Las personas con un diagnóstico de trastorno mental grave (TMG) tienen tasas de desempleo notablemente superiores a las de la población general. Esto se asocia con mayor riesgo de exclusión social y de marginalidad, y favorece la cronicidad de las dificultades personales y sociales. Este estudio observacional pretende evaluar la relación entre el empleo y el estado emocional subjetivo en personas con TMG. El estudio incluyó 744 participantes (304 con TMG usuarias de recursos de rehabilitación psicosocial, 168 personas con TMG con empleo protegido y 272 personas sin TMG con empleo ordinario), con una edad media de 41.9 años y 50.1% mujeres. De los 744 participantes, 577 (77.6%) tuvieron empleo remunerado (409 (60.9%) empleo ordinario y 168 (29.1%) empleo protegido); 244 (32.8%) comunicaron que tenían un diagnóstico de psicosis y 400 (53.8%) que tenían reconocida la discapacidad. Las personas con empleo tuvieron mejores valores de bienestar psicológico subjetivo (p=0.013) que las personas sin empleo, independientemente del diagnóstico o de la discapacidad. Sin embargo, no hubo diferencias significativas en bienestar psicológico subjetivo entre las personas con empleo ordinario y con empleo protegido (p=0.687). Como conclusión, las personas con empleo remunerado tuvieron mayor bienestar psicológico subjetivo que las personas sin empleo, independientemente del diagnóstico, de la discapacidad o de que el empleo fuera ordinario o protegido
People with a diagnosis of severe mental disorder (SMD) have significantly higher unemployment rates than the general population. This is associated with a greater risk of social exclusion and marginalization, and favors the chronicity of personal and social difficulties. This observational study aims to assess the relationship between employment and subjective emotional state in people with a SMD diagnosis. The study included 744 participants (304 with a SMD diagnosis who were users of psychosocial rehabilitation resources, 168 with a SMD diagnosis with supported employment, and 272 people without diagnosis of SMD with ordinary (non-supported) employment), with a mean age of 41.9 years and 50.1% women. Out of the 744 participants, 577 (77.6%) had an employment (409 (60.9%) ordinary employment and 168 (29.1%) supported employment), 244 (32.8%) reported that they have a diagnosis of psychosis and 400 (53.8%) that they have a recognized disability. People with an employment had better subjective psychological well-being values than people without an employment (p=0.013), regardless of diagnosis or disability. There were no significant differences in subjective psychological well-being between people with ordinary employment and people with supported employment (p=0.687). In conclusion, people with a paid employment had higher subjective psychological well-being than people without an employment, regardless of diagnosis, disability or whether the employment was ordinary or supported.
