了解残疾退伍军人的经验和使用退伍军人事务部（VA）职业和教育服务的需求，包括支持就业，后9/11 GI法案，职业康复和就业。我们进行了26个联合半结构化采访后9/11退伍军人谁使用了至少三个职业和教育服务之一，他们的家庭成员谁参加了VA照顾者支持计划。退伍军人事务部的职业和教育服务通过提供技能和增加参与日常生活任务的机会，帮助残疾退伍军人从军队过渡到平民生活。退伍军人的动机，照顾者的支持，并在VA和学术机构从事工作人员是退伍军人成功的关键驱动力。经历过挑战的退伍军人列举了以下障碍：健康问题，对就业后福利损失的担忧，以及不适应非传统退伍军人学习者需求的退伍军人事务部和学术课程。有必要在几个领域加强退伍军人事务部为残疾退伍军人提供的职业和教育服务，包括修改一线工作人员的角色，增加职业顾问和医疗保健团队之间的沟通，以更好地适应退伍军人的健康相关限制。提供一个职业康复导航器，以帮助退伍军人确定退伍军人事务部和工作/教育环境中的机会，这是一个很好的匹配退伍军人的目标和能力，也可能是有益的职业和教育服务。
To understand the experiences of veterans with disabilities and caregiving needs who use Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) vocational and education services, including Supported Employment, the Post-9/11 GI Bill, and Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment. We conducted 26 joint semi-structured interviews with Post-9/11 veterans who had used at least one of three vocational and education services, and their family members who were enrolled in a VA Caregiver Support Program. VA vocational and education services helped veterans with disabilities transition from the military into civilian life by providing skills and incremental exposure to engaging in everyday life tasks. Veteran motivation, caregiver support, and engaged staff at VA and academic institutions were key drivers of veteran success. Veterans who experienced challenges cited the following barriers: health problems, concerns about benefits loss if they became employed, and VA and academic programs that did not accommodate the needs of non-traditional veteran learners. There is a need to bolster VA vocational and educational services for veterans with disabilities in several domains, including modifying the roles of frontline staff and increasing communication between vocational counselors and health care teams to better accommodate the veteran’s health-related limitations. Providing a vocational rehabilitation navigator to help veterans identify opportunities within VA and work/educational settings that are a good match for the veteran’s goals and abilities could also be beneficial across vocational and educational services.
