摘要

Employment can play a vital role in providing financial stability, opportunities for personal growth, a sense of purpose, and social inclusion. While people with mental illness could benefit greatly through employment, they often face challenges in acquiring and sustaining employment. In India, understanding the complexities of employment for those with mental illness is vital, considering the existence of societal stigma and limited resources. This review aims to explore existing articles that address employment and people with mental illness in India by identifying themes, areas for intervention, and other factors that influence employability. Following Arksey and O'Malley's framework, the existing literature was synthesized in 5 electronic databases (EBSCO, PubMed, CINHAL, PsychInfo, and Embase) using specific search terms from past 20 years (June 2003 to June 2023) of research articles. The scoping review identified several key themes and challenges including demographic and social factors, illness profile, stigma and discrimination, Challenges and barriers, and support intervention. The review underscores the multifaceted nature of barriers faced by Persons with Mental Illness in employment and emphasizes the importance of tailored supportive interventions. This finding will guide the researchers/Clinicians to create a culturally feasible and effective Supported employment model for persons with mental illness in India.
