산재장애인의 직업적응훈련프로그램에 관한 연구

Abstract

Most workers who had occupational accidents confront difficulties in returning to work due to the lack of vocational rehabilitation services, including job-searching activities. They are not provided with the systematic rehabilitation services to return to work or to move into another job within the Workers` Compensation Insurance(WCI) such as vocational training, job counseling, job-related information provision, and vocational evaluation. This study suggests the training program model to adapt workers with industrial accidents to jobs they wish to have as a way to establish the vocational rehabilitation system under the WCI, so that the workers will be assisted to recover their vocational functions at the pre-accident level physically and socially and to carry on a healthy labor without restriction or any discrimination in social participation. This study also provides contents of the vocational adjustment training program appropriate at several vocational disability levels over the vocational rehabilitation courses. The legal disability grade is re-categorized based on the vocational level under the MaCarron-Dial Vocational Evaluation System(MDS). The study will be meaningful in that it supplies the materials to be used for developing vocational rehabilitation program tailored to the level and characteristic of disability among persons with significant industrial injuries.
