Purpose: To assess the influence of the Part-to-Whole Program on functional remission levels in individuals with schizophrenia enrolled at a community mental health center (CMHC).
Method: Sixty individuals receiving follow up and treatment at two CMHCs were randomly allocated to intervention and control groups. The Part-to-Whole Program was implemented in the intervention group over a 5-week period. The program's efficacy was assessed using the Functional Remission of General Schizophrenia Scale (FROGS).
Results: Posttest scores of the intervention group in the FROGS sub-dimensions (social functioning, health and treatment, daily life, and occupational functioning) were found to be considerably higher than those in the control group (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The Part-to-Whole Program, led by nurses in CMHCs, is an effective and feasible intervention that improves social functioning, health and treatment, daily life, and occupational functioning of individuals with schizophrenia.
