AIM: To investigate the effect of social rehabilitation intervention on the social function and improvement of psychiatric symptom in hospitalized patients with mental disorders. METHODS: Totally 138 inpatients with mental disorders from Changning Mental Health Center in Shanghai were randomized into rehabilitation group and control group. Rehabilitation instruction was performed in the rehabilitation group, but not in the control group. The patients' psychiatric symptom and recovery of social ability were measured by Krawiecka scale and Social Disability Screening Schedule (SDSS) before and after social rehabilitation intervention. RESULTS: Compared with before social rehabilitation intervention, patients in the rehabilitation group after social rehabilitation intervention showed remarkably less Krawiecka and SDSS values (Krawiecka scale: 18.87 +/- 8.67, 8.62 +/- 4.52; SDSS: 29.45 +/- 18.87, 18.32 +/- 12.87) with significant difference between them (t = 10.174, 4.048, both p = 0.000), while patients in the control group had no differences in Krawiecka and SDSS values (Krawiecka scale: 17.84 +/- 5.18, 16.17 +/- 5.31; SDSS: 25.99 +/- 13.51, 26.20 +/- 13.49) (t = 1.870, -0.400, p = 0.064, 0.686). CONCLUSION: Social rehabilitation intervention is useful for hospitalized patients with mental disorders to reduce psychotic symptoms and recover social ability.
