Abstract

Background: Resilience, an increasingly important concept in the field of mental illness, refers to the active process by which individuals with mental illness positively adapt to adversity, facilitating their reintegration into society and return to the community. However, the recent pandemic has significantly impacted rehabilitation facility operations, affecting rehabilitation processes and personnel management. Thus, in the post-pandemic period, there is a need for empirical studies to revalidate the resilience of patients in halfway houses and the factors influencing it.

Purpose: The aims of the study were to explore the resilience and important factors of influence in patients with schizophrenia residing in halfway houses.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was employed, targeting individuals with schizophrenia residing in community rehabilitation homes in northern Taiwan. A convenience sampling method was used and 228 participants were enrolled. Research tools used in this study included measures of personal demographics, psychiatric symptoms, cognitive functions, attitudes towards medication, social support, and resilience.

Results: The average resilience score was 21.87 (SD = 8.24), with 62.7% of the participants classified with low resilience. Resilience was found to correlate significantly with age group, educational level, ability to self-administer medication, participation in computer-based rehabilitation programs, cognitive functions, attitudes towards medication, and level of social support. However, the factors identified as statistically significant were limited to attitudes toward medication, ability to self-administer medication, and participation in computer-based rehabilitation programs.

Conclusions / implications for practice: A majority of the participants, patients with schizophrenia residing in community rehabilitation homes, exhibited low resilience. This highlights the need for community mental health case managers and rehabilitation home nursing staff to work closely with these patients to enhance their resilience. Particular attention should be paid to patients' ability to self-administer medication, their attitudes toward medication, and their participation in computer-based rehabilitation programs.

[居住在中途之家的慢性精神疾病患者的复原力]。
背景:心理弹性是精神疾病领域一个越来越重要的概念,是指精神疾病个体积极适应逆境,促进其重新融入社会和回归社区的主动过程。然而,最近的大流行病严重影响了康复设施的运作,影响了康复进程和人员管理。因此,在大流行后时期,有必要进行实证研究,以重新验证中途之家患者的复原力及其影响因素。目的:探讨精神分裂症中途之家患者的心理弹性及其影响因素。​采用方便抽样法,共纳入受试者228人。本研究使用的研究工具包括个人人口统计、精神症状、认知功能、对药物的态度、社会支持和恢复力。结果:心理弹性平均分为21.87分(SD = 8.24), 62.7%的被试被归为低心理弹性。心理弹性与年龄、教育水平、自我用药能力、参与计算机康复计划、认知功能、对药物的态度和社会支持水平显著相关。然而,具有统计学意义的因素仅限于对药物治疗的态度、自我用药的能力和参与基于计算机的康复计划。结论/实践意义:大多数参与者,居住在社区康复之家的精神分裂症患者,表现出低弹性。这突出了社区精神卫生病例管理人员和康复家庭护理人员需要与这些患者密切合作,以提高他们的适应能力。应特别注意患者自我用药的能力,他们对药物的态度,以及他们参与计算机康复计划的情况。
