Remote Cognitive Remediation Combined With Supported Education in First-Episode Psychosis: Challenging, Yet Promising

Education is an important goal in first-episode psychosis (FEP), which can be complicated by cognitive impairments. Combining cognitive remediation (CR) and supported education (SE) could improve education prospects. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of remote CR+SE in FEP, and to explore its effect on cognitive and psychosocial outcomes. Nine participants were recruited, of which four completed the intervention. Overall, they found the CR program acceptable. Reliable Change Indices revealed significant improvements for cognitive functioning and self-esteem, and participants partially or completely reached their goals. Remote CR+SE in FEP appears promising, though engagement remains a challenge.

Abstract

Education is an important goal in first-episode psychosis (FEP), which can be complicated by cognitive impairments. Combining cognitive remediation (CR) and supported education (SE) could improve education prospects. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of remote CR+SE in FEP, and to explore its effect on cognitive and psychosocial outcomes. Nine participants were recruited, of which four completed the intervention. Overall, they found the CR program acceptable. Reliable Change Indices revealed significant improvements for cognitive functioning and self-esteem, and participants partially or completely reached their goals. Remote CR+SE in FEP appears promising, though engagement remains a challenge.
