The following suggestions can be proposed to improve vocational rehabilitation outcome for People with Psychiatric Disabilities:
First, vocational rehabilitation service should focus on work environment satisfaction in socio-environmental factors more than all the others. Work environment satisfaction is composed of physical environment, welfare privilege, employer & peer employee support in this study. Until now vocational rehabilitation service has focused on internal education program for People with Psychiatric Disabilitles. But from now on it need to focus on external environment, namely vocational rehabilitation service need gathering of work place information, welfare level, education program for employers & peers and active advocacy.
Second, following things should be included in future vocational rehabilitation program; coping skill to expecting troubles, training personally tailored program which can make them experiencesucess.
Third, managing their psychiatric symptom, psychological, social & vocational function through case management will be required in vocational rehabilitation service.
Last, attention should be focused on the first & the sixth month when most of drop-outs occur, In this period, more intensive case-management can help this problem to be solved.
