The Employment-Activity Program (EAP) of the PEPsNA aims that people develop or regain the occupational roles to wich ther aspire in their life after a first episode, due to the early ages affected by psychosis. Social-labor integration strategies (vocational rehabilitation and supported employment) are effective tools to improve the evolution of people with serious mental illnes.
Check the objectives achieved by the PEA, which in turn serves as a self-assessment, in order to improve our daily work.
Data related to employment/occupation are analyzed, (number of people who are active in employment or carrying out standarized studies, people with temporary labor disability or who repeat a year, sheltered employment, occupational center, long-term unemployment and others), instrumental functional capacity and neurocognitive status (CGI COG scale), occupational disability (WHODAS scale), social and occupational functioning (SOFAS scale) and quality of life (QLS scale)
The rate of active persons with employment or standarized studies increases by 7.2% at 24 months, and the long-term unemployment rate decreases by 4.9%, the timing of the highest occupation being at 12-18 months of treatment, reaching 55% and the one with the lowest unemployment at 12 months, with 17.3%. The percentage of people with ILT falls by 13.4%. The functioning scales also detect an improvement after 2 years of treatment.
The PEA contributes to the improvement in the global funtioning of people and their quality of life.
