Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study aimed to implement a livestock-based business development project in collaboration with Agricultural Fortune (Ishikawa Lamb) and evaluate the future employment possibilities for patients with schizophrenia. This project incorporates the operational process of the sheep-rearing business, from breeding to meat processing, into the employment support activities conducted at welfare establishments and provides experiential learning on sheep-rearing to patients with mental disorders. This study includes a preliminary survey conducted to examine the effect of a one-day sheep-rearing experiential learning program on the work motivation and anxiety of people with chronic schizophrenia.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Participants were provided with an explanation for saliva collection before conducting the procedure. Thirty minutes prior to the collection, the participants were not allowed to smoke, eat, or exercise and, during the procedure, an instructor was assigned to guide them and confirm that the precautions were followed. A special saliva collection sponge (Salivette, Sarstedt) was used.26 The mouth was lightly rinsed with water and the sponge was placed in it; patients were asked to thoroughly chew it for 2 minutes to soak up the saliva. STAI was self-administered simultaneously.

Interventions/Control_1

The activity started at 8:30 AM on both days. We arrived at the experience site by bus on the intervention day and initiated the experiential learning program at 10:30 AM (Figure 2). The main activities included feeding and herding the sheep and cleaning the sheep-pens in the facility. On the control day, the participants gathered at the venue by 8:30 AM, communicated with each other, performed morning exercises, and health checks were conducted. Exercise and occupational therapy were performed in the morning and afternoon. The activity end time was 15:00 PM on both days. The survey and saliva collection were conducted twice, at 10:00 AM and 15:00 PM. All participants were assigned an employment support staff-in-charge. The burden of work was equally distributed, and the amount of work was not biased.
