ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of the enhanced external counterpulsation （EECP） combined with drug on social function and efficacy in patients with depressive episodes， so as to provide references for the treatment of depressive episodes. MethodsA total of 66 hospitalized patients who was in hospital at department of psychiatry of the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University， met the criteria of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders，fifth edition（DSM-5） diagnosis of depressive episode or bipolar disorder depressive episode from May 2019 to March 2020 were included by simple random sampling. The participants were divided into study group （n=36） and control group （n=30） according to the random number table method. Both groups received conventional drug treatment， and the study group recieved the EECP intervention at same time. The Depression symptoms and social function were assessed before and after treatment by using Hamilton Depression Scale-24 item （HAMD-24） and Sheehan Disability Scale （SDS）. Treatment efficacy of the two groups was compared. ResultsAfter the intervention， the HAMD-24 and SDS scores in both groups were lower than those before treatment， the differences were statistically significant （t=8.149， 5.791， 8.016， 3.488， P˂0.01）. And the SDS score of the study group was siginficantly lower than that of the control group （t=-3.008， P<0.05）. The total effective rate of treatment in the study group was higher than that of the control group， and the difference was statistically significant （90.63% vs. 63.33%， χ²=8.725， P˂0.05）. ConclusionEECP therapy combined with drug has better efficacy on the patients with depressive episodes， and it can improve social function effectively.
ABSTRACT
BackgroundThe improvement of social function in patients with schizophrenia is an important part of their rehabilitation， and peer support services， as a rehabilitation method， may be of great significance to improve the social function of patients with schizophrenia. ObjectiveTo explore the influence of peer support service on the daily living ability and social function of patients with chronic schizophrenia， and to provide references for promoting the rehabilitation of patients with chronic schizophrenia. MethodsA total of 100 patients with chronic schizophrenia who were hospitalized in The Third People's Hospital of Tianshui from January 1 to December 31， 2020 and met the diagnostic criteria of the International Classification of Diseases， 10th edition （ICD-10） were selected as the study objects， and they were divided into the control group and the study group with 50 cases each by random number table method. Patients in both groups received routine treatment and nursing care， on this basis， the study group received peer support service once or twice a week for 12 weeks， and the control group received the same peer support service at the end of the study. Before and at the 1st， 2nd， 4th， 8th and 12th week of the treatment， Activity of Daily Living Scale （ADL） and Social Disability Screening Schedule （SDSS） were used to evaluate the activities of daily living and social function of the two groups.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To understand the effects of paliperidone palmitate (PP) long-acting injection on hospitalization, psychiatric symptoms, individual and social function of community patients with schizophrenia.Methods:From March 2021 to September 2022, 239 patients with schizophrenia in the community of Zhongshan city were treated with PP injection in a 1-month dosage form for 1 year.The hospitalization rate was compared before and after the treatment.The brief psychiatric rating scale (BPRS), modified overt aggression scales(MOAS), clinical global impressions-severity(CGI-S), and personal and social performance scale (PSP) were used to evaluate psychiatric symptoms and personal social function at baseline, at the end of the 8th week, the end of the 6th month and the end of the 12th month after treatment.Repeated measurement analysis of variance was used to compare the results at different times of treatment, and Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting treatment by SPSS 26.0.Results:One year after treatment the number of hospitalization was lower than that before (0(1) times, 0(0) times)( Z=-4.43, P<0.01), and the hospitalization days was lower than before (43(83.3) days, 0(0) days)( Z=-8.65, P<0.01) for the schizophrenic patients.The total BPRS score for schizophrenic patients decreased from (45.3±9.2) to (27.5±9.0) after 1 year of treatment( χ2=465.20, P<0.01), and the external aggressive behavior score was lower than the baseline score (1(7), 0(0))( F=308.36, P<0.01). The total effective rates were 30.5%(73/239), 77.4%(185/239) and 81.6%(195/239) after 8 weeks, 6 months