Abstract Background and Hypothesis Cognitive remediation (CR) benefits cognition functioning in psychosis but we do not know the optimal level of therapist contact, so evaluated potential different CR modes. Study Design A multi-arm, multi-center, single-blinded, adaptive trial therapist-supported CR. Participants from 11 NHS early intervention services were independently randomized to Independent, Group, One-to-One, or Treatment-as-usual (TAU). The primary outcome was functional recovery...
Abstract Background To provide precision cognitive remediation therapy (CR) for schizophrenia, we need to understand whether the mechanism improved functioning is via cognition improvements. This has not been rigorously tested potential moderator effects. Study Design We used data (n = 377) from a randomized controlled trial using CIRCuiTS, therapist-supported CR, with participants first-episode psychosis services. applied structured equation modeling test whether: (1) CR hours explain goal...
Abstract Background Although cognitive remediation (CR) improves cognition and functioning, the key features that promote or inhibit its effectiveness, especially between domains, remain unknown. Discovering these will help to develop CR for more impact. Aim To identify interrelations cognition, symptoms, using a novel network analysis approach how affects recovery outcomes. Methods A secondary of randomized controlled trial data (N = 165) in early psychosis. Regularized partial correlation...
Automated virtual reality (VR) therapy has the potential to substantially increase access evidence-based psychological treatments. The results of a multicenter randomized controlled trial showed that gameChange VR cognitive reduces agoraphobic avoidance people diagnosed with psychosis, especially for those severe avoidance.We set out use peer research approach explore participants' experiences therapy. This in-depth experiential exploration user experience may inform implementation in...
Cognitive remediation (CR) can reduce the cognitive difficulties experienced by people with psychosis. Adapting CR to be delivered remotely provides new opportunities for extending its use. However, doing so requires further evaluation of acceptability from service users' views. We evaluate therapist-supported remote perspectives users using participatory user-centred methods.
