Primary outcomes

  1. Change scores of Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES)

    Time frame: 3 times: 1 to 2 weeks before intervention, 1 day after intervention and at 1 month after intervention

    The Chinese version of Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) was implemented as self-esteem measures. The total score ranged from 10 to 40, with higher scores reflecting higher levels of self-esteem.

  2. Change scores of General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES)

    Time frame: 3 times: 1 to 2 weeks before intervention, 1 day after intervention and at 1 month after intervention

    The Chinese version of General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) consisted of 10 items, assessing optimistic self-beliefs to cope with a variety of difficult demands in life. The total score ranged from 10 to 40, with higher scores indicating more self-efficacy.

  3. Change scores of Schizophrenia Quality of Life Scale Revision 4 (SQLS-R4)

    Time frame: 3 times: 1 to 2 weeks before intervention, 1 day after intervention and at 1 month after intervention

    The Chinese version of Schizophrenia Quality of Life Scale Revision 4 (SQLS-R4) was administered to measure subjective quality of life. The total scores ranged from 33-165, with higher scores indicating comparatively lower quality of life.

  4. Change scores of Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness (ISMIS)

    Time frame: 3 times: 1 to 2 weeks before intervention, 1 day after intervention and at 1 month after intervention

    The Chinese version of Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness (ISMIS) consists of 29 items incorporated in five domains: alienation, stereotype endorsement, discrimination experience, social withdrawal, and stigma resistance. The total scores range from 29-116. The higher scores on the ISMIS indicates more severe internalized stigmatization.