and 1 year of treatment, respectively.The impairment in the four aspects of personal and social functioning were improved to varying degrees (all P<0.01). The severity of the disease was reduced 1 year after treatment.And the proportions of partial to very severe, moderate, none or mild were 10.0%(24/239), 56.5%(135/239), and 33.5%(80/239). Ordinal logistic regression analysis showed that younger age at treatment ( β=-0.08, OR=0.93, 95% CI=0.87-0.99) and older age at first onset ( β=0.07, OR=1.07, 95% CI=1.01-1.14) were associated with better treatment outcomes. Conclusion:Long-term injection of paliperidone palmitate can effectively improve the mental symptoms and individual social function of community patients with schizophrenia.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of horticultural therapy on social function of elderly inpatients with cognitive dysfunction.Methods:Ninety inpatients with cognitive dysfunction who met the diagnostic criteria of ICD-10 were randomly divided into horticultural research group and control group, with 45 patients in each group.Finally, totally 82 completed the test with 41 in each group.Patients in the two groups were both given drug therapy according to clinical symptoms.At the same time, patients in the research group were given horticultural therapy 3 times a week, 90 minutes each section, for 12 weeks.Scale of social function in psychosis inpatients(SSPI) was used to assess the social function of the patients in the two groups were at baseline, 4, 8 and 12 weekends of the treatment.SPSS 25.0 software was used to conduct chi-square test and independent sample t-test for demographic data of the two groups, and repeated measures ANOVA was performed for SSPI score. Results:The results of repeated measure analysis of variance showed that the group main effect ( F=7.226, F=13.428, F=24.817, F=19.793) and interaction effect between time and group were all statistically significant ( F=29.644, F=42.937, F=53.246, F=67.215)(all P<0.01) in daily living ability (factor Ⅰ), mobility and interaction (factor Ⅱ), social activity skills score (factor Ⅲ) and total score.Simple effect analysis showed there were no statistically significant differences in each factor score and total score between the two groups at the baseline ( P>0.05), and there were statistically significant differences in each factor scores and total score at the end of the 8th weekend ((9.95±2.41), (10.39±3.38), (6.56±3.24), (26.90±7.88) vs (8.10±2.45), (6.88±3.48), (2.81±2.50), (17.78±6.96))and 12th weekend((10.27±2.16), (11.61±3.07), (7.88±3.08), (29.76±7.40) vs (7.56±2.41), (5.78±3.21), (2.34±2.02), (15.68±6.24)) (all P<0.01). The pair-to-pair comparison within the group showed that the differences in factor Ⅱ, factor Ⅲ and total score of the research group at the end of the 12th weekend ((11.61±3.07), (7.88±3.08), (29.76±7.40)) were higher than those at the baseline((8.59±3.93), (4.56±3.32), (22.02±8.35)), 4th weekend((9.07±4.14), (5.12±3.35), (23.59±8.51)), and 8th weekend((10.39±3.38), (6.56±3.24), (26.90±7.88))(all P<0.05). Factor Ⅰ (10.27±2.16) showed a statistically significant difference compared with the baseline (8.88±2.65) and 4th weekend (9.39±2.63)(both P<0.05). All the scores showed an upward trend. Conclusion:Horticultural therapy can improve the social function of elderly inpatients with cognitive impairment.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effects of rehabilitation education guided by the information-motivation-behavior (IBM) model on knowledge, attitude and practice in patients with schizophrenia.Methods:The clinical data of 109 patients with schizophrenia who received treatment in Taizhou Second People's Hospital from January 2020 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into study group ( n = 59) and control group ( n = 50) according to different intervention methods. The control group was treated with routine health education, and the study group was treated with IBM model-induced knowledge, attitude and practice intervention. After 3 months of intervention, the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale, the Morisky self-reported Adherence Questionnaire score, Attentional Control Scale, Family Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection, Resolve Scale, and the Personal and Social Performance Scale scores were compared between the two groups. Results:After intervention, positive symptom score, negative symptom score, and total Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale score in the study group were (10.15 ± 2.20) points, (11.49 ± 2.38) points, and (64.22 ± 9.40) points, respectively, which were significantly lower than (13.68 ± 2.71) points, (14.72 ± 2.45) points, (72.57 ± 9.58) points in the control group ( t = 7.50, 6.96, 4.58, all P < 0.001). After intervention, the Morisky