Sažetak
Background: Presently few studies demonstrate improved outcomes in patients with schizophrenia treated in day rehabilitation
centres. One reason is the absence of an evidence based protocol for rehabilitation in such centres. Hence further research is
required to assess whether such a protocol will improve psychosocial outcomes.
Aims: We performed a controlled evaluation study of a protocol based rehabilitation day program ( RDC) for persons suffering
from schizophrenia.
Methods: Patients from the experimental group (N=50) were treated within the RDC for a 6 month period. The control group
were patients on the waiting list for the RDC. Quality of life (MANSA), social functioning (OSA) and self-esteem (Rosenberg) were
measured before and after the intervention. Results: Statistically significant improvement was shown in social functioning measured
by OSA (F(1,96)=33.7; p<0.001), quality of life measured by MANSA (F(1,96)=69.3; p<0.001) and self esteem measured by
Rosenberg scale (F(1,96)=84.5; p<0.001) for patients treated in the RDC compared with the control group, conversely, the control
group outcomes deteriorated.
Conclusion: An evidence based protocol for rehabilitation within the RDC lead to improved social outcomes and recovery for
persons suffering from schizophrenia.
