“…Although MI has been recommended as a method in vocational rehabilitation [ 10 ], the recommendations seem to be based primarily on theoretical papers describing the compatibility between MI, and aims and values in vocational rehabilitation [ 9 , 18 , 35 , 36 ]. The current review has revealed a huge research gap on the use of MI to facilitate return to work for people with musculoskeletal disorders.…”

Purpose There is limited knowledge about motivational interviewing (MI) for people on sick leave with musculoskeletal disorders. Hence, our objective was to investigate what research on MI as a method to facilitate return to work for individuals who are on sick leave due to musculoskeletal disorders exists, and what are the results of the research? Methods We systematically searched MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Web of Science, Sociological Abstracts, Epistemonikos, SveMed + and DARE & HTA (covering 1983 to August 2019). We also searched the MINT bulletin and relevant web pages. Eligibility criteria: empirical studies investigating MI and return to work for people with musculoskeletal disorders. Two authors independently screened the records, critically appraised the studies and charted the data using a data extraction form. Results The searches identified 1264 records of which two studies were included. One randomized controlled trial (RCT) found no effect of MI on return to work for disability pensioner with back pain (n = 89, high risk of bias), while a cluster RCT found that MI increased return to work for claimants with chronic musculoskeletal disorders (n = 728, low risk of bias). Conclusions This mapping review identified a huge gap in research on MI to increase return to work for individuals with musculoskeletal disorders. Registration Current Research Information System in Norway, project id: 635823 (https://app.cristin.no/projects/show.jsf?id=635823).

“…The second-round questionnaire items were included if a consensus was reached based on a median score in the top percentile with at least 70% of panel ratings. The use of these iterative procedures is common in Delphi studies to achieve group consensus among experts, with consensus being reflected in the convergence of variance or SDs in subsequent iterations (Hsu & Standford, 2010; Leahy et. al, 2018).…”

Empowering Families to Address Suicide in Rural Colombia

Suicidal behavior is a major public health problem that has devastating effects on families. Relevant suicide risk factor identification is a critical component to developing effective suicide assessments and interventions. Suicide risk factors vary across countries. Thus, the intent of this seminal research was to investigate suicide risk factors relevant to a small and rural region in the South American country of Colombia. The factors identified in the present Delphi study appear relevant in informing the development and expansion of suicide prevention strategies and community-based programs. Educating family members and other frontline community helpers on the identified suicide risk factors can exponentially increase service resources in underserved and unserved communities.

BACKGROUND: One of the goals of PROMISE is to improve employment outcomes resulting in lifespan reductions in youth reliance on SSI. Initial and prior employment is associated with long-term career trajectories for youth with disabilities. More research is needed to develop evidence-based practices that improve early employment outcomes for youth with disabilities receiving SSI benefits. OBJECTIVE: We seek to provide information about the demographic and intervention factors associated with the successful completion of 200-hour, interest-based summer work experiences. METHODS: Outcome data for 126 youth who participated in interest-based summer work experiences were collected. Regression analyses were conducted to explore associations between the number of hours worked and various discrete intervention variables. RESULTS: Interest-based job placement, case management, and job readiness training were significant predictors of success in the summer work experience. CONCLUSION: Particular aspects of service delivery, such as job readiness training, interest-based job placement, and personalized introductions to local workforce centers by case managers can significantly improve employment outcomes for youth with disabilities. State and federal agencies tasked with improving employment outcome for youth SSI recipients are provided substantiated justification to allocate resources that align with this evidence.