self-reported Adherence Questionnaire score in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(1.09 ± 0.27) points vs. (1.45 ± 0.39) points, t = 5.66, P < 0.001]. Attentional Control Scale, Family Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection, Resolve Scale and the Personal and Social Performance Scale scores in the study group were (62.20 ± 7.31) points, (11.26 ± 2.24) points and (52.02 ± 5.50) points, respectively, which were significantly higher than (54.75 ± 6.68) points, (9.80 ± 2.13) points, (48.78 ± 5.31) points in the control group ( t = 5.51, 3.46, 3.11, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Information-motivation-behavior model-guided knowledge, attitude and practice intervention can remarkably improve the mental state of patients with schizophrenia, improve attention control and medication adherence, and thereby improve their family function and social function.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the effects of group interpersonal psychotherapy （IPT） on cognitive and social function in patients with first-episode schizophrenia， and to provide references for appropriate psychological treatment for the patients. MethodsA total of 62 patients with first-episode schizophrenia who met the diagnostic criteria of International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10） and were admitted to the Third People's Hospital of Foshan from January to December 2021 were selected as the study objects. And patients were divided into study group and control group according to random number table method， each with 31 cases. Both groups were treated with risperidone for 8 weeks， based on this， study group received group IPT. Before and after 8 weeks of treatment， Positive and Negative Syndrorne Scales （PANSS）， Wisconsin Card Sorting Tests （WCST） and Personal and Social Performance Sale（PSP） were adopted to assess the patients' psychiatric symptoms， cognitive function and social function. ResultsAfter 8 weeks of treatment， there was no significant difference in PANSS scores between the two groups （t=0.296， P>0.05）. The WCST total number of responses in the study group was larger than that in the control group， the number of perseverative errors and non-perseverative errors were smaller than those in the control group， and PSP score of the study group was higher than that of the control group， with statistically significant differences （t=0.398， 2.609， 0.523， 0.381， P<0.05 or 0.01）. ConclusionGroup IPT may have no significant efficacy on alleviating the symptoms of patients with first-episode schizophrenia， but it may help improve the cognitive and social function in patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To correlate serum homocysteine (Hcy) level with psychiatric symptoms and social ability in patients with schizophrenia.Methods:A total of 143 patients with schizophrenia who received treatment in the Third Hospital of Quzhou from January 2018 to January 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into abnormal Hcy group (Hcy ≥ 10) μmol/L, n = 46) and normal Hcy group (Hcy < 10 μmol/L, n = 97) according to different serum Hcy levels. Baseline data, the scores of the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), and the Substance Dependence Severity Scale (SDSS) were compared between the two groups. The correlation between serum Hcy level and psychiatric symptoms and social ability was analyzed using the Pearson correlation analysis. Results:PANSS total score and BPRS total score were (77.86 ± 8.37) points and (94.47 ± 9.36) points, respectively in the abnormal Hcy group, and (74.37 ± 7.94) points and (90.35 ± 9.26) points, respectively in the normal Hcy group. There were significant differences in PANSS total score and BPRS total score between the two groups ( t = 2.41, 2.47, both P < 0.05). SDSS total score was significantly higher in the abnormal Hcy group than in the normal Hcy group [(11.75 ± 2.38) points vs. (10.53 ± 2.28) points, t = 2.88, P < 0.05]. Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum Hcy level was positively correlated with PANSS positive subscale score ( r = 0.73, P < 0.001), general mental symptom score ( r = 0.43, P = 0.032) and PANSS total score ( r = 0.53, P = 0.027), but it was not correlated with PANSS negative symptom score ( P > 0.05). Serum Hcy level was positively correlated with BPRS excitement subscale score ( r = 0.42, P = 0.037) and hostility subscale score ( r = 0.37, P = 0.047), but it was not correlated with anxiety, blunted affect, unusual thought content subscale scores and BPRS total score (all P > 0.05). Conclusion:Serum Hcy level is correlated with psychiatric symptoms and social ability in patients with schizophrenia. The higher the level of Hcy, the more severe the psychiatric symptoms, and the higher the degree of social disability.

