尽管失业率很低，但有心理健康问题的人往往很难再就业。许多人面临着是否向雇主披露他们的精神疾病的决定。因此，这项研究考察了信息披露态度对再就业的作用。对301名有心理健康问题的失业人员进行了临床和求职变量以及向雇主披露心理健康问题的态度评估。根据社会人口统计变量、失业时间和抑郁症状对6个月后再就业的预测因素进行了多元回归评估。更不愿意在基线上披露精神健康问题的人预计会在6个月后重新就业。再就业也与男性、更好的教育、较低的残疾水平和更多的基线工作有关。因此，谨慎地披露精神健康问题可能会促进短期再就业。目前尚不清楚这在就业环境中是否是一项成功的长期战略。
Despite low unemployment rates, individuals with mental health problems often struggle to gain reemployment. Many face the decision whether to disclose their mental illness to employers. This study therefore examined the role of disclosure attitudes for reemployment over time. Clinical and job search variables as well as attitudes toward disclosing a mental health issue to an employer were assessed among 301 unemployed individuals with mental health problems. Predictors of reemployment at 6-month follow-up were assessed using multiple regression, adjusted for sociodemographic variables, unemployment length, and depressive symptoms. Greater reluctance to disclose mental health problems at baseline predicted reemployment after 6 months. Reemployment was also associated with male sex, better education, lower disability levels, and more job offers at baseline. Therefore, a cautious approach toward disclosing a mental health problem may facilitate short-term reemployment. It is unclear whether this is a successful long-term strategy in employment settings.
