Şizofreni Tanısı Almış Bireylerin İstihdamı

İstihdama katılım, çoğu zaman şizofreni tanısı konulan bireylerin psikososyal iyilik hali üzerinde olumlu bir etkiye sahiptir. Şizofreni tanısı konulan bireylere yönelik farklı ülkelerin istihdam modelleri incelendiğinde, her bir ülkenin birbiri ile benzeşen ve farklılaşan uygulamalara sahip olduğu ifade edilebilir. Bu uygulamalardan korumalı istihdam ve kota, Türkiye’de şizofreni tanısı konulan bireylerin istihdamında en yaygın olarak uygulanan yöntemlerdir. Ancak ilgili alanyazın, bu bireylerin istihdama katılımları önünde bireysel (eğitim düzeyi, hastalık seyri, ilaç kötüye kullanımı), toplumsal (ayrımcılık, damgalanma, sosyal dışlanma) ve yasal engellerin (spesifik politika düzenlemelerinin olmaması) olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada şizofreni tanısı konulan bireylerin bu alanda yaşadıkları sorunları ortaya koymak, istihdama katılımlarını artırmaya ve istihdamda sürekliliklerini sağlamaya yönelik çeşitli öneriler sunmak amaçlanmaktadır.

Employment of Individuals Diagnosed with Schizophrenia

Employment participation often has a positive effect on the psychosocial well-being of individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia. When the employment models of different countries for individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia are examined, it can be stated that each country has similar and different practices. Quota and sheltered employment are the most common methods which are used in the employment of individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia in Turkey. However, based on the literature, it is seen that there are individual (education level, disease prognosis, drug abuse), social (discrimination, stigmatization, social exclusion) and legal obstacles (lack of specific policy arrangements) to these individuals’ participation in employment. This study aims to reveal the problems experienced by individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia in this area. Besides, another aim of this study is to offer various suggestions for increasing their participation in employment and ensuring their continuity in employment.
