 Conventional psychiatric treatments have weaknesses in the treatment of schizophrenia spectrum disorders and have little effect on skill-training and community-based areas. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the role of the Community Re-entry Program as a community-based complementary therapy in increasing therapeutic compliance and reduction of relapse and rehospitalization in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders.

The present study was performed by quantitative method with repeated measures and using randomized clinical trial (RCT) research design. The statistical population of the study included all patients who were admitted to the acute wards of Raazi Psychiatric Hospital between January 20 and March 20, 2017, with a diagnosis of at least one of the schizophrenia spectrum disorders. A total of 80 patients with inclusion criteria were selected by simple random sampling and randomly assigned to the intervention (40 patients) and control (40 patients) groups using a random number table. The Intervention method was the “Community Re-entry Program” which was performed in 16 group sessions with a frequency of 4 sessions per week, in combination with conventional psychiatric treatment in the experimental group, while the patients in the control group received only conventional psychiatric treatment. The only tool used in the present study was a demographic questionnaire and the variables of therapeutic compliance and reduction of relapse and rehospitalization were also evaluated at intervals of 1, 3, and 6 months after discharge through telephone interviews with patients' families. The use of drugs, relapse of the symptoms, and rehospitalization of patients were evaluated in the mentioned time periods. Collected information and data were analyzed using SPSS-16.

 The results showed that the implementation of community re-entry program in combination with conventional psychiatric treatment had an effect on increasing therapeutic compliance ( = 40/145, P= 0/001) and reduction of relapse ( = 45/54, P= 0/001) and rehospitalization rates ( = 40/75, P= 0/001) in patients.

 The Community Re-entry Program, as an adjunct to conventional psychiatric treatment, is one of the effective interventions to increase therapeutic compliance and reduce the rate of relapse and rehospitalization. In order to compensate for the weakness of conventional psychiatric treatment in increasing therapeutic compliance and reducing the relapse and rehospitalization rate of patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders, non-pharmacological complementary therapies such as Community Re-entry Programs can be used.

Conventional psychiatric therapies have shortcomings in the treatment of schizophrenia spectrum disorders and have little effect on skills and community-based areas. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the role of community return program (CRP) as a community-based complementary therapy method in increasing readiness for discharge and post-discharge adjustment in patients with schizophrenia.

The statistical population in this randomized clinical trial (RCT) was all patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders who were admitted to Razi Psychiatric Hospital in 2017. Eighty patients were selected by simple random sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The intervention method was CRP along with conventional psychiatric treatment in the experimental group, while patients in the control group received only conventional psychiatric treatment. The measurement tools included a demographic data form, CRP test, CRP daily Schedule, and World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule. The frequency of patients 'aggression after discharge from the hospital was also determined and recorded at one, three, and six months after discharge from the hospital through telephone interviews with patients' families.

Implementation of CRP along with conventional psychiatric treatment was more effective than control group on the components of discharge readiness (discharge readiness, and awareness of disease, relapse symptoms and medication information) (p=0.01) and coping capacity (increase ability and performance improvement, ability to daily scheduling, aggression rate (p=0.01).

In order to compensate for the weakness of conventional psychiatric treatment in increasing preparedness for discharge and post-discharge coping of patients with schizophrenia, non-pharmacological complementary therapies such as CRP can be used.

The use of rehabilitation treatments along with drug therapy can greatly help in the treatment of schizophrenic patients and their return to society. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Community Re-entry Program on improving insight in people with schizophrenia.

The present study is a pre-test, post-test clinical trial with the statistical population including all patients with schizophrenia admitted to the Tolue rehabilitation center. For this purpose, 40 patients admitted to Tolue Rehabilitation Center who met the inclusion criteria were selected by convenience sampling method and were randomly assigned to experimental (n = 20) and control (n = 20) groups. The experimental group received a community Re-entry program for sixteen sessions. The groups were tested by Anderson's positive and negative symptoms questionnaire before and after the intervention, after completion and two months later. Data were analyzed using t-test for two independent groups, and covariance analysis by SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL; Version 18

The results showed that patients in experimental group compared to control group after implementation of community Re-entry program on negative symptom scales (P = 0.000), disruption (P = 0.000), excitement (P = 0.000)). Anxiety, depression (P = 0.000), positive symptoms (P = 0.000) and total positive and negative symptoms (P = 0.000) at posttest and follow-up on negative symptom scales (P = 0.000). Significant differences were observed between rupture (P = 0.000), excitement (P = 0.01), anxiety and depression (P = 0.000), positive symptoms (P = 0.000) and total positive and negative symptoms (P = 0.001). (P-value<0/05).

Medication adherence has an essential role in good clinical outcome in the treatment of chronic psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder and prevents psychiatric readmission. Medication non-adherence is prevalent among more than fifty percent of patients with chronic psychotic disorders. If a patient stops taking the medicine, the risk of relapse will increase three or five times. The purpose of this article is to report a group work intervention of social work based on Liberman model with the psycho-educational approach to increase the adherence treatment in a psychiatric hospital in Tehran..

