Abstract

ABSTRACT The study investigated the effect of health education on society reintegration intervention among treated and discharged psychiatric patients, Agbor and Warri Central Hospitals in Delta State. The intent of the study was targeted at using health education as a strategy to eradicate stigma, misconception and rejection against mentally ill persons and promote their acceptance recovery and successful societal reintegration. The health education intervention measure on societal reintegration involved functional recovery instruction. Three (3) research questions were raised and three (3) hypothesis were formulated and tested at 0.05 alpha level. The study adopted the quasi-experimental research design of the pre-test, post-test and control group. The population of the study consisted of 21 adults (12 males and 9 females) of the Agbor and Warri Central Hospitals. The instrument for data collection was a self-structured instrument (test). Reliability of the instrument was established using the Cronbach Alpha which yielded a reliability index of 0.87 for health education in functional recovery. The control group, Agbor Central Hospital Psychiatric Unit, while the experimental group Warri Central Hospital Psychiatric Unit were taught/instructed on the health education intervention instruction. At the end of the teaching duration of six (6) weeks, the instrument test was re-administered to both the control and experimental groups, after which the answers were marked, scored and subjected to analysis to measure the impact of the intervention on societal reintegration of participants. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the stated three (3) research questions, while the t-test were used to test the stated three (3) hypothesis at alpha level of 0.05 significance, among the three (3) stated hypothesis, 2 were rejected only 1 was retained. The analyzed result findings revealed that, there was significant improvement on their mental health recovery, acceptance and adequate societal reintegration after the intervention. Based on the findings it was recommended that for a better outcome in societal reintegration of discharged psychiatric patients, professional health educators, health education instruction and society reintegration training should be combined with the conventional hospital discharged programme/procedure.
