Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the effects of resourcefulness group intervention on facilitating recovery and improving the quality of life in patients with chronic schizophrenia.

Methods: A longitudinal and interventional study with a quasi-experimental research design and convenience sampling were used in this study. Patients with chronic schizophrenia from a psychiatric hospital in northern Taiwan were recruited as subjects and were divided under random assignment into the experimental group and the control group with twenty participants in each. The twenty participants in the experiment group were further randomly distributed into two groups. Both received resourcefulness group intervention weekly for six weeks, while the control group followed regular care routines and underwent conventional treatment. All participants took a pretest before the intervention, the first posttest after six rounds of intervention, and the second posttest four weeks after the group intervention was completed. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, including the Chinese version of the Resourcefulness Scale (C-RS), the Chinese Questionnaire about the Process of Recovery (QPR), the WHOQOL-BREF Taiwan Version, and other personal information.
