Introduction: Vocational rehabilitation is one of the vital aspects of rehabilitation that contributes to enhancing individual, social and economic independence in daily life by increasing efficiency and restoring abilities and minimizing disabilities and achieving a capable individual. Being able to satisfy his or her job need can also enhance psychological factors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of vocational rehabilitation on psychological capital in people with spinal cord injury.
Methods: The design of this study was a single case study. For this purpose, using purposeful sampling, three individuals with spinal cord injury were selected and trained in 8 sessions of the vocational rehabilitation program. Data were collected using Luthan’s psychological capital questionnaire. Results were analyzed using visual analysis, statistical significance or Reliability of Change Index, and clinical significance or percentage of improvement
Results: Visual analysis results showed that for all three participants, phase B charts (intervention) during the training sessions were increasing. Also, vocational rehabilitation training programs with a change reliability index greater than 1.96 and recovery percentage above 50 at intervention and follow-up stages affected psychological capital in people with spinal cord injury. In other words, the vocational rehabilitation program was statistically and clinically significant. Also, the consistency of the change scores was confirmed at the follow-up stage.
Conclusions: It can be concluded from this study that using the vocational rehabilitation program can increase the psychological capital of people with spinal cord injury.
