Application of “International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health” (ICF) in Vocational Evaluation of Individuals with Mental Retardation: A Pilot Study / 「國際功能分類系統」在智能障礙者職業輔導評量之應用初探

碩士 / 高雄師範大學 / 復建諮商研究所 / 97 / The purposes of the study were to develop a Chinese ICF checklist based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) checklist in order to analyze the contents of vocational evaluation reports for individuals with mental retardation and to investigate the relationship between the characteristics of individuals with mental retardation and their work status.
Participants of the study were 89 individuals with mental retardation, who once obtained vocational evaluation services during the study period. The methods of descriptive statistics, t -tests and logistic regression were used to analyze the data. Major findings of this study were as follows:
1. The vocational evaluation reports provided more information for answering the items under the Activity and Participation domains than those under the domains of Body Structures and Environmental Factors.
2. Individuals with mental retardation who had stable histories (ever maintained their jobs more than six months in their work histories) were found significantly better than those with mental retardation who had not in their functional levels of mental function(b1) and attitudes(e4).
3. No differences were found in functional levels of Body Structures and Activity Participation domains between individuals with mental retardation who had stable work histories and those with mental retardation who had not.
4. Factors such as body function and mental function were found be able to predict and explain whether the individuals with mental retardation will have stable work histories or not.
Implications and suggestions for information provided in vocational evaluation reports and future studies are provided accordingly.
