The purpose of this study is to identify factors associated with psychiatric readmission among users of psychiatric day care and to examine whether organizing and adjusting day care practice and support systems based on these findings may contribute to reducing or preventing readmission. In Study 1, a retrospective observational study will be conducted among users of a psychiatric day care center to identify factors associated with readmission, including daily functioning, subjective recovery, interpersonal difficulties, and service-related characteristics. In Study 2, day care practice organized and adjusted on the basis of the findings from Study 1 will be implemented, and changes in readmission status and related outcomes before and after the intervention will be examined prospectively.

Presence or absence of psychiatric readmission.
The presence or absence of psychiatric readmission during the 1-year period before and the 1-year period after the introduction of adjusted psychiatric day care practice will be assessed. Participants with at least one psychiatric readmission during each period will be classified as yes, and those with no readmission will be classified as no. Assessment will be based on medical records.
Changes in daily functioning, subjective happiness, subjective recovery, and mental health status
Secondary outcomes will include scores on the Daily Living Functioning Scale (activity domain), the Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS), the Recovery Assessment Scale (RAS), and the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). These measures will be assessed at baseline and at 1 year after the introduction of adjusted psychiatric day care practice, and changes in scores over time will be examined. Higher scores on the Daily Living Functioning Scale (activity domain), SHS, and RAS indicate better status, whereas higher scores on the GHQ-12 indicate poorer mental health.

Intervention
Based on factors associated with psychiatric readmission identified in Study 1, the content and support system of routine psychiatric day care practice will be organized and adjusted. Specifically, the intervention will include support aimed at maintaining and improving daily functioning, individualized support to facilitate continued day care use, and adjustment of the support environment, including outreach support by staff at the study site. The intervention will be delivered by a multidisciplinary team and individually tailored within existing day care programs according to each participant s age, living background, and service use status. The intervention period will be 1 year.
Control
No separate control intervention will be used. Each participant s psychiatric readmission status during the 1 year period before the intervention will be used as a historical control for comparison.
