| Abstract: | Purpose: Schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) are associated with social difficulties that call for psychosocial interventions as supplement to standard treatment. The aim of the present study was to assess if there were changes in wellbeing, psychotic-like experiences, mentalisation and self-efficacy from pre- to post-intervention, in persons with SSD who took part in a creative writing group intervention in addition to their standard treatment. Materials and methods: Participants (n = 73 with SSD) self-reported their level of wellbeing (Patient-reported outcome measures; PROMs), psychotic-like experiences (Inventory of psychotic-like anomalous self-experiences; IPASE), mentalisation (Reflective functioning questionnaire; RFQ and Toronto Alexithymia Scale; TAS), and self-efficacy (General self-efficacy scale; GSE) before and after REWRITALIZE, a creative writing group intervention led by a professional author in which participants were introduced to literary forms, wrote spontaneously on those forms, and engaged in literary conversation about their texts. Results: There was a significant difference from pre- to post-intervention in psychotic-like experiences (IPASE), ability to understand one's own reasons and feelings (TAS), and self-efficacy (GSE). Conclusion: Although the study was uncontrolled, these results suggest that REWRITALIZE as supplement to standard treatment may be beneficial to persons with SSD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
