Social cognitive interventions for people with schizophrenia: A systematic review

Aims
In this study, we investigated the effects of group assertiveness training on assertiveness, social anxiety and satisfaction with interpersonal communication among patients with chronic schizophrenia.

Background
Only limited studies highlighted the effectiveness of group assertiveness training among inpatients with schizophrenia. Given the lack of group assertiveness training among patients with schizophrenia, further development of programmes focusing on facilitating assertiveness, self-confidence and social skills among inpatients with chronic schizophrenia is needed.

Design
This study used a prospective, randomized, single-blinded, parallel-group design.

Methods
This study employed a prospective, randomized, parallel-group design. Seventy-four patients were randomly assigned to experimental group receiving 12 sessions of assertiveness training, or a supportive control group. Data collection took place for the period of June 2009–July 2010.

Results
Among patients with chronic schizophrenia, assertiveness, levels of social anxiety and satisfaction with interpersonal communication significantly improved immediately after the intervention and at the 3-month follow-up in the intervention group. The results of a generalized estimating equation (GEE) indicated that: (1) assertiveness significantly improved from pre- to postintervention and was maintained until the follow-up; (2) anxiety regarding social interactions significantly decreased after assertiveness training; and (3) satisfaction with interpersonal communication slightly improved after the 12-session intervention and at the 3-month follow-up.

Conclusion
Assertivenss training is a non-invasive and inexpensive therapy that appears to improve assertiveness, social anxiety and interpersonal communication among inpatients with chronic schizophrenia. These findings may provide a reference guide to clinical nurses for developing assertiveness-training protocols.

The effects of assertiveness training in patients with schizophrenia: a randomized, single-blind, controlled study.

Research on the recovery domains beside clinical recovery of people with severe mental illness in need of supported accommodations is limited. The aim of this study was (1) to investigate which recovery interventions exist for this group of people and (2) to explore the scientific evidence. We conducted a scoping review, including studies with different designs, evaluating the effectiveness the recovery interventions available. The search resulted in 53 eligible articles of which 22 focused on societal recovery, six on personal recovery, five on functional recovery, 13 on lifestyle-interventions, and seven on creative and spiritual interventions. About a quarter of these interventions showed added value and half of them initial promising results. The research in this area is still limited, but a number of recovery promoting interventions on other areas than clinical recovery have been developed and evaluated. Further innovation and research to strengthen and repeat the evidence are needed.

Recovery in Supported Accommodations: A Scoping Review and Synthesis of Interventions for People with Severe Mental Illness

This study aimed to determine the effect of an assertiveness training program on assertiveness skills and social interaction anxiety of individuals with schizophrenia. A quasi-experimental design was used in this study. Sixty-two male individuals with schizophrenia were recruited from inpatient wards of El-Maamoura hospital for Psychiatric Medicine in Alexandria, Egypt. Patients who had duration of illness ranging from 5 to 15 years and were able to read and write comprised two matched groups with 32 in the study group and 30 in the control group. Patients in both groups received their psychotropic medications, but only those in the study group received group training sessions of assertiveness skills, one session every other day, 60 minutes each for ten sessions. Both groups were pre and post-tested. As for the study group, an additional assessment was done after the fifth session (intra-test). Patients were interviewed on individual base using reliable adapted versions of both assertiveness and social interaction anxiety scales. The results indicated that although the mean scores of assertiveness skills tended to increase in the study group and decrease in the control group at post-test, there were no significant changes between the study and the control group (t = 0.81, p = .42). Patients receiving the assertiveness training program had less initiation anxiety than those in the control group (t = 3.34, p = .001). Social interaction anxiety had shown a tendency to gradually decrease with the lengthening of the group treatment time. The findings documented that although assertiveness training program led to insufficient acquisition of assertiveness skills, it was demonstrated to be effective in reducing the social interaction anxiety in individuals with schizophrenia. Implications for further improving the effectiveness of the assertiveness training program are suggested.
