Read the detailed description

The appearance of a mental disorder forces the person to modify their occupational choices and participation, due, among other aspects, to the continuous presence of symptoms and relapses. 'Occupational self-analysis' programs are based on increasing occupational awareness to promote changes in meaningful occupational participation. The objective of this study was to test the effectiveness of the 'Occupational self-analysis' program in people with Serious Mental Disorder specially on life satisfaction, participation in meaningful activities, perception of balance and occupational satisfaction, compared to the standard intervention received in a Therapeutic Community of Mental Health.

The program was implemented for 4 months, twice a week, while the control group received the standard treatment.

Ten people participated in the 'Occupational self-analysis' program. Results show that participants improved their perception of occupational balance and occupational satisfaction, as well as increasing their participation in meaningful activities.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Satisfaction with Life Scale

    It is a self-administered questionnaire that consists of 5 items. It measures the subjective criterion of life satisfaction, with multiple response alternatives ranging between 5 (strongly agree) and 1 (strongly disagree). The score ranges between 5 and 25. The reliability index calculated for the Cronbach's alpha scale indicates that the scale had acceptable internal consistency

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 16 weeks

  2. Occupational Balance Questionnaire

    It consists of a brief self-report questionnaire with 13 items that measure occupational balance. The person has to rate the degree of agreement with each of the statements presented. A 6-point ordinal scale is used ranging from 0 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Thus, the maximum score that can be obtained is 65 points by adding the points for each item which means the greater the occupational balance. The scale, in its Spanish version, has adequate psychometric properties.

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 16 weeks
