Virtual Reality Job Interview Training to Enhance Supported Employment for Adults with SMI

项目摘要 支持性就业(SE)是一种基于证据的方法，已被证明可以增加就业 患有严重精神疾病(SMI)的成年人的发病率。尽管这一项目取得了成功，但超过80%的成年人 在SMI的情况下，他们仍然失业。SE的一个限制是求职面试部分，它利用了员工主导的角色- 玩耍训练。许多参与SE的患有SMI的成年人报告说，他们对这份工作准备不足 面试过程。为了满足这一培训需求，我们团队最近完成了由NIMH资助的一系列研究 开发和测试虚拟现实求职面试培训程序(VR)的效果。结果是 证明了这种干预在提高面试技巧和获得工作机会方面是有效的 在完成培训模拟后6个月内。因此，这项研究的首要目标是评估 虚拟现实求职面试技能培训项目(VR)在大型社区心理中的有效性 卫生服务提供者通过随机对照试验和过程评估。因此，我们的目标是1) 评估SE+VR与SE相比是否只提高SE结果；2)评估 就业结果和心理困扰；以及3)进行多层次、多学科和混合的- 方法过程评估虚拟现实的采用和实施，以评估其可接受性、可扩展性、 虚拟现实的普适性和可负担性。

Project Summary Supported Employment (SE) is an evidenced based method that has been shown to increase employment rates in adults with severe mental illness (SMI). Despite the success of this program, more than 80% of adults with SMI remain unemployed. A limitation of SE is the job interview component, which utilizes staff-led role- play training. Many adults with SMI who participate in SE report feeling inadequately prepared for the job interview process. To fill this training need, our group recently completed a series of studies funded by NIMH to develop and test the efficacy of a virtual reality job interview training program (VR). The results demonstrated that the intervention was efficacious at improving job interview skills and receiving a job offer within 6 months of completing the training simulation. Thus, the overarching goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a virtual reality job interview skills training program (VR) in a large community-based mental health service provider via a randomized controlled trial and process evaluation. Thus, our aims are to 1) Evaluate whether SE+VR compared to SE Only enhances SE outcomes; 2) Evaluate mechanisms of employment outcomes and psychological distress; and 3) Conduct a multilevel, multidisciplinary, and mixed- method process evaluation of VR adoption and implementation to assess the acceptability, scalability, generalizability, and affordability of VR.
