An evaluation of a rehabilitation workshop.
Staff awareness of the steps involved in rehabilitation was assessed before and after a multidisciplinary workshop concerned with the aims, methods and principles of rehabilitation in psychiatry. Results were compared with similar assessments derived from a matched control group which was not exposed to any educational programme. The data suggest severe limitations in staff performance on the rehabilitation problem solving task which was used. Performance was not improved by the workshop, and the limitations of staff opinion as measures of the educational value of the workshop were clearly demonstrated. These results are consistent with other findings, and demonstrate the need to evaluate educational programmes provided in the Health Services.
