Occupational Therapy for Schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia is a severe mental condition characterized by symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions, as well as negative symptoms such as impaired thinking (language impairment), lack of motivation, and cognitive symptoms such as memory and attention problems.
Schizophrenia is a condition that can go into remission and relapse, and is associated with impaired psychosocial and occupational functioning.
One treatment approach is through participation in meaningful activities and occupations.
One treatment modality is occupational therapy, an intervention that supports continued participation in daily life through participation in meaningful activities and occupations.
Occupational therapists are professionals trained to provide therapies that focus on improving occupational functioning and participation rather than treating symptoms.
A wide range of modalities are used based on the needs of the individual patient, but similar interventions may be delivered by staff who are not trained as occupational therapists.
The purpose of the paper presented is to examine the effects of occupational therapy provided by occupational therapists and non-occupational therapists.
Conclusions.
In this study, there was no randomized controlled trial.
The conclusion of the study was that since there was no randomized controlled trial, the significance of the occupational therapy provided could not be concluded.
The non-occupational therapists in this case seem to be doctors, nurses, other health care professionals, or support staff.
This study was conducted by
A database search identified 1633 relevant records, and From these, 17 full-text articles were examined in detail.None of these studies could be included in the review, and we are going to exclude a total of 14 studies.
During my current certification, I had solved the national exam questions that are given for occupational therapists, and I was under the impression that I could not perform occupational therapy without a reasonable amount of knowledge.
It looks like you were searching on November 4, 2016 and July 26, 2018. With only these conclusions, I'm curious to see how this progresses! This is why we introduced it.