ABSTRACT
Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a commonly seen functional bowel disorder in clinical practice. Previous researches demonstrated that early adverse life events (EALs) were associated with the development of IBS. However, there are few researches focused on this field in China. Aims: To explore the effect of childhood abuse, a type of EALs, on the development of IBS in adults. Methods: Fifty-six IBS patients and 50 healthy subjects in Tongji Hospital of Tongji University from Oct. 2017 to Apr. 2018 were enrolled. The EALs and quality of life of these two groups were evaluated using Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and the MOS 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) scale. Furthermore, Irritable Bowel Syndrome Severity Scoring System (IBS-SSS), SF-36 and Irritable Bowel Syndrome Quality Of Life (IBS-QOL) scales were compared between IBS patients with and without childhood abuse. Results: The CTQ score and incidence of childhood abuse were significantly higher in IBS group than in control group (P<0.05), while the scores of bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning and mental health in SF-36 were significantly lower in IBS group than in control group (P<0.05). Compared with patients without childhood abuse, IBS patients with childhood abuse had a higher IBS-SSS score (P<0.05); the physical functioning, general health, vitality, social functioning and mental health in SF-36 and the dysphoria, interference with activity, body image, health worry, social reaction, sexual intercourse and relationship in IBS-QOL were poorer in patients with childhood abuse than those without (P<0.05). Conclusions: Experience of EALs plays an important role in the development of IBS and might affect the symptom severity, quality of life and social function in adult IBS.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of group painting art therapy on social function rehabili-tation and quality of life of chronic schizophrenia patients. Methods Totally 104 inpatients with schizophre-nia were assigned to study group with 53 cases and control group with 51 cases by random number table method. Patients in study group received group painting art therapy intervention,medication and other reha-bilitation activities. While the patients in control group were only given medication and other rehabilitation activities. All patients in both groups received positive and negative symptoms scale(PANSS),schizophrenia quality of life scale(SQLS) and scale of social-skills for psychiatric inpatients(SSPI) before and after the in-tervention. The results were analyzed by independent sample t test. Results Before treatment,there were no significant differences of the total scores and the dimensional subscores of PANSS,SQLS and SSPI between the study group and control group( all P>0. 05). Compared with control group,the difference score between pre-test and post-test of PANSS ((12. 26±6. 87) vs (5. 11±3. 11),t=13. 11,P<0. 01) and negative symp-tom ((-7. 96±5. 44) vs (-2. 82±3. 47),t=-12. 30,P<0. 01),score of SQLS ((27. 45±12. 22) vs (2. 41 ±10. 68),t=-11. 11,P<0. 01) and score of SSPI((-20. 40±8. 10) vs (-0. 94±8. 01),t=12. 31,P<0. 01) in study group changed statistically(all P<0. 01). Conclusion These results suggest that group painting art therapy intervention can improve the negative symptoms,the quality of life and the recovery of social function in patients with chronic schizophrenia.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) information related to radical prostatectomy (RP) is valuable for prostate cancer (PC) patients needing to make treatment decisions. We aimed to investigate HRQOL change in PC patients who underwent three types of RP (open, laparoscopic, or robotic) and compared their HRQOL with that of general population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients were prospectively recruited between October 2014 and December 2015. European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) and PC-specific module (PR25) were administered before surgery (baseline) and at postoperative 3 and 12 months. At each time point, HRQOL was compared, and a difference of 10 out of 0-100 scale was considered clinically significant. RESULTS: Among 258 screened patients, 209 (41 open, 63 laparoscopic, and 105 robotic surgeries) were included. Compared to baseline, physical, emotional, and cognitive functioning improved at 12 months. Role functioning worsened at 3 months, but recovered to baseline at 12 months. Pain, insomnia, diarrhea, and financial difficulties also significantly improved at 12 months. Most PR25 scales excluding bowel symptoms deteriorated at 3 months. Urinary symptoms and incontinence aid recovered at 12 months, whereas sexual activity and sexual function remained poor at 12 months. Clinically meaningful differences in HRQOL were not observed according to RP modalities. Compared to the general population, physical and role functioning were significantly lower at 3 months, but recovered by 12 months. Social functioning did not recover. CONCLUSION: Most HRQOL domains showed recovery within 12 months after RP, excluding sexual functioning and social functioning. Our findings may guide patients considering surgical treatment for PC.

