Applying Short-term Interactive Video Games on Community Patients With Mental Disorders

Overview

The purpose of this study is to design prospective experiments before and after the test. The purpose is to explore whether short-term interactive video games can improve the motivation, interpersonal interaction, and physical and mental health of patients with mental illness in community rehabilitation homes. Samples of mentally ill patients from community rehabilitation homes (full-day rehabilitation institutions) in the northern region were collected using a structured questionnaire for the recipients, as follows: 1. Collect basic information through a structured questionnaire, which includes basic information, disease status, life style and other related information. 2. Three data collections were performed, namely the baseline period (T0) and the pre-program (T1) two weeks later. Three weeks of intervention activities were provided twice a week, followed by a post-test ( post-program, T2). 3. After a total of six times mentioned above, each 60 minutes of interactive video game intervention, the patient completed the activity feedback form, reflecting the feelings and feedback of participating in the activity.
