Outline of Final Research Achievements

It was suggested that treatment fidelity and setting of rehabilitation goal (e.g., work, independent living) is important in administering cognitive remediation to people with psychiatric illness such as schizophrenia. This was confirmed while present researchers provided supervision to who provide cognitive remediation. It was shown that treatment providers' skills, patients' treatment fidelity, and availability of various cognitive tasks were deemed to be the core of treatment fidelity and relevant. Cognitive remediation is known to be the most efficacious when combined with comprehensive psychiatric rehabilitation (i.e., psychiatric day care) and attendance at workshops. It was confirmed in this study that people with psychiatric illness receiving cognitive remediation attend psychiatric day care or workshop currently or in the near future.
