Abstract

Introduction: Recovery from psychiatric illness extends beyond symptom stabilization and hospital discharge. Community reintegration involves returning to everyday community life, rebuilding relationships, resuming meaningful roles, and participating in work and social activities. This study explored the lived experiences of people with mental illness during community reintegration, focusing on challenges, coping strategies, and supportive factors. Method: A descriptive phenomenological design was used. Twelve Filipino adults with a history of psychiatric hospitalization who had been clinically stable and living in the community for at least six months post-recovery were recruited through purposive sampling. Inclusion criteria included Filipino ethnicity, Philippine residency, Filipino language proficiency, age 18 years or above, history of psychiatric diagnosis with completed treatment or recovery, and clinical stability for at least six months. Semi-structured interviews were conducted. Data saturation was reached by the tenth interview, with two additional informants confirming saturation. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi’s seven-step phenomenological method. Results: The central phenomenon, “To RISE from the Ruins,” described reintegration as a fragile yet courageous process of rebuilding life after psychiatric illness. Four themes emerged: Resistance to Stigma and Lived Adversities; Interplay with Medication and Treatment Care; Sustaining Life through Coping and Support Systems; and Evolution of Self and Social Reintegration. Conclusions: Community reintegration after psychiatric illness is influenced by psychosocial and clinical factors. Strengthening community-based mental health services, reducing stigma, and promoting holistic recovery-oriented interventions are essential to support sustained recovery, social inclusion, and well-being.

Abstract

Introduction: Older adults are vulnerable to depression as their physical, psychological, and social abilities decline with aging. This study analyzes the effect of reminiscence therapy using memory books on depression in older adults. Method: A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest and control group was used at an integrated health care center (Posbindu) for older adults with mild-to-moderate depressive symptoms (GDS-15 score 5–11). A total of 60 older adults, 30 in the intervention group and 30 in the control group, aged 60 to 70 years, were selected using purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria: active at the posbindu, able to read, write, and communicate verbally, and in good physical health. The intervention group received reminiscence therapy using a memory book, delivered in five 30-minute sessions held twice weekly over three weeks, while the control group received no intervention. Depression was measured using the GDS-15 scale before and after the five sessions, then analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank and Mann-Whitney U tests. Results: The results showed a significant decrease in depression scores (GDS-15, score range 0–15) in the intervention group, from 8.27 to 6.70 (p = 0.000), while the control group showed no significant change, from 7.63 to 7.73 (p = 0.599). Conclusions: Reminiscence therapy using memory books is effective in reducing depression among older adults at Posbindu. By guiding older adults to recall and document meaningful past experiences, this therapy fosters a sense of purpose and ego integrity, which eases the feelings of despair that underlie depressive symptoms.
