Self-perceived cognitive deficits and occupational outcome in persons with schizophrenia.

A two-year prospective follow-up study was used to explore whether self-perceived cognitive deficits (SPCD) predict occupational outcome in persons with schizophrenia. Cognitive complaints were assessed using the Scale to Investigate Cognition in Schizophrenia (SSTICS) in persons with schizophrenia requesting disability status. A higher level of SPCD was associated with better occupational outcome, independently from other characteristics.

Characteristics associated with duration of employment of persons with schizophrenia after first contact with psychiatric services.

The aim was to explore the demographic and clinical characteristics influencing the duration of employment after onset of schizophrenia.

Multivariate analyses were used to explore the characteristics independently associated with duration of work after the first contact with psychiatric services.

Time between schizophrenia onset and first request for disability status in France and associated patient characteristics.
