Mielenterveyssyistä johtuvat sairauspoissaolot ja työkyvyttömyyseläkkeet ovat lisääntyneet Suomessa viime vuosikymmeninä. Sen vuoksi on tarpeen tutkia mielenterveyskuntoutujien yksilöllisiä elämäntilanteita sekä heidän kuntoutumistaan ja kiinnittymistään yhteiskuntaan. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan mielenterveyskuntoutujien kuntoutusprosessia erityisesti koulutus- ja työtoimijuuden näkökulmasta. Tutkimusaineistona käytetään aikuisten mielenterveyskuntoutujien kirjoittamia elämänkerrontoja (n = 42). Elämänkerrontojen teema-analyysin ja tyypittelyn perusteella kirjoittajat jaettiin kolmeen erilaiseen ryhmään, jotka nimettiin toimijoiksi (9), taistelijoiksi (18) ja tipahtaneiksi (15). Toimijat olivat aktiivisia oman kuntoutumisensa, koulutuksensa, työnsä sekä kokonaiselämänsä suhteen. Heillä oli vahva pyrkimys hakeutua koulutukseen, palata takaisin työelämään tai ylläpitää nykyinen koulutus- ja työtilanteensa. Taistelijat olivat puolestaan omassa kuntoutusprosessissaan matkalaisia, jotka halusivat olla yhteiskunnan tarpeellisia jäseniä. Myös heillä oli koulutukseen ja työhön liittyviä haaveita, mutta keinot oman elämän hallitsemiseksi olivat toisten ihmisten tuen varassa. Tipahtaneet olivat luovuttaneet sekä oman kuntoutumisensa että koulutus- ja työtoimijuutensa suhteen. Heillä ei ollut enää koulutukseen tai työhön liittyviä tavoitteita. Abstract Mentally wounded. Research of Education and Work Agency of Mental Health Rehabilitees Mental health related sick leaves and early pensions have increased enormously in our society in the last decades. That is why it is important to study the life narratives of mental health rehabilitees, especially focusing on individual and societal factors connected to rehabilitation, education and work agency. The data of this research consisted of 42 self-written life stories of adult mental health rehabilitees. Based on theme analysis and typification, life stories were divided into three groups: agentic actors (9), warriors (18) and dropouts (15). Agentic actors were described as active agents of their own rehabilitation, education, work and life. They had strong intentions to participate in education and work. Warriors seemed to be more like passengers in their own rehabilitation process, yet they had intentions to be a necessary part of society. They had hopes and dreams towards education and work, but they seemed to be lacking concrete means to lead their independent lives.  The dropouts had given up on their agency in rehabilitation, education and work. They had no more goals or intentions concerning education and work. Keywords: mental health rehabilitation, life story, education, work, agency

AimsAfter several years of research to improve the action of antipsychotic medication and to reduce its side effects, we have realized the importance of an accurate intake of antipsychotic medication and because of it we started up a program in our Mental Health Rehabilitation Service. Therefore, we can affirm that outpatients behavior influence their intake medication and also the efficiency of the drug prescription. The main consequence of inadequate treatment compliance is an increase in relapses and hospital admission.The aim of this program is to improve adherence to pharmacological treatment, to promote the quality of life for a better social integration, to know the use of prescribed medication, to know the health resources of the network to acquire the medication and to acquire skills for greater autonomy in the management and management of medication.MethodWe analyzed a sample of 13 outpatient diagnosed with severe mental disorder that started up into our Program “Adherence to treatment” and their stabilization (less relapses and less admissions) in two years’ time.ResultsOne of the patients have completed the aims of the program and he is living on his own, nine of them continue the program without relapses or admissions, one dropped out the program because of relapse and an another one have also completed the program but he died because of somatic disease.ConclusionsThe experience of this program in group format is positive, since patients acquire skills, knowledge and strategies in their own treatment in line with the recovery model in psychosocial rehabilitation.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
