Vocational rehabilitation, often abbreviated VR or voc rehab, is a process which enables persons with functional, psychological, developmental, cognitive, or emotional disabilities, impairments, or health conditions to overcome barriers to accessing, maintaining, or returning to employment or other useful occupations. While historically the practice focused mainly on job retention, modern approaches emphasize a more comprehensive strategy toward a person's overall vocational life, though implementation of vocational rehabilitation varies significantly across different countries depending on the resources and political support available.
Facts
FAQs
How do researchers decide whether vocational rehabilitation has worked?
Reviewing studies of return to work after rehabilitation was challenging because populations and outcome measures varied.
A systematic literature review of peer-reviewed papers on occupational therapy interventions and return to work in rehabilitation patients with non-congenital disorders found this hard to settle. Starting from 1532 papers with pertinent titles, six studies met its quality criteria, and the authors report that systematic reviewing was challenging due to varying populations, different outcome measures, and poor descriptions of methodology.
