目的患有严重精神疾病的人就业率低，求职面试是他们获得有竞争力的就业的关键障碍。之前的随机对照试验（RCT）表明，虚拟现实面试培训（VR-JIT）提高了受训者的面试技能。本研究评估是否VR-JIT参与与更大的几率接受工作机会，在六个月后完成training.MethodsTo评估VR-JIT的疗效，学员（N=39）的方法和对照组（N=12）完成了一个简短的调查约六个月后，参加随机对照试验。主要职业成果的措施，包括接收工作机会和周数searching for employment.ResultsA更大比例的学员比比较参与者收到了工作机会（51%对25%，分别）。在分析了认知、最近的工作和诊断后，受训者比对照参与者更有可能获得工作机会（比值比=9.64，p= 0.02）。对于每个完成的VR-JIT试验，受训者获得工作机会的几率更大（比值比=1.41，p= 0.04），更多完成的VR-JIT试验预测寻找工作的周数更少（β=-.74，p= 0.02）。鉴于参与者获得标准化职业服务的机会最少，未来的研究可以评估VR-JIT在有和没有获得标准化职业服务的个人中的有效性，以及评估在大型社区精神卫生服务提供者中实施VR-JIT的策略。
ObjectiveIndividuals with severe mental illness have low employment rates, and the job interview presents a critical barrier for them to obtain competitive employment. Prior randomized controlled trials (RCTs) indicated that virtual reality job interview training (VR-JIT) improved job interviewing skills among trainees. This study assessed whether VR-JIT participation was associated with greater odds of receiving job offers in the six-months after completion of training.MethodsTo assess the efficacy of VR-JIT, trainees (N=39) in the method and a comparison group (N=12) completed a brief survey approximately six months after participating in the RCTs. Primary vocational outcome measures included receiving a job offer and number of weeks searching for employment.ResultsA larger proportion of trainees than comparison participants received a job offer (51% versus 25%, respectively). Trainees were more likely to receive a job offer than comparison participants (odds ratio=9.64, p=.02) after analyses accounted for cognition, recency of last job, and diagnosis. Trainees had greater odds of receiving a job offer for each completed VR-JIT trial (odds ratio=1.41, p=.04), and a greater number of completed VR-JIT trials predicted fewer weeks of searching for employment (β=–.74, p=.02).ConclusionsResults provide preliminary support that VR-JIT is a promising intervention associated with enhanced vocational outcomes among individuals with severe mental illness. Given that participants had minimal access to standardized vocational services, future research could evaluate the effectiveness of VR-JIT among individuals with and without access to standardized vocational services as well as evaluate strategies to implement VR-JIT within a large community mental health service provider.
