Abstract
Transforming relapse and instilling prosperity (TRIP) is a ward-based intervention program that aims to decrease treatment noncompliance and relapse rate by improving insight and health during the visits to the acute psychiatric care of clients with schizophrenia.
Participation to TRIP using the strategies learned from illness management, including knowledge enhancement, behavioral tailoring, relapse prevention development, cognitive behavioral technique, and related coping skills (Mueser et al., 2002) helps the clients adhere to treatment recommendations and minimize relapses. Moreover, TRIP is aimed at redesigning or reestablishing the clients’ goal-driven healthy lifestyle. By learning how to manage the illness, the participants can be further reinforced to take part in their respective occupations.