Objective:To observe the effect of virtual reality on therapeutic pain in children with spastic cerebral palsy, through the profiles of the pain stress and outcome of rehabilitation treatment. Methods:From September, 2018 to June, 2019, 49 children with spastic cerebral palsy were randomly divided into control group (n = 25) and observation group (n = 24). Both groups received conventional rehabilitative treatment. The observation group wore virtual reality head display, choosing appropriate panoramic cartoon play or head control game according to their intelligence level to immerse themselves in the virtual environment. Both groups were treated five days per week for three weeks, for a total of 15 treatment days. Saliva cortisol was measured same time on the first, fifth, ninth, and 13th treatment days. They were assessed with modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), the Chinese version of Gross Motor Function Test Scale (GMFM) and Pediatric Disability Assessment Scale (PEDI) before and three weeks after treatment. Results:The cortisol levels significantly increased on all the treatment days in both groups (|t| > 3.502, P < 0.05). On the fifth, ninth, and 13th treatment days, the cortisol level was lower in the observation group than in the control group (t > 2.224, P < 0.05). After treatment, the MAS score decreased (|Z| > 2.636, P < 0.01), and the scores of PBS and PEDI increased (|Z| > 3.629, P < 0.001) in both groups; the scores of PBS and PEDI were higher in the observation group than in the control group (|Z| > 2.000, P < 0.05) Conclusion:Virtual reality is helpful to alleviate the pain stress in children with spastic cerebral palsy, and it is helpful to improve the effect of rehabilitation treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the rehabilitation effect of participating in the subsistence activity in the basicneeds model on the community patients with mental disorders.@*Methods@#A total of 70 patients with mental disorders were enrolled in the Basicneeds Mental Health Development Research Program from June 1st, 2015 to December 1st, 2015 were enrolled. They were divided into research group (n=35) and control group (n=35). The research group received subsistence activity intervention in the basicneeds model for 12 months on the basis of the original drug therapy, whereas the control group only received conventional drug therapy. The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Scale Ⅱ (WHO-DAS Ⅱ) and Gross Assessment of Functioning (GAF) were adopted for assessment.@*Results@#The total WHO-DAS Ⅱ score, getting along with others, and communal participation in research group ((57.40±23.59), (7.43±4.15) and (9.97±4.99) were significantly lower than those in control group (74.17±22.14), (11.03±5.12) and (14.09±4.43). The D-value of GAF score before and after intervention in research group(11.37±6.19) was higher than that in control group (3.20±5.38). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that high family annual income (β=3.412, OR=30.325, 95%CI=1.634-562.883) and WHO-DAS Ⅱ score (β=-0.068, OR=0.934, 95%CI=0.884-0.987) were the influence factors of the social functional recovery.@*Conclusion@#Under the premise of drug therapy, the subsistence activity in the basicneeds model can outstandingly improve the social functions of patients with mental disorders and reduce the disability degree.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore social function of long-term hospitalized patients with stable schizophrenia and its influential factors to provide scientific evidence for improving social function in long-term hospitalized patients with schizophrenia. Methods A total of 75 long-term hospitalized patients with stable schizophrenia were enrolled. The Social Functional Rating Scale (SFRS), Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Insight and Treatment Attitude Questionnaire (ITAQ), Rating Scale for Extrapyramdal Side Effects (RSESE) and MATRICS (Measurement and Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia) Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) were used to assess social function, clinical symptoms and cognitive function of patients. Bivariate correlation analysis and linear regression were used to examine the correlations between social function and clinical symptoms as well as cognitive function. Results The average score of SFRS was (53.6 ±9.3). Linear regression analysis showed that negative symptom of PANSS (B= 0.322, P=0.009), speed of processing (B=-0.428, P<0.001), working memory (B=-0.191, P=0.020)and RESES (B=0.918, P=0.002) were significantly associated with social function. The Sobel test showed significant indirect effects between negative symptom and social function, which were significantly mediated by working memory (Z=3.367, P<0.001) and speed of processing (Z=1.995, P=0.046). Conclusion Social function of long-term hospitalized patients with stable schizophrenia is influenced by negative symptom, speed of processing, working memory and extrapyramdal side effects. There is a mediating effect between PANSS negative symptoms and SFRS in working memory and processing speed.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the influence of duration of untreated psychosis (DUP)on cognition and social function in first-episode drug-na?ve schizophrenia. Methods Ninety-three first-episode drug-na?ve schizophrenic were enrolled as the schizophrenia group and 93 normal people served as the control group. The Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale (PANSS) were used to assess the degree of mental symptoms. The Matrics Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) was used to evaluate the cognitive function. Personal and Social Performance Scale (PSP) and the Global Assessment Function Scale (GAF) were used to evaluate the social function. Result There were significant differences in scores of Trail Marking Test, Symbol Coding test, Category Fluency test, Stroop color word test, Continuous Performance Test, Spatial Span test, Brief-Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised (HVLT-R), Brief-Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised (BVMT-R) and Maze test between the schizophrenia group and the control group (all P<0.05). There were significant differences in scores of GAF and PSP between the schizophrenia group and the control group (all P<0.05). DUP was negatively related to the score of HVLT-R2 (r=-0.265, P=0.010) or BVMT-R3 (r=-0.328, P=0.001). DUP was negatively related to the scores of GAF score(r=-0.292,P=0.005)or PSP score(r=-0.397,P<0.001). Conclusion There are social function impairment and a wide range of cognitive function impairment in the first-episode drug-na?ve schizophrenic. The length of the DUP is associated with the severity of the social functional and cognitive functional impairment.

Objective To investigate the status quo of the cerebral injury in patients with acute stress disorder (ASD) and the impact of family function,mental toughness,and the characteristics of brain lesions on it.Methods A total of 349 patients were enrolled from North China University of Science and Technology affiliated hospital neurology department and neurosurgery department from May 2016 to November 2016 and they were tested with Stanford Acute Stress Reaction Questionnaire (SASRQ),the family function assessment scale (APGAR),Chinese version of mental toughness scale (CD-RISC).Results 349 cases of patients with SASRQ score (57.21±44.97),8 to 39 160 people (45.8％),40 to 56 85 people (24.4％),57 to 150 104 people (29.8％).The results showed that whether the hemiplegia (β=-0.030),family function (β=-0.032),mental toughness (β=0.886),disturbing degree (β=0.052),bad days (β=0.060)were picked in the regression equation (P＜0.05).Conclusion There were obvious acute stress symptoms in patients with brain injury.The individuals who have family dysfunction,the worse the psychological resilience and the higher the disturbance degree of the patients with hemiplegia,may be likely to get acute stress disorder.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of comprehensive intervention on social function and quality of life of patients with bipolar disorder (BD) in maintenance treatment period.Methods A total of 83 patients with BD were assigned into intervention group (n=41) and control group (n=42).Based on the original drug treatment,the intervention group was given comprehensive intervention,including BD health education,drug self-management,serf-monitoring of symptoms,interpersonal skills,coping and relaxation skills,learning to seek help from medical staff and others.The control group was treated with simple drug therapy.Before grouping,at the end of the third month and twelfth