Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of social participation on subjective well-being, especially among those who used employment support facilities, based on the understanding of subjective well-being in inpatient and psychiatric day care settings.
Methods: Subjects were clinically stable individuals diagnosed with endogenous psychosis. A total of 40 individuals were hospitalized (n=14), in psychiatric day care (n=10), or in a supportive employment facility (n=16). There were 18 women. The Japanese version of the Short Version of the Subjective Well-being Scale under Antipsychotic Treatment (SWNS-J) was used to assess subjective well-being. The Brief Psychiatric Symptom Rating Scale (BPRS) was used to assess the severity of psychiatric symptoms. The WHO DAS2.0 Japanese version (WHODAS2.0) was used for the social life assessment scale. Spearman's rank correlation was used for statistical analysis.
Results: The SWNS-J scores for subjective well-being were 75.7 (standard deviation=21.2) for inpatient, 71.2 (±22.6) for psychiatric day care, and 68.2 (±15.3) for employment support facilities. In employment support facilities, relatively low correlations were found between the SWNS-J and the WHODAS2.0 sub-items such as "understanding and communication," "independence," "self-care," and "daily life (family)," especially in interpersonal relationships (getting along with others: ρ = -0.65, P < 0.01) was significantly correlated with the SWNS-J.
Conculsion: The results suggest that it is important for occupational therapists to be aware of some daily stressors in interpersonal interactions when working with people in employment support facilities, and to give appropriate consideration to these stressors.
