Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of self-efficacy, illness management, education, and employment history on the work behaviors of clients with schizophrenia in sheltered workshops. Methods: A total of 131 clients with schizophrenia participated in this study. Participants completed 3 self-report questionnaires: the Self- Efficacy Scale (SES), the Knowledge for Illness Scale (KIS), and the Drug Attitude Inventory (DAI). In addition, the Work Behavior Inventory (WBI) was administrated to evaluate participants’ work behaviors. Work behavior scores were obtained via observing clients and interviewing their therapists. Data were analyzed via descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results: The analysis indicated that self-efficacy, employment history, and attitude toward drug treatment were significant predictors of the work behaviors of clients with schizophrenia in sheltered workshops. Conclusions: Vocational rehabilitation practitioners should utilize the concept of self-efficacy in prevocational programs to improve schizophrenic clients’ confidence in their social skills and work behaviors. In addition, group therapy can be applied to teach clients illness management skills to enhance drug compliance and recovery concepts. |
