Abstract

The use of inpatient and outpatient psychiatric services were assessed in the 12 months before and after a cognitive remediation (CR) intervention or treatment as usual (TAU) in a sample of 84 patients with schizophrenia who previously underwent an effectiveness study of CR. A smaller number and shorter duration of hospitalizations in acute wards and a higher total number of outpatient and rehabilitative interventions, as well as a more constant, intensive and articulated rehabilitation in the 12 months after the intervention were found in patients who received CR, compared with those who received TAU. CR may modify the use of psychiatric services and the patterns of care of patients with schizophrenia.
