Objective : The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of craft program on mental health and function of patients with schizophrenia.
Methods : In this research, a schizophrenia patient was selected on the basis of diagnostic criteria DSM-IV. The patient was involved in the craft program once a week for seven weeks. The data were collected between February and April 2012. Health of Nation Outcome Scale(HoNOS) and the abbreviated Life Skills Profile-16(LSP-16) were used to test the mental health and function.
Results : This study showed the small change to the mental health and function score through the craft program.
