Methods : The model was applied to 24 chronic mental patients and the evaluation was done at the baseline and at every 6 month since intervention. The model provided various services at the levels of both direct and indirect interventions. Key interventions were on daily living skills social skills, vocation rehabilitation, and life satisfaction. The analysis was done at the 7 months after the intervention, and the cases for analyses were reduced to 10, due to patients’ reject on testing.
Results :The positive and statistically significant effects appeared only on social skills, especially on verbal and communicative skills.