 To organize a group in a psychiatric hospital, a social work student followed these stages: needs assessment, writing a proposal for organizing a group, conducting interviews with potential members, doing a pretest, conducting group work sessions and doing a posttest to evaluate the intervention.During the needs assessment, the most eight common problems among patients in the ward were identified and patients’ non-inherence to treatment was selected as the first priority for the group work. Three sessions were conducted based on the community re-entry program. Due to the characteristics of patients in the ward, the psycho-educational approach was applied. Group intervention was evaluated using a pretest and posttest designed for the community re-entry program that was conducted in individual sessions and after the last session, respectively.

According to the results from the pretest and posttest, this group intervention has been effective in learning the importance of treatment adherence in patients.

Community Re-Entry Program (CRP) is one of the new programs that equips participants with the skills and information necessary to enable them to meet the requirements of hospital stay, to live independently in their community. The present study aimed to assess the effect of Community Re-Entry Program (CRP) on the mental state of patients with chronic mental disorders.
In the present study, 40 patients with chronic mental disorders referring to outpatient rehabilitation centers of Hamadan, Iran, were randomly divided into two intervention (N=20) and control (N=20) groups. The intervention group received CRP in 16 educational sessions, each lasting for 60-90-minutes, held twice a week for two months. The control group, on the other hand, took part in the routine occupational therapy of the rehabilitation center. Both groups were evaluated using the Positive and Negative Symptoms Scales (PANSS) questionnaire before and after the intervention.
The results showed a significant change in negative symptoms (P=0.04), general psychopathology (P=0.01), and total score of PANSS questionnaire (P=0.02) in the intervention group compared with those of the control group, after the intervention. However, no significant difference was found between the two groups concerning positive symptoms.
According the research findings, CRP could reduce negative symptoms, general psychopathology, and total scores of mental state in chronic mental patients, which reflects the impact of the program in improving mental state in these patients. Yet, future studies are required to assess the long-term clinical effects of this program.

Drug adherence is poor among patients with bipolar I disorder (BID) and lack of adherence to medication is one of the frequent causes of relapse and readmission in these patients. This study aimed to examine the effect of a community re-entry rehabilitation program on drug adherence in patients with BID.
This randomized clinical trial study was conducted on all patients with BID admitted to Iran Psychiatric Haspital in the first 6 months of 2016. Forty patients were selected by purposive sampling and randomly divided into two groups of intervention and control. The intervention group received the theoretical and practical training of the community re-entry program (CRP) over 16 sessions (three times a week). Pateints in the control group only received current treatment at the center (drug therapy, occupational therapy, and psychotherapy). The patients completed medication adherence rating scale (MARS) before and threre months after the intervention. Data were analyzed using chi-square test, independent t-test and ANOVA with the SPSS 19 software.
The results showed no significant difference between the intervention and control groups regarding the distribution of demographic charactristics. The mean score of patients’medication adherence before the intervention was 4.05 ± 1.05 in the intervention group and 4.35 ± 1.59 in the control group, while after the intervention it was 8.31 ± 0.92 in the intervention group and 4.65 ± 1.56 in the control group, which showed a significant difference in the intervention group (P ≤ 0.001).
Results showed that implementing CRP can enhance drug adherence in patients with BID.

Deficits in social and living skills of chronic mental patients and the unsatisfactoriness of current drug, provide a strong rationale for developing new interventions. Community Re-Entry Program is one of the programs related to social and independent living skills that provides patients with chronic mental disorders with some information and skills. The aim of the present study was to compared symptoms severity and communication and interaction skills of outpatients with severe mental disorders after the Community Re-entry and conventional Psychotherapy programs.
This study was a quasi-experimental design with pre-test, post-test. To this end, 40 patients with severe mental disorders (schizophrenia and mood disorder) referring to daily rehabilitation centers of Hamadan and using simple randomization divided into an Community Re-entry Program (N = 20) and a Conventional Psychotherapy Programs (N = 20) group. The community rehabilitation program group received in 16 60-90-minute educational sessions held twice a week for two months. The conventional Psychotherapy group were used from psychotherapy and occupational therapy. Both groups were evaluated using Assessment of Communication and Interaction Skills (ACIS) questionnaire and positive and negative symptom scales (PANSS) before and after the intervention. To analyze of Mean difference in the two groups, were used from U Mann-Witny test.
The results showed that the two groups were the same in terms of age, marital status and employment levels. Patients who received Community Re-entry Program showed a significant change in information exchange (P = 0.001), relations (P = 0.0001) and total score of ACIS questionnaire (P = 0.0001) and in the positive symptoms (P = 0.01) of PANSS questionnaire compared to the conventional psychotherapy group.
The results showed that Community Re-Entry Program in compared with conventional psychotherapy daily centers played an important role in improving communication and interaction skills among patients with severe mental disorders in the study population. Yet, future studies are required to assess the long-term clinical effects of this program.
