First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tested whether a nurse-led community-based rehabilitation program is feasible and acceptable for people with psychosis in Blantyre, Malawi. Sixty adults with psychosis were randomly assigned to either usual care or the home-based program. The study focused on recruitment, retention, satisfaction, and session attendance, not on whether the program improves symptoms.
