Social functioning in individuals with first episode psychosis: One-year follow-up study
Abstract
Background Improvement in social functioning is important for recovery in first episode psychosis (FEP). Methodology 51 individuals diagnosed with first episode psychosis were assessed for social functioning at baseline and one year follow-up. Results Significant improvement was seen in certain domains of social functioning measured by LSP scale such as communication and non-turbulence while no significant changes were observed in self-care and social contact. Conclusion At one year follow-up, partial improvement in social functioning is observed in individuals with first episode psychosis. This warrants inclusion of specific interventions to improve social functioning in the management plan of individuals with FEP.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
