Objective:
This study examines to what extent individuals who need psychosocial support actually benefit from the following support services: capability-oriented activities, mobile caring and support, psychosocial counselling centre, and assisted living. Furthermore, the impact of these support services on clients' quality of life is investigated.
Methods:
We statistically analysed data (n = 2,099) collected via client satisfaction surveys over five years (2013 to 2017). The clients reported the benefits they experienced regarding various aspects such as living, coping with everyday life, or confidence, as well as their perceived quality of life.
Results And Conclusions:
The data suggest, that psychosocial after-care can improve and stabilize clients' quality of life. Clients of all types of support services reported similar improvements of their quality of life. However, clients from different types of support services reported different kinds of benefits, and, accordingly, improvements in quality of life were predicted from different kinds of benefits.
