Area of Science:

Psychiatry
Mental Health Rehabilitation
Clinical Trials

Background:

Schizophrenia often involves cyclical illness patterns, impacting self-care and functioning.
Rehabilitation is crucial for managing chronic mental illness, with life skills programs aiming to enhance independent living.
These programs focus on needs critical for independent functioning in community settings.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the effectiveness of life skills programs for individuals with chronic mental health conditions.
To compare life skills programs against standard care or other comparable therapies.

Main Methods:

Conducted a systematic review of randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials.
Searched multiple databases including Cochrane Schizophrenia Group Trials Register, BIOSIS, CENTRAL, CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO.
Extracted and analyzed data using random effects models for dichotomous and continuous outcomes.

Main Results:

Four randomized controlled trials involving 318 participants were included.
No significant differences were observed in life skills performance, study retention, or symptom scores (PANSS, HAM-D) between life skills programs and standard care.
Quality of life scores and social performance skills also showed no significant differences when compared to standard care or support groups.

Conclusions:

Current evidence does not support the effectiveness of life skills programs for chronic mental illnesses.
Further adequately powered studies are required to ascertain the benefits of life skills training for this population.
