Area of Science:
- Psychiatry
- Occupational Therapy
- Rehabilitation Psychology
Background:
- Current psychiatric care trends focus on community autonomy for individuals with mental illness.
- This study examines the impact of individualized interventions on psychiatric inpatients.
- The Occupational Therapy Intervention Process Model (OTIPM) guides these interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of OTIPM-based individualized programs.
- To assess improvements in occupational performance and social interaction skills.
- To support community reintegration for psychiatric inpatients.
Main Methods:
- A pre-post study involving 90 psychiatric inpatients.
- Participants received up to 10 individualized OTIPM sessions.
- Outcomes measured using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS), and Evaluation of Social Interaction (ESI).
Main Results:
- Significant improvements observed in COPM performance and satisfaction (p < 0.001).
- Marked enhancements in AMPS motor and process skills (p < 0.001).
- Substantial gains in social interaction skills as measured by ESI (p < 0.001).
Conclusions:
- OTIPM-based individualized interventions effectively enhance key life skills.
- These improvements are crucial for successful community reintegration.
- The approach offers valuable support for psychiatric inpatients.
