Abstrakt: Factors related to occupational rehabilitation of 40 psychiatric patients (and a subgroup of 30 schizophrenic patients) hospitalized at the Day Hospital of Athens' University Department of Psychiatry were studied. Rehabilitation was negatively associated to a statistically significant degree with: chronicity of illness, time spent in unemployment, and male sex. Time spent in unemployment was also negatively related to rehabilitation at the previous employment setting. More women than men were rehabilitated. Duration of illness and duration of present hospitalization were longer for men, commitment to the hospital's daily schedule was stronger for women, and male patients had more absences from treatment sessions in comparison to female patients.
