Scoping review mapping the implementation and adaptation of life skills training programmes for individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorder: contexts, frameworks, interventions and outcomes
Life skills training programmes had been reported to be implemented across diverse settings when appropriately adapted to cultural contexts and resource constraints. Most programmes combine structured learning with real-world practice, accommodate cognitive limitations through diverse teaching methods and engage families in the intervention process. Future research should focus on implementation strategies enhancing skill generalisation, addressing resource limitations in low-income and middle-income countries, and evaluating longer-term outcomes.
