简要总结
People living with schizophrenia often experience significant disruptions to their ability to maintain a balanced lifestyle and perform daily activities. These disruptions can hinder their ability to participate successfully in community life. In response to these challenges, a pilot study was planned to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of a telerehabilitation-based occupational therapy program aimed at promoting life balance and functional skills. The eight-week intervention is delivered remotely via videoconferencing and incorporates personalized goal setting, activity planning, skills training, and problem-solving strategies tailored to each participant. Clients diagnosed with schizophrenia who could engage in virtual sessions were invited to voluntarily participate, and pre- and post-intervention assessments were planned to measure outcomes related to instrumental activities of daily living and perceived life balance. This study aims to generate preliminary data on whether a remote, therapist-guided approach can positively impact daily functioning and quality of life. This information will guide the development of larger-scale trials in the future.

Life Balance
时间窗: 8 weeks
Life Balance Inventory (LBI): The LBI is a self-report instrument that evaluates the congruence between the time an individual spends on 53 daily activities and the time they would prefer to spend. The assessment is comprised of two steps. First, individuals indicate whether they engage in each activity. Second, they rate their satisfaction with time spent over the past month on a 3-point scale ranging from 1 (very unbalanced) to 3 (very balanced). The LBI score, ranging from 1.00 to 3.00, is a quantitative metric that quantifies life balance. Higher scores indicate higher levels of life balance. Furthermore, four subscale scores are derived from 51 items: The scale comprises six items in the domain of health, 20 items in the domain of challenge/interest, 15 items in the domain of identity, and 10 items in the domain of relationships. The LBI demonstrates excellent internal consistency in the general population (Cronbach's α = 0.97)
Instrumental Activities of Daily Living
时间窗: 8 weeks
Lawton-Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale (IADL): The Lawton-Brody IADL Scale is a widely used observational tool developed to assess an individual's functional competence in performing eight instrumental activities necessary for independent living. These activities include the use of the telephone, shopping, food preparation, housekeeping, laundry, transportation, medication management, and financial management. Each item is evaluated using a 3-point scale, with 1 indicating "cannot perform," 2 indicating "needs assistance," and 3 indicating "independent." The total score ranges from 8 to 24. Scores on this scale range from 8 to 24, with higher scores indicating greater independence. The scale is commonly used to make classifications, with scores of 8-10 indicating dependence, 11-16 indicating semi-dependence, and 17-24 indicating independence. The original version exhibited adequate internal consistency, as evidenced by a Cronbach's alpha of 0.85 .
