Article Synopsis
- Community-based group rehabilitation activities can positively affect schizophrenia patients' social and self-cognition, particularly through short-term group cognitive behavioral therapy (G-CBT).
- G-CBT helped improve self-esteem, self-efficacy, and positive coping strategies among patients, while also reducing negative coping styles and enhancing overall quality of life.
- The study found that patients who received G-CBT showed significant improvements in mental health and functioning compared to those in the control group.
Aims: Although community psychiatric rehabilitation plays an important role in returning persons with schizophrenia to the society, many patients in China stay in rehabilitation centers for longer periods of time and subsequently fail to integrate. This study is aimed to explore the underlying causes of this trend and identify possible solutions.
Methods: This study used a qualitative descriptive design to examine the persons with schizophrenia who stay in rehabilitation centers for longer periods of time.
