- W2023334089 abstract "SUMMARY The performance of epileptic workers in the construction industry was analyzed. 1 In the competitive market, 60 patients were treated and followed medically, as well 16 epileptic workers employed during the past 14 years by a large construction firm. Most (72 %) were skilled labourers or professionally trained, and most (80 %) were between 20 and 45 years old. 80 % of them made a good to excellent work record; 20 % were dismissed because of seizures or personality difficulties. 2 The factors contributing to success were: (i) adequate training; (ii) specialized medical supervision and optimum control of seizures; and (iii) continuous support and guidance by experienced social service workers, who encouraged regular medication and medical check-ups as well as continued work, and helped with sensible information to the patient and his family, his co-workers and his employers. This kind of medico-psycho-social collaboration is achieved most effectively in multidisciplinary centres. The Friends of the Belgian National League against Epilepsy helped to initiate and carry out the study, and supplied social help to the patients. 3 The construction industry seems particularly suitable for the epileptic patient; in Belgium there is a shortage of manpower in this sector, and a variety of jobs. The Friends of the Belgian National League against Epilepsy helped by making it possible for the patient to subscribe to total-risk insurance, relieving the employers of increased liability on their account. 4 The 2 protected workshops in the building sector supported by the Friends of the National League proved successful in providing satisfactory work and in revalidat-ing patients so they could enter the open market. They were also successful financially. It proved valuable to have 2 workshops, 1 for precision work (wiring electrical circuits) and 1 for manual labour (installing pipes for central heating). 5 A protected workshop was set up as part of an institution. It was owned by a firm which manufactured cement blocks, and manned by epileptics. It was useful in revalidating patients to competitive jobs, but needed subsidy since it operated with a deficit. RÉSUMÉ Une enquête effectuée par l'équipe médico-psycho-sociale et de Réadaptation des Amis de la Ligue Nationale Belge contre l'Epilepsie a permis de constater que dans la société ordinaire, le milieu professionnel constitué par les différents secteurs de la construction, est favorable à l'épileptique, tant pour les possibilités d'embauché que pour le maintien au travail. L'intégration sociale peut être obtenue dans les trois-quart des cas, tandis que le maintien dans la société normale des malades épileptiques en général, n'est possible sans trop de difficulté, que pour la moitié d'entre eux. L'acceptation du malade épileptique et son maintien dans la société normale est fortement favorisée par une bonne collaboration médico-psycho-sociale qui s'exerce avec le plus d'efficacité au sein de centres multidisciplinaires. Une assurance en responsabilité civile souscrite par l'intermédiaire des Amis de la Ligue Nationale Belge contre l'Epilepsie peut enfin être réalisée et facilitera encore grandement la réadaptation des malades. Pour ce qui est des travaux exercés au sein des ateliers protégés, l'enquête effectuée dans un atelier protégéà Bruxelles, A.P.R.E., et au sein d'une industrie de fabrication de blocs en béton à l'Institut “La Porte Ouverte”à Blicquy, a permis de conclure que les travaux en rapport avec la construction sont plus valorisants, plus rentables (environ 3 fois plus que les activités non industrielles), et de qualitééquivalente ou même supérieure à celle obtenue dans la société ordinaire, mais que le rendement toujours insuffisant, nécessite le maintien continuel de subsides. Les besognes confiées aux ateliers protégés en rapport avec le secteur de la construction sont voisines des activités pratiquées dans la société ordinaire, et constituent une derniére étappe avant la réinsertion au sein de la société normale." @default.
