Online TP (Training Program) on SC (Social Cognition) for Schizophrenia (TP;SC)

Randomized controlled trial. Sixty-five participants (83% with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder) were recruited from community mental health teams. Fifty-seven met criteria and agreed to participate in the study. The conditions of cognitive rehabilitation were assigned randomly with support employment CR + IPS (n = 28) and IPS alone (n = 29). Cogpack program was used. Two groups were followed at 8 and 12 months after the baseline.

This work was developed in the island of Tenerife (Spain) within a public service specialised in labour integration of people with disabilities in which an IPS team was set up in 2005. The study was carried out in collaboration with the units of community mental health of the island. These units carry out the control of people with serious mental illnesses including pharmacological treatment and psychosocial programming. All research procedures were approved by the Medicine Committee of Canary Health Services. The follow-up period for the data collection was set between 2013 and 2014. Employment specialists belong to a public institution specialized in work disability.Sixty-five participants but only 57 signed written informed consent and completed the baseline. Two groups were assigned randomly:one with support employment and cognitive rehabilitation the second group with IPS alone
