[Topical problems of health protection in childhood and juvenile age in relation to forming cadre workers' labor longevity].

Complex investigations of worker-training process have revealed that priority within the process of choosing professon and vocational training is not given to hygienic problems concerning health of workers to be. The main stages of training do not have a common hygienic goal of improving health of workers to be and making their professional work more reliable. The authors substantiate the necessity for creating a common vocational training system based upon system analysis principles and providing for the consistent maintenance and improvement of students' health throughout the training process, including such stages as vocational guidance, vocational selection and training, to prolong professional longevity of qualified workers.

[A team approach in unemployed persons with psychosomatic disorders].

A survey was conducted among persons with the health disorders considered to be aggravating factors in finding employment, who were on the list of the unemployed registered with a regional employment bureau. In 1994/1995 forty persons were selected and examined by a vocational guidance team. The team included a psychologist, a pedagogue, an occupational health specialist, a legal advisor and the employment bureau officer. The criteria were based on the health disorders that are contraindicative for an occupation, on the length of unemployment, time of onset of disease or disability, social status, satisfactory residual work capacity for another occupation, job opportunity and on the person's motivation for work, retraining, earning additional qualifications or for schooling. Results demonstrate that investing in vocational guidance is justified if negative selection as well as a futile loss of time, money and effort spent on schooling are to be avoided. The programme of retraining, additional training and finding an occupation in accordance with one's residual work capacity continues to be applicable only in the case of a newly diagnosed disease, newly inflicted injury or wound as well as a useful and humane method in the work of employment bureaus and vocational guidance teams.

[Studies on the socio-medical and psychological situation of persons suffering from osteogenesis imperfecta tarda (author's transl)].

A group of 22 patients suffering from osteogenesis imperfecta tarda were evaluated on their school and vocational education, sport activities as well as personality development with the help of follow-up studies, questionnaires or medical records. 21 patients had at least received elementary school education and had been average or good pupils. Five of six patients who had meanwhile reached adulthood had received higher education and vocational training. Owing to their disease five of six patients had to give up their original jobs or occupational plans. There was only one female patient who had received vocational guidance. Of ten children and six adults five and four respectively carried out sports in their leisure time. To improve the patients' situation it is immediately necessary that (1) the parents be informed of the nature of the disease as well as its heridity, and be advised how to handle these children; (2) the patients and their parents receive educational and vocational guidance.

[On the vocational counselling of physically disabled young people--some remarks on the findings presented by E.-M. Weinwurm-Krause (author's transl)].

Hand in hand with the continuing development of vocational counselling for disabled young people went to updating and differentiation of vocational orientation material available to the disabled for preparing their choice of occupation. Increased attention had above all been paid to counselling of the thalidomide-affected. Their concerns, especially as regards assessment of aptitudes and inclinations, are particularly headed in vocational guidance, an instrument that had been defined more specifically in the late seventies. The vocational education centres must be considered an essential aid in the training of, particularly, the physically disabled as the required accompanying services (for medical, psychological and social educational care) can be made available here. By means of training regulations for the disabled, as provided for in the Vocational Education Act and the handicrafts ordinance, these training facilities for the disabled are also most readily in a position to make allowances in view of the nature and consequences of a disability, when this is held to be necessary by the vocational counselling service due to the professional opinions presented by psychologists and/or physicians. No rehabilitation measure can however be initiated unless the disabled young person and his or her parents consent.

[Vocational aptitude and inclination--aspects of their assessment and evaluation in rehabilitation].

