Abstract
Sixty persons with spinal cord injury completed the My Vocational Situation (MVS) questionnaire developed by Holland, Daiger and Power.1 The MVS was designed to identify problems related to vocational decision making, ie lack of vocational identity, lack of occupational information, and the presence of environmental or personal barriers to a chosen occupational goal. As expected, more problems were reported by unemployed persons than by employed persons, and by those who reported lower levels of psychological well being. MVS scores were not mediated by age, time since injury or severity of injury.Keywords
