Abstract
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to identify what factors influence user satisfaction with vocational rehabilitation services among service users in a Swedish context. METHODS: In a randomized control trial, ordinal logistic regression was applied to a dataset of 631 completed questionnaires about the support provided in three different vocational rehabilitation programmes in Sweden-Supported Employment, Case Management and Regular Vocational Rehabilitation. RESULTS: The factors Person-centeredness, Trust in Support Persons, and Experience that the activities help with getting a job were significant factors of satisfaction among service users. The ordinal logistic regression model explained between 34.3% and 49.9% of the variance in the material, depending on the pseudo R(2)-measure used. CONCLUSIONS: Service users who experience vocational support as person-centered, experienced trust in their support persons and that vocational rehabilitation activities help with getting a job are more satisfied with the vocational rehabilitation services than are other service users, independent of the vocational rehabilitation models used. Therefore, a person-centered approach is relevant to include in models' development and service design of vocational rehabilitation.
