Individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) often experience isolation and poor health, but normalized social opportunities aid recovery. This study aimed to determine social dance's feasibility and effects on mood, functional mobility, and balance confidence in 12 people with SMI. Participants danced once per week in 1-hour lessons for 10 weeks. Before and after lessons, participants were evaluated for gait velocity and with one-leg stance, Timed Up and Go, and 6-minute walk tests. Participants self-completed Beck Depression II and Beck Anxiety Inventories and the Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale. Posttesting included an exit questionnaire assessing participant experiences. Participants significantly improved on the Timed Up and Go, (p = 0.012, effect size = 0.68), and demonstrated nonsignificant improvements in anxiety, depression, and balance confidence (effect sizes of 0.41, 0.54, and 0.64, respectively). Participants reported enjoying classes, and interest to continue. Social dance is feasible and may benefit mobility for those with SMI.
患有严重精神疾病（SMI）的个体常常经历孤立和健康不佳的状况，但正常化的社交机会有助于康复。本研究旨在确定社交舞蹈对12名患有严重精神疾病的人的可行性及其对情绪、功能性移动能力和平衡信心的影响。参与者每周参加一次为时1小时的课程，共持续10周。在课程前后，对参与者进行步态速度评估，并进行单腿站立、定时起立行走测试和6分钟步行测试。参与者自行完成贝克抑郁量表第二版、贝克焦虑量表以及特定活动平衡信心量表。测试后包括一份评估参与者体验的退场问卷。参与者在定时起立行走测试中显著改善（p = 0.012，效应量 = 0.68），并且在焦虑、抑郁和平衡信心方面表现出不显著的改善（效应量分别为0.41、0.54和0.64）。参与者表示喜欢这些课程，并表示有继续参加的意愿。社交舞蹈对患有严重精神疾病的人来说是可行的，并且可能有益于其移动能力。
