Abstract

To determine clinical and social indicators in in-patients with schizophrenia depending on their participation in psychiatric rehabilitation. One hundred in-patients were randomly assigned to receive either rehabilitation along with the standard pharmacological treatment or standard pharmacological treatment alone. Thirty-five patients from the main group and 39 patients from control group completed three-month participation in the study. The Life Skills Profile (LSP-16), HoNOS and PANSS were used at baseline and post-intervention assessment. There was a statistically significant decrease in scores of almost all LCP-16 subscales and PANSS in the rehabilitation group compared with the control group. No between-group differences in HoNOS scores were observed. The findings support implementation of psychiatric rehabilitation programs for in-patients with schizophrenia.
