Effectiveness of a needs-tailored nurse-led recovery program for community-dwelling people with schizophrenia: a cluster-randomized controlled trial.

Background: Meeting people's needs is positively correlated with their recovery. However, recovery services rarely include nurse-led programs tailored to the needs of these people. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a new needs-tailored recovery program by using a cluster-randomized controlled trial design.

[Community Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing: Practice and Challenges].

Due to the rising incidence of social risk incidents, the Mental Health Act was amended to provide community treatment and community support for patients with mental illness. Community mental health centers have added a public sector function to follow-up with the care of mentally ill patients using case management as an integrated service model. Under this amendment, the unique role and task of community psychiatric mental healthcare should be framed and developed.

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Effectiveness of Adherence Therapy and Its Treatment Duration in Patients with Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders.

Background: Adherence therapy (AT) is an intervention for improving medication adherence of people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders, but no systematic reviews have yet summarized the effectiveness and minimum treatment duration of AT. We here aimed to systematically examine the effectiveness of AT in improving outcomes versus treatment as usual (TAU) and its minimum effective duration for people diagnosed with schizophrenia spectrum disorders.

Patients And Methods: Eligible randomized controlled trials were identified from four databases (Web of Science, PubMed, CINAHL and Cochrane Library) for the period 1 January 2006 to 1 January 2023.

Effects of empowerment-based illness management on the medication adherence and recovery of persons with schizophrenia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Medication adherence and recovery rates are <50% among persons with schizophrenia; therefore, this health concern needs attention. Empowerment is a vital element for behavioural change, but previous studies have presented different results and lack specific connotations about empowerment. Therefore, this study systematically reviewed and meta-analysed the effects of empowerment-based illness management on the medication adherence and recovery of persons with schizophrenia.

Improving Medication Adherence in Community-Dwelling Patients with Schizophrenia Through Therapeutic Alliance and Medication Attitude: A Serial Multiple Mediation Model.

Background: Increased medication adherence improves patient outcomes and lowers the overall cost of care by preventing disease relapse and hospital readmission. Several systematic reviews have identified that insight, therapeutic alliance, and attitude towards medication affect medication adherence in patients with schizophrenia; however, no study has examined all the aforementioned variables together nor has discussed the chains of these mediators.

Purpose: To examine the insight-medication adherence relationship among community-dwelling schizophrenia patients through a serial multiple mediation model of therapeutic alliance and medication attitude.

Factors associated with personal recovery among psychiatric nursing home residents.

WHAT IS KNOWN ABOUT THE SUBJECT?: Poor recovery will cause harm to the quality of life and well-being of residents and that the scope of influence includes the self, family and society. No study to date has investigated empowerment and the other multiple factors associated with personal recovery among psychiatric nursing home residents. WHAT DOES THE PAPER ADD TO EXISTING KNOWLEDGE?: The factors associated with personal recovery are empowerment, social support and global functioning.

Mediating effect of empowerment on the relationship between global function and personal recovery among community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Functional degradation among community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia can negatively influence their recovery. Given the importance of patient empowerment during recovery, this study examined the mediating effect of empowerment on the relationship between global function and personal recovery among community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia.

Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia from northern and central Taiwan.

Mediating Effect Of The Motivation For Medication Use On Disease Management And Medication Adherence Among Community-Dwelling Patients With Schizophrenia.

Background: Nearly half of patients with schizophrenia do not adhere to the long-term medical treatment needed to manage their disease. Programs to promote medication adherence include promotion of motivation as a critical element to influence task performance.

Purpose: This study investigated the mediating effect of motivation for medication use on disease management and medication adherence in schizophrenia.
