摘要	Background: There is a lack of research on the effect of community-based psychiatric rehabilitation programs (CBPRs) in individuals with severe mental illness. This research used data from a retrospective study to examine the effect of a CBPR in a community rehabilitation. Methods: Clinical outcomes measures from a retrospective study were collected. Outcome measures were the Allen Cognitive Level Screen assessment, Purdue Pegboard Test, Chu’s Attention Test, and Activities of Daily Living Rating Scale-III (ADLRS-III) before and immediately after 12 months of intervention. Results: The 141 participants with mental illness were an average age of 35.29 years (SD = 8.75). The retrospective review of medical records showed 46 people dropped out within 12 months, and 95 people continued to participate in the rehabilitation program for 1 year. After 1 year of community rehabilitation, there was a trend for the participants who completed the intervention to improve on the ADLRS-III, Purdue Pegboard Test, and Chu’s Attention Test. Participants who performed better on the occupational assessment were more likely to transit to the employment status. Conclusions: This study found the benefits of CBPR in work-related intervention for people with mental illness. Occupational assessments are relevant for studying changes in functional outcomes in people with mental illness receiving community-based rehabilitation.
