ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of a nurse-lead rehabilitation training on quality of life and psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia inpatients. Methods Totally 190 schizophrenia inpatients were divided into the intervention group (96 cases) and the control group (94 cases). In addition to rehabilitation activities which can be chosen freely, the schizophrenia in the intervention group received rehabilitation training including medication training, life skills training, social skill training and physical training, while the schizophrenia in the control group could only chose rehabilitation activities freely. The quality of life and the psychotic symptoms of the schizophrenia while enrolled and discharged were evaluated. Results No significant difference was found in the score of Schizophrenia Quality of Life Scale (SQLS) and Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) between the two groups(P>0.05)while enrolled. The scores of SQLS, psychosocial and motivation/energy in the control group were 30.22 ± 17.21, 30.22 ± 17.21 and 18.28± 9.33, while 21.41±14.63,19.76± 18.85 and 15.95± 8.80 in the intervention group one month after intervention, the difference was significant (t=-2.14,-2.19,-1.99,P<0.05). The scores of BPRS and hostile suspiciousness in the control group were 26.39 ± 6.37 and 4.11 ± 1.87 , while 23.67 ± 6.37 and 3.44± 1.26 in the intervention group one month after intervention, the difference was significant (t=-2.33,-2.54, P<0.05).
