Kokotec, Kristina (avtor), Švajger, Andreja (mentor), Plemelj Mohorič, Alenka (recenzent)

Uvod: Delo je ključno za duševno zdravje, saj omogoča socialni stik, osebne dosežke in vključevanje v skupnost. Programi podpore, kot sta zaposlitvena in poklicna rehabilitacija, pomagajo posameznikom z depresijo pri iskanju in vključevanju v delovno okolje. Programe izvajajo multidisciplinarni timi, katerih pogosti člani so tudi delovni terapevti. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je s pregledom literature raziskati, kaj je znanega o vlogi in ukrepih delovne terapije pri zaposlovanju brezposelnih oseb z depresijo. Metode dela: Naredili smo splošni pregled literature. Literaturo smo iskali v naslednjih podatkovnih bazah: CINAHL, PubMed in Research Gate. Pri iskanju literature smo postavili vključitvene in izključitvene kriterije. Za prikaz procesa iskanja in izbiranja študij pa smo uporabili PRISMA diagram. Naredili smo opisno analizo s tabelaričnim povzetkom podatkov o namenu, metodah in glavnih ugotovitvah. V drugem koraku pa smo ugotovitve z namenom opredeljevanja skupnih tem povezali in združili po zgledu kvalitativne tematske analize. Rezultati: V analizo je bilo vključenih pet člankov, ki so preučevali vpliv programov individualne podpore in zaposlovanja ter vlogo delovnih terapevtov. Gre za dva splošna pregleda literature in tri kvalitativne raziskave, eno z uporabo polstrukturiranega intervjuja, drugi dve pa na podlage študije primera. Leto objave člankov je med 2017 in 2024. Vzorci so zajemali posameznike z depresivno motnjo, uporabnike storitev duševnega zdravja in delovne terapevte. Na podlagi prebranih člankov smo opredelili dve glavni temi, ki predstavljata individualizirano podporo in vodenje ter vpliv dela na duševno zdravje. Razprava in zaključek: Delovni terapevti imajo ključno vlogo pri izboljševanju funkcionalnih sposobnosti posameznikov z depresijo, premagovanju ovir, kot so stres, nizka samozavest in kognitivne težave, ter pri zmanjševanju socialne izključenosti. Za dosego teh ciljev uporabljajo strategije, kot so modeli individualne podpore in zaposlovanja, analiza delovnih mest, simulacija dela ter tesno sodelovanje z družinami in delodajalci, s čimer ustvarijo podporno okolje za trajno zaposlitev. Med ukrepe spadajo tudi funkcionalno ocenjevanje delovnih zmožnosti, prilagajanje delovnih nalog in individualizirana podpora pri reševanju kognitivnih izzivov.

Izvleček

Introduction: Work is essential for mental health as it facilitates social interaction, personal achievement, and community involvement. Support programs, such as vocational and employment rehabilitation, assist individuals with depression in finding and integrating into the workplace. These programs are implemented by multidisciplinary teams, often including occupational therapists. Purpose: The aim of this thesis is to explore, through a literature review, what is known about the role and interventions of occupational therapy in the employment of unemployed individuals with depression. Methods: A scoping of existing literature review was conducted. The literature search was performed in the following databases: CINAHL, PubMed, and ResearchGate. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were established for selecting studies. The PRISMA diagram was used to illustrate the process of searching and selecting studies. A descriptive analysis was performed, including a tabular summary of data regarding the study's aims, methods, and key findings. In the second phase, the findings were synthesized and categorized into common themes following the principles of qualitative thematic analysis. Results: The analysis included five studies that examined the impact of individual support and employment programs and the role of occupational therapists. These consisted of two general literature reviews and three qualitative studies—one using semi-structured interviews and the other two based on case studies. The articles were published between 2017 and 2024. The samples consisted of individuals with depressive disorders, mental health service users, and occupational therapists. Based on the reviewed studies, two main themes were identified: individualized support and guidance, and the impact of work on mental health. Discussion and Conclusion: Occupational therapists play a crucial role in improving the functional abilities of individuals with depression, overcoming barriers such as stress, low self-esteem, and cognitive challenges, and reducing social exclusion. To achieve these goals, they employ strategies such as individual support and employment models, job analysis, work simulations, and close collaboration with families and employers to create a supportive environment for sustainable employment. Measures also include functional assessments of work capacity, task adaptation, and individualized support in addressing cognitive challenges.
