Filter by:Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Visual Arts Group Therapy based on Watson's Human Care Model (VAGT-WHCM) on perceived social support and functional improvement in individuals with schizophrenia. Design: This research was carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study with a pre-test-post-test and follow-up design, which is one of the quantitative research methods. Method: The study was carried out in Yenimahalle Community Mental Health Center between December 2022 and January 2023. The sample of the study consisted of 67 individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia, including the intervention (n=34) and control group (n=33), who met the inclusion criteria and were determined by simple randomization method. VAGT-WHCM was applied to the intervention group, consisting of six sessions, lasting 90 minutes on average, once a week in three groups. The control group participated only in the routine follow-up, treatment and practices in the institution. The intervention and control groups were evaluated with the "Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS)" and the "Functional Recovery Scale (FRS)" before therapy (pre-test), post-therapy (post-test), and one month later (follow-up). The CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) flowcart is used in this study. Hypothesis: H1-1: Visual arts group therapy has an effect on perceived social support by individuals with schizophrenia. H1-2: Visual arts group therapy has an effect on the functional recovery levels of individuals with schizophrenia. H1-3: The change in the perceived social support level of individuals with schizophrenia before and after visual arts group therapy is associated with the change in functional recovery.

This study is taking place to examine the preliminary effects of improvisational therapy (improv group) on social anxiety for youth at the Youth Wellness Centre (YWC). The improv group will run for 12-weeks as a drop-in group. A typical session will begin with stretching, simple breathing and an activity to promote group cohesion. Following this, improvisation games and activities will be introduced with the goal of promoting the following skills: assertiveness, acceptance, problem solving, co-operate skills, non-verbal communication, mindfulness, and memory. Youth who consent to the study will be asked to complete a set of brief questionnaires the first time they attend one of the sessions. Youth who have attended at least 3 sessions will be asked again to complete questionnaires following the completion of week 12 session. Youth will also rate their anxiety and distress on a simple rating scale at the beginning and end of each session. Additionally, all participants (who have attended three or more sessions) will be invited to complete a 30 to 45 minute qualitative interview following the 12 week session. Participants are predicted to show a decrease in social anxiety, generalized anxiety and depression symptoms, and an increase in self-esteem, and perceived social support.
This randomized controlled trial (RCT) compared the efficacy between the Social Enterprise Intervention (SEI) and Individual Placement and Support (IPS) with homeless youth with mental illness. Methods: Non-probability quota sampling sampling was used to recruit 72 homeless youth from one agency, who were randomized to the SEI (n=36) or IPS (n=36) conditions.
Some Veterans who recently served in the military report significant psychological problems based on their experiences in the military. Stressors that these Veterans face when they transition out of the military can acerbate these problems and negatively impact their long-term physical and psychological well-being. The investigators are conducting a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of providing Veterans who are transitioning back into their civilian communities trained, peer mentorship (Pro Vetus) and membership in a Veteran Support Organization (VSO) Team Red, White, and Blue (TM RWB) to reduce transition stressors, maintain psychological and physical health, reduce suicides and reduce criminal incidents.
