Effects of psychosocial program for preparing long-term hospitalized patients with schizophrenia for discharge from hospital : randomized controlled trial . AIM The aims of the present study were to revise the Community Re-entry Program-Japanese version and to review the effectiveness of the revised Program , named the Discharge Preparation Program . METHODS This study was a randomized controlled trial . The Discharge Preparation Program ( DPP ) was the intervention condition ( n = 26 ) , and the usual rehabilitation program was the control condition ( n = 23 ) . Outcome indicators included factors that make patient discharge difficult ( which nurses evaluated ) , psychiatric symptom , knowledge about the illness or medication , and the number of patients who were discharged within 6 months after the end of a program . RESULTS Significant improvements were found in the score of the 'Issues on treatment compliance ' factor and the score of the 'Autistic life ' factor , which are subscales of the Discharge Difficulty Scale , for the DPP group , on two-way ANOVA ( 'Issues on treatment compliance ' : F = 3.818 , P < 0.10 ; 'Autistic life ' : F = 4.155 , P < 0.05 ) These factors affected discharge outcome . Thus , the program may be capable of promoting discharge of long-term hospitalized psychiatric patients . With regard to the number of patients discharged in 6 months after the end of a program , there was no significant difference between both groups . CONCLUSION The present result is in agreement with past studies , and the DPP is useful in discharge support for patients with schizophrenia in Japan .
