Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Psychosocial Rehabilitation
  • Mental Health Assessment

Background:

  • Evaluating patient functionality is crucial for psychosocial rehabilitation in schizophrenia.
  • Traditional methods relied heavily on psychological scales, often overlooking patient and family insights.
  • Patient-reported limitations on daily life were previously underrepresented in functional assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate how incorporating patient and relative perspectives improves functionality evaluation.
  • To highlight the benefits of a mixed-methods approach in psychosocial rehabilitation planning.
  • To offer a more holistic view of patient functionality for therapeutic interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Employed a mixed-methods (QUAN + QUAL) research design.
  • Collected quantitative data using the Family APGAR and BELS scales.
  • Gathered qualitative data through focus groups with patients and their relatives.

Main Results:

  • The integration of quantitative and qualitative data provided deeper understanding of scale-reported issues.
  • Combined perspectives offered richer information for planning patient therapies.
  • Identified discrepancies between scale-based assessments and lived experiences.

Conclusions:

  • A mixed-methods approach offers a more comprehensive evaluation of patient functionality.
  • Integrating patient and family views enhances the planning of psychosocial rehabilitation.
  • This comprehensive approach can lead to improved quality of life for patients and their families.
