The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine the importance of resilience and self-efficacy in explaining employment status for people with long-term physical disabilities when other sociodemographic and symptom variables were also examined. A multiple logistic regression with sequential predictor entry was used to predict employment status. Participants were individuals, 18 to 65 years of age, with a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, post-polio syndrome, or spinal cord injury (N = 882). Results indicated resilience but not self-efficacy was uniquely predictive of employment status. The combined effects of resilience and self-efficacy, however, did not significantly contribute to the variance in employment status above and beyond the sociodemographic and symptom variables. Other variables uniquely predictive of employment included education, age, marital status, disability benefits, and anxiety. We found in this study preliminary evidence to suggest that rehabilitation counseling practitioners should consider a client’s resilience with respect to employment. Knowledge of sociodemographic and symptom factors in conjunction with psychometrically sound measures of resilience and self-efficacy may be used to identify individuals with long-term physical disabilities whose beliefs and behaviors may limit the extent to which they prepare for, obtain, or maintain employment.

身体残疾者的适应力、自我效能感和就业之间的关系

这项横断面研究的目的是在检查其他社会人口统计学和症状变量时，确定弹性和自我效能在解释长期身体残疾者的就业状况方面的重要性。使用具有连续预测变量条目的多元逻辑回归来预测就业状况。参与者是年龄在 18 至 65 岁之间，诊断为多发性硬化症、肌营养不良症、脊髓灰质炎后综合征或脊髓损伤的个体（N = 882）。结果表明弹性而非自我效能是就业状况的唯一预测。然而，韧性和自我效能的综合影响并没有显着导致就业状况的变化超出社会人口统计学和症状变量。其他唯一预测就业的变量包括教育、年龄、婚姻状况、残疾福利和焦虑。我们在这项研究中发现初步证据表明康复咨询从业者应该考虑客户在就业方面的适应能力。社会人口统计学和症状因素的知识以及心理测量学上可靠的复原力和自我效能测量可用于识别长期身体残疾的个人，这些人的信念和行为可能会限制他们准备、获得或维持就业的程度。
