Abstract
The aim of the randomized controlled study was to examine the effect of instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) group therapy on social functioning in individuals with schizophrenia. A total of 30 individuals with schizophrenia were randomly assigned to two groups, intervention group (n = 15) and control group (n = 15). All participants received standard mental health services, while the intervention group also received 45 minutes of IADL group therapy. The intervention group had significant improvements, compared to the control group in the areas of IADL, social engagement, and interpersonal behavior. IADL group therapy is recommended for use in patients with schizophrenia.
