This study examines whether survivors’ satisfaction with the reintegration process is associated
with the promises of employment or financial support made by rehabilitation centres. Using chi
square analysis on data collected from 84 survivors, the study explores two hypotheses whether
satisfaction correlates with employment assurances, and whether it relates to financial support
assurances. Findings reveal no statistically significant associations in either case. While descriptive
trends suggest that many satisfied survivors reported receiving or being uncertain about such
promises, these relationships are not strong enough to be statistically meaningful. The results
indicate that survivor satisfaction with reintegration depends on broader psychosocial and
institutional factors beyond employment or financial assurances alone. The study emphasizes the
need for holistic, participatory, and trust-building rehabilitation programs that go beyond verbal
commitments.
