Abstract:Designed to help persons with schizophrenia to persist and perform better at job placements, the Indianapolis Vocational Intervention Program (IVIP) is a program of cognitive-behavioral group and individual interventions. While its feasibility has been previously demonstrated, it is unknown whether IVIP assists persons to achieve greater levels of participation in vocational rehabilitation and higher levels of job performance. In this study, 100 participants with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder were offered a six month job placement and randomized to receive IVIP (n = 50) or support services (n = 50) matched for treatment intensity. Number of hours worked was recorded weekly and job performance was assessed biweekly using the Work Behavior Inventory with raters blind to condition. t-tests revealed that participants in the IVIP group worked a significantly greater number of weeks than those in the support condition. Also, repeated measures ANOVA revealed the IVIP group worked more hours across that 26 week period as well. And with regards to work performance, repeated measures of the 56 participants who worked for at least two-thirds of the intervention revealed that participants in the IVIP group had generally better work performance than those in the support condition. Results suggest a connection between cognitive-behavioral interventions and higher levels of work performance in people with schizophrenia.
