Brief Summary:
People with rheumatic disorders arthritis often have trouble keeping their jobs This study will look at whether vocational rehabilitation VR will improve the ability of employed people with arthritis to keep their jobs Job retention VR services target key factors that increase the risk of job loss They aim to modify jobs to reduce barriers caused by functional limitations and disease symptoms future career planning and establish a partnership with a VR counselor for ongoing help
We will conduct the study among patients with rheumatic disorders recruited in eastern Massachusetts We will give 120 study participants job retention services provided by VR counselors We will give another 120 participants literature about employment- related resources We will compare the outcomes of the two groups to evaluate the usefulness of job retention services in preventing job loss in people with rheumatic disorders

Detailed Description:
Job loss commonly occurs among people with rheumatic disorders This study will determine whether vocational rehabilitation VR provided to employed people with rheumatic disorders will improve their ability to remain employed VR is applied primarily to people who have already lost their jobs However using job retention VR services may prevent or delay the onset of employment work loss among people with rheumatic disorders Job retention VR services target important employment-loss risk factors They do so by modifying jobs to reduce barriers posed by functional limitations and symptoms promoting future career planning and establishing an alliance with a VR counselor for ongoing assistance
The study is a randomized controlled trial conducted among patients with rheumatic disorders recruited from the practices of rheumatologists in eastern Massachusetts
We will randomly assign 120 study participants to receive job-retention services provided by VR counselors and 120 participants controls to receive literature about employment-related resources We will assess intermediate outcome variables self-efficacy work limitations and job accommodation-seeking behaviors and the endpoint outcome variable work instability a measure that includes employment loss immediately prior to the interventions and at 6-month intervals over a 24-month period after the interventions are carried out We will compare the outcomes of the two groups to evaluate the usefulness of job retention services in forestalling work instability in this population
