Før opprettelsen av Israel i 1948 var det omlag 870 000 jøder som levde som religiøse minoriteter i Midtøsten. Den nye staten Israel representerte ikke bare et "nytt hjemland" for de overlevende etter Holocaust, men også et hjemland for de jødiske migrantene fra Nord-Afrika og Midtøsten. Et av verdenshistoriens største og mest omfattende migrasjonsprosjekter skulle få drastiske konsekvenser for jøder fra denne regionen.

AbstractWe explore the implementation and development of individual placement and support (IPS) in Norway. IPS is an evidence‐based practice for supporting people experiencing mental illness to obtain and maintain competitive employment. Implementation of IPS into routine practice has been challenged by different paradigms in vocational rehabilitation, health and welfare policies. Data were mainly collected through individual and joint interviews of IPS experts and key stakeholders involved in the implementation of IPS. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Three themes were derived from the analysis, representing different phases in the implementation process: (1) seeking a way to meet unmet need in work and mental health practice, (2) gathering knowledge and national evidence, and (3) embedding IPS into routine practice. The study demonstrates how health and welfare policy gradually developed IPS from vocational rehabilitation to a mainstreamed welfare employment scheme. This development may secure the future of IPS in Norway. However, the implications for practice in the longer term are unknown. Our study provides insight into how implementation of an evidence‐based practice both influences and is influenced by national policymaking.

AbstractA high proportion of people with severe mental illness (SMI) want to work, consider it essential for recovery, yet employment rates are low. Many employees in public employment services (PES) work according to traditional attitudes that people with SMI are unable to work and if they do, risk harm from work‐related stress. These attitudes conflict with principles in evidence based vocational models like individual placement and support (IPS) and probably contributes to the low‐employment rate. The aim of this study was to investigate attitudes towards the evidence‐based principles of IPS among PES employees with and without exposure to IPS. A case vignette describing a person with SMI and statements referring to this vignette was developed and administered to PES employees at two timepoints, 4 years apart. Respondents indicated their attitudes on a six‐point Likert scale to statements in accordance to the principles of IPS. Independent two‐tailed sample t‐tests were used to analyse differences between respondents in municipalities with IPS exposure, compared to municipalities without. Multiple linear regressions with attitudes as a dependent variable was used to test whether attitudes changed over time dependent on exposure to IPS. Attitudes were generally aligned with IPS principles compared to current PES practice. The municipality with IPS exposure had more favourable attitudes (p < 0.01). Changes in attitudes were minimal over time and did not differ between regions (p < 0.287). Attitudes of employees in PES are aligned with the principles of IPS and to a greater extent if exposed to IPS.
