Aim of the study:
The main aim of the study was to examine how patients’ initial levels of psychopathology and general functioning affected their recovery during treatment in a day rehabilitation psychiatric ward.

Subject or material and methods:
Demographic and clinical data were collected during patients’ hospitalization in a day rehabilitation psychiatric ward. Sixty patients were included. The variables were measured at baseline (Pretest) and at the end (Posttest). The study included the following tools: the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), the Global Assessment of Functioning Scale (GAF) and the Illness and the Recovery Management Scale (IMRS).

Results:
The results showed a significant improvement in patients’ subjective experiences of illness management and recovery between the Pretest and Posttest. In addition, an initial lower level of psychopathology and better general functioning, as assessed by clinicians, improved treatment outcomes. Treatment led to a reduction of psychopathological symptoms and improved daily functioning in the day rehabilitation unit. Discussion: The findings of this study support the importance of multidimensional rehabilitation approaches for schizophrenia treatment, thus emphasizing the need for thorough diagnostic assessment before treatment to ensure a more personalized approach.
