1 (735.6) hours, compared with 340.8 (573.8) hours in the group receiving SAU (success-rate difference [SRD], 0.151 [95% CI, 0.01-0.295]; P = .016). The mean (SD) in the IPS group was 411 (656.9) (SRD, 0.127 [95% CI, -0.017 to 0.276]; P = .004). There was no difference between IPS and IPSE in any vocational outcomes, and the 3 groups showed no differences in any nonvocational outcomes, except that the IPS and IPSE groups were more satisfied with the services received than the group receiving SAU (IPS vs SAU: SRD, 0.310 [95% CI, 0.167-0.445]); IPSE vs SAU: SRD, 0.341 [95% CI, 0.187-0.478]). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Compared with SAU, IPS and IPSE seem to be viable routes to increase employment and education rates in people with severe mental illness in Denmark, but no additional effects were observed by enhancing IPS.
