“…Work with veterans transitioning from the military to civilian life has suggested that IPS–SE could be modified including contingency management to decrease substance use, motivational interviewing to sustain motivation, and self-employment to avoid stigma (Wewiorski et al, 2018).…”

Objective: This study evaluates the effects of time incarcerated on employment outcomes between a manualized vocational program, the About Face Vocational Program (AFVP), and a hybrid program of the AFVP and Individualized Placement and Support, Supported Employment (AFVP + IPS-SE). Method: Eighty-four veterans with the histories of felony convictions and a mental illness or a substance use disorder were randomly assigned to the AFVP or AFVP + IPS-SE conditions and followed for 6 months. The associations between time to employment and months incarcerated were evaluated using nonparametric tests. Findings: The number of months incarcerated was positively associated with time to employment in the hybrid AFVP + IPS-SE condition but not the AFVP condition. In addition, significant differences were found between employment rates of the groups at lower number of months incarcerated, with higher rates of employment in the hybrid AFVP + IPS-SE condition, becoming similar as months incarcerated increased. Conclusion and Implications for Practice: Number of months incarcerated may have a deleterious effect on employment rates when using IPS-SE. Impact and ImplicationsJustice-involved veterans with mental illness and/or substance use disorders experience difficulties becoming successfully employed the longer they are incarcerated. The effects of incarceration are mitigated somewhat with the use of IPS-supported employment (SE) for those incarcerated for shorter periods, but the benefits of IPS + SE diminish as time incarcerated increases.

“…• Comparisons between only members of the two groups who had found employment showed fewer differences between groups. illness (6), spinal cord injuries (7), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (8), and substance use disorders (9), as well as returning veterans (10). More recently, the number of hybrid or enhanced programs that combine supported employment with another standardized vocational program (11,12) or other therapeutic modalities (13) has increased.…”

This study compared two vocational programs: the About Face Vocational Program (AFVP), a traditional group-based vocational program created for formerly incarcerated veterans, and a hybrid program combining the AFVP with principles of individual placement and supportsupported employment. Methods:The study evaluated 111 veterans with at least one felony conviction who had a mental illness, substance use disorder, or both. Veterans were randomly assigned to either vocational condition.Results: Veterans in the hybrid condition, compared with the AFVP alone, were more likely to find employment, had higher rates of full-time employment, and earned significantly more money over the course of the study. A comparison of only participants who found employment showed higher rates of full-time employment for veterans in the hybrid condition but similarities between the two groups in other measures of employment success.Conclusions: Blended models of vocational services for veterans with mental illness, substance use disorders, or both are effective at returning formerly incarcerated veterans to competitive employment.

“…Reintegration for military personnel was further described as a dynamic process where individuals sought to resume association in social roles as civilians (Elnitsky & Kilmer, 2017). Desired community reintegration is dependent upon multidimensional support systems, including communal support, self-motivation, and social networks, for individuals transitioning from military to civilian life (Wewiorski et al, 2018). According to the Department of Defense (DoD) Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms ("Reintegration," n.d.-a.…”

Background: Cancer survivors who have completed active treatments experience challenges in the survivorship phase of cancer care. Survivors transitioning through an illness experience negotiate former roles and relationships and reevaluate their self-identity. Reintegration of post-treatment cancer survivors has not been analyzed; however, nurses with a clear understanding of reintegration influence holistic care. Purpose: The goal of this artricle is to provide a theoretical definition of the concept of reintegration for cancer survivors post-treatment. The definition is derived and supported from a multidisciplinary literature review. Method: The discussion was organized using the Walker and Avant approach to concept analysis. Findings: This concept analysis defined reintegration as a dynamic process involving the reorganization of former performance roles concurrent with the reevaluation of personal abilities. Survivors are involved in creating a new normal and post-treatment cancer survivor identity. Reintegration is characterized by transitional phases that may be cyclical and evolve with time. Finally, desired outcomes are based on perceived subjective and objective criteria of importance and are strengthened through multidimensional supportive networks. Conclusion: Incorporating the physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and community/environmental aspects of the cancer survivorship experience enhances reintegration.
