Computer Coding for Early Psychosis—An Innovative Pilot Study
Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
19 February 2021
Abstract
People with psychotic disorders are at higher risk of not completing an educational degree and tend to get low-wage jobs. We offered computer coding classes to 14 participants. The training was deemed feasible, acceptable, and appeared to increase their motivation for school or work, not only in computer-related domains.
Résumé
Les personnes avec un trouble psychotique sont à haut risque de ne pas terminer leur diplôme et d’obtenir des emplois sous-payés. Nous avons offert des cours de programmation informatique à 14 participants. La formation a été évaluée comme faisable, acceptable tout en semblant améliorer la motivation pour les études et le travail, et ce, pas seulement dans le domaine informatique.
