The Intensive Adult Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program of the Central Highlands (APROTCH) is a psycho-social rehabilitation program which aims to address the needs of young adults who have recently experienced the onset of serious mental illness. The program was developed in 1996 in consultation with the Early Psychosis Prevention and Intervention Centre (EPPIC) Victorian statewide services, in response to a significant change in the characteristics of referrals received.

This study attempted to examine the changes and related factors in discharged chronic mental patients attending a psychiatric rehabilitation program in Hong Kong adopting a self-help group (SHG) approach with holistic care emphases on the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual functioning of the program participants. A quasi-experimental design involving an experimental group (109 participants attending the program) and a control group (154 patients from a psychiatric outpatient clinic who had never attended any SHG before) was adopted with the participants responding to measures assessing their functioning in the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual domains. Results showed that those who joined the SHG with holistic care elements had more friends and more social satisfaction than the control subjects. Duration of attendance, religious involvement, and group involvement were three key factors related to the outcomes of the program participants. This pioneering study provides support for the effective use of the SHG approach with holistic care elements to help discharged chronic mental patients in the Chinese culture.

BackgroundThis study compared long-term outcome of serious mental illness in two states using a matched design to assess psychiatric rehabilitation programmes; Vermont subjects participated in a model psychiatric rehabilitation programme, while the Maine group received more traditional care.MethodMaine and Vermont subjects (n = 269) were matched by age, sex, diagnosis, and chronicity. Demographic, illness, and life history information were abstracted from hospital records by clinicians blind to outcome. DSM–III criteria were applied retrospectively. Outcome was assessed by clinicians blind to history.ResultsVermont subjects alive at follow-up (n = 180) were more productive (P < 0.0009), had fewer symptoms (P < 0.002), better community adjustment (P < 0.001) and global functioning (P < 0.0001) than Maine subjects (n = 119).ConclusionsOutcome differences may be due to Vermont's model programme and a policy of allowing an earlier opportunity for community life.