month,Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS),Hamilton Depression Scale 17 items (HAMD17),Social Disability Screening Schedule (SDSS),Short Form 36 items Health survey Questionnaire (SF-36) were assessed.Results There were no differences in YMRS,HAMD,SDSS total score between the two groups before grouping(P＞0.05).The score of YMRS in the intervention group ((0.59±1.45) was lower than that in the control group(2.07±3.87) at the end of the 12th month,the difference was statistically significant (P=0.024).The score of SDSS in the intervention group (1.63± 1.77,0.78± 1.78) were statistically lower than that in control group (3.57± 1.78,2.74± 1.27) at the end of the 3th and 12th month(P＜0.01).There were statistically differences between the two groups in rolephysical(RP) (t=2.858,P =0.005),role-emotional (RE) (t =2.956,P =0.005),social function (SF) (t =4.163,P＜0.01),vitality (VT) (t =5.150,P＜ 0.01),mental health (MH) (t =2.830,P=0.007),general health (GH) (t=4.055,P＜0.01),difference in reported health transition (HT) (t=-2.092,P=0.042)at the end of 3th month.The differences were statistically significant in RE (t =3.290,P =0.001),SF (t =2.876,P =0.006),VT(t=5.831,P＜0.01),MH(t=4.839,P＜0.01),GH(t=3.752,P＜0.01) at the end of 12th month between the two groups.Conclusion On the base of medicine treatment,comprehensive intervention can effectively improve the social function and life quality of patients with BD in maintenance treatment period.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the efficacy of group cognitive behavioral therapy for improving depressive symptoms and social functional in patients with major depressive disorder.Methods A total of 160 patients with major depressive disorder were randomly divided into intervention group (n=80) and control group (n=80).Intervention group was treated with conventional antidepressants combined with group cognitive behavioral therapy.Control group was treated with one conventional antidepressants.All participants were assessed with Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD)and Scale of Social function of Psychosis Inpatients (SSFPI) before and 8 weeks after the treatment.Results After 8 weeks treatment,the scores of HAMD (14.76±9.48) was significantly reduced and the scores of SSFPI(30.09±4.34) were significantly increased in intervention group compared with the baseline ((37.91± 10.58),(12.40±2.56),all P＜0.01).The scores of HAMD were significantly lower and the scores of SSFPI were significantly higher in intervention group than that in control group((20.71±7.85),(22.63±3.63),all P＜0.01).Conclusion Group cognitive behavioral therapy is effective for major depressive disorder patients by reducing depressive symptom and improving social function.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To build a social aging scale for healthy people,and get the accuracy and feasibility of the scale to judge the aging of healthy people on the basis of the empirical research.Methods:Stratified random sampling was conducted according to the nine different age groups,and the age-related social function information was collected for healthy people by using the scale,which was made in our own plant;the distribution of the score,the correlations between the score and age or telomere length were analyzed by statistical software.Results:A total of 2 297 subjects were collected for the analysis.The ratio of male to female was 0.8:1.Social function of aging score was in the range of 3.00-12.90;aging score of personal ability was in the range of 1.00-4.45;aging score of social participation was in the range of 1.00-4.52;and aging score of organizational communication was in the range of 1.00-5.00.The correlation coefficient of aging scores with age was 0.696 (P＜0.001).The result of telomere length showed that the relative telomere length was 1.056±0.261.The telomere length in different groups were significantly different (F=35.803,P＜0.001).The telomere length was negatively correlated with aging (r=-0.964,P＜0.001) and social function of aging (r=-0.857,P＜0.001),respectively.Conclusion:The scores of age-related social function,personal ability,social participation,and organizational communication are increased with age.The telomere length is negatively correlated to aging score.The scale is applicable to measure social function of aging,which can provide reference for evaluation of the comprehensive of aging.