The task of appraising aptitudes and inclinations accompanies a rehabilitee and the rehabilitation workers involved for the entire duration of an occupationally-focussed rehabilitation measure. Explicitly so in vocational guidance measures, it aims at obtaining a sound basis for decision-making in view of vocational reorientation. Responsibility for this decision in the last analysis rests with the rehabilitee himself, an aspect that abolishes any strict separation of aptitude and inclination in predicting outcome in the context of occupational perspectives. Being the decision-making agent, the rehabilitee must therefore be offered typical situational fragments of a possible educational and vocational future, intended on the one hand to inform him of occupational alternatives and, on the other, to provide initial experience. The rehabilitation worker's role in this process requires a client-centered stance in terms of information provider and trusted agent, which is to help avoid an adverse exams climate evolve in this momentous decision-making phase. Psychological testing, from this angle, should be used merely as a supplementary means. The approach outlined for appraisal of individual potentials requires intensive teamwork, not least also in view of verifying individual capacity.

[An examination of the relationships among career decision-making self-efficacy, vocational motives, and vocational indecision: a study of women's junior college students].

The purpose of this study was to examine a causal model leading to the tendency of women's junior college students to delay vocational decisions. The model assumes that Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy (CDMSE) determines vocational motives, which in turn affect the tendency. A questionnaire was administered to 431, 199 first-year and 232 second-year, women's junior college students. CDMSE was measured with self-efficacy for self-appraisal and occupational information-gathering, and vocational motives were self-improvement, interpersonal, and status motives. Results showed that self-efficacy for self-appraisal influenced self-improvement motive for both first-year and second-year students. Self-improvement motive and the self-efficacy then influenced vocational indecision among second-year students. Self-efficacy for information-gathering influenced vocational indecision among first-year students. These findings suggest that college vocational guidance should take self-efficacy and vocational motives into account.

[Career choice of youths with chronic diseases].

More than 10% of the pupils at ten-year general polytechnical schools have chronic diseases, which mean a restriction of their vocational fitness. That's why they are allowed to apply for an apprenticeship sooner than the other pupils after having had a vocational guidance under the aspect of industrial medicine. Under the conditions of large towns the multiplicity of careers can be considered as most substantially limited for these pupils.

The development of a psychiatric rehabilitation service: a two year pilot project.

In the history of psychiatry, one can discern conflicting trends with regard to hospitalization of people suffering from severe mental disturbances. From the beginning of the 19th century, the standard method for dealing with such people has been to take them away from their homes and work and put them in hospitals. However, since the discovery of antipsychotic drugs in the 1950's, there has developed a new movement to treat mentally disturbed people in their communities, either avoiding hospitalization altogether, or at least greatly shortening it. In many hospitals there has been a synthesis of these two trends, reflected in an upgrading of the importance of the rehabilitation function. In Shalvata Psychiatric Center, a medium-sized psychiatric hospital in Hod Hasharon, Israel, a two-year pilot project to introduce a centralized Rehabilitation Service was recently completed. The present Rehabilitation Service is based on the rehabilitation/activity therapy model in which the hospital is conceptualized as a setting in which patients may develop or recover social and vocational skills needed to function adequately in the community. It has drawn on existing, motivated staff from all mental health professions represented at the hospital, and works closely with all in-hospital wards and the day hospital. The authors discuss six areas of vocational and social rehabilitation with which the Rehabilitation Service has attempted to deal: 1. activity therapy/rehabilitation groups, 2. vocational guidance unit, 3. after-care therapeutic social club, 4. in-hospital rehabilitation consultation, 5. liaison activities with community-based facilities, 6. job placement.

Social adaptation in juvenile diabetes.

A sample of 36 juvenile diabetics, age 19--28 years, and with a duration of diabetes of 14--17 years were interviewed with regard to their social adaptation. Five patients could not be traced and six patients did not want to participate. Educational and professional careers were normal. However, none had received individual diabetes-oriented vocational guidance. A majority of patients was unsatisfied with the information given at the diabetic clinics, and a negative attitude towards society and its institutions was common. Patients often felt that as children they had been neglected by the diabetic team, while their parents received all information. It is concluded that diabetic children and adolescents require continuous socio-psychological support, that psychologists and/or social workers should be permanent members of the diabetic teams, and that paediatricians should follow diabetic patients until they are fully grown up.
