Abstract
Objective To explore the efficacy of periodical rehabilitation directive nursing in schizophrenic patients during recovery. Methods 80 outpatients of schizophrenia during recovery were randomly divided into two groups. All the subjects were treated with effective anti-psychotics. The study group ( n = 40) were treated with periodical rehabilitation directive nursing once a month for half a year; the control group ( n =40) were given with general health educations. The two groups were tested with the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) and Social Disability Screening Schedule (SDSS) before intervention and after half a year of intervention. The data of two groups were compared. Results Compared with control group, the total scores of BPRS and SDSS, and the factors' scores of occupational functions, social activity, family duty and life ability in the study group were significantly decreased (P ＜ 0. 05 ). The treatment dependence and social activity participation in study group were superior to those in the control group ( P ＜ 0. 05), while the accident event incidence was lower(P ＜0. 05). The ratio of re-work in the study group was higher but the re-onset rate in half a year was lower than that of the control group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusions Periodical rehabilitation directive nursing in schizophrenic patients during recovery has showed better efficacy. It was important in controlling illcondition, improving treatment dependence and social function, decreasing incidence of accident event.
