ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
People suffering from chronic mental illness have cognitive impairment and inadequate cognitive processes. The effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation was shown.
Research motivation
Previous studies on this topic have been largely limited to systematic reviews, and although some meta-analyses have been performed, generalizations are difficult due to limited interventions and targets, including computerized cognitive rehabilitation and patients with severe mental illness.
Research objectives
The effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation according to each mental disease and symptom was investigated, and evidence data that can be applied in clinical practice were presented.
Research methods
We attempted to prove the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation in patients with chronic mental illness at home and abroad through a meta-analysis.
Research results
When cognitive rehabilitation was performed on patients with mental illness, a basis for intervention was established. The results of the study revealed that it is effective in improving memory and social skills. There is a need to further prove the effectiveness of variables such as memory and quality of life in the future.
Research conclusions
The meta-analysis showed that cognitive rehabilitation treatment applied to patients with chronic mental illness was effective in improving cognitive function and, in particular, showed a large effect size on sociability and memory.
Research perspectives
In the future, based on the results of this study, it should become the basis for interventions to improve social skills and memory in patients with chronic mental illness. Additionally, the effectiveness of clinical interventions should be continuously verified based on these results.
