Summary

The round table in outpatient care effectively combats social isolation for long-term patients. This socio-therapeutic group also fosters social relationships and offers valuable psychotherapeutic benefits.

Area of Science:

  • Community mental health services
  • Group therapy research
  • Patient-centered care

Background:

  • The community-based outpatient service of Berne has utilized the 'round table' format for 8 years.
  • This approach has become integral to managing long-term outpatients.
  • Existing literature lacks detailed examination of the round table's patient-perceived functions and therapeutic value.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how patients perceive and utilize the round table.
  • To determine if the round table serves solely as a psychosocial contact to reduce social isolation.
  • To identify other beneficial social relationship functions and key therapeutic factors within this group setting.

Main Methods:

  • Factor analysis was employed to identify major contributing factors.
