Supported employment (SE) is an evidence-based practice that helps people with severe mental disorders obtain competitive employment. The implementation of SE programs in different social contexts has led to adaptations of the SE components, therefore impacting the fidelity/quality of these services. The objective of this study was to assess the implementation of SE services in three Canadian provinces by assessing the fidelity and describing components of SE services using the Quality of Supported Employment Implementation Scale. About 23 SE programs participated in this study. Cluster analyses revealed six profiles of SE programs that varied from high to low level of fidelity with a stronger focus on a particular component, and reflected the reality of service delivery settings.

Background: When employment difficulties in people with severe mental illness (SMI) occur, it could be partly linked to issues not specific to SMI, such as personality traits or problems. Despite the fact that personality has a marked influence on almost every aspect of work behaviour, it has scarcely been investigated in the context of employment for people with SMI. Aims: This study evaluated if personality was more predictive than clinical variables of different competitive work outcomes, namely acquisition of competitive employment, delay to acquisition and job tenure. Method: A sample of 82 people with a SMI enrolled in supported employment programs (SEP) was recruited and asked to complete various questionnaires and interviews. Statistical analyses included logistic regressions and survival analyses (Cox regressions). Results: Prior employment, personality problems and negative symptoms are significantly related to acquisition of a competitive employment and to delay to acquisition whereas the conscientiousness personality trait was predictive of job tenure. Conclusion: The results point out the relevance of personality traits and problems as predictors of work outcomes in people with SMI registered in SEP. Future studies should recruit larger samples and also investigate these links with other factors related to work outcomes. (Edited publisher abstract)
