ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the impact of the systematic social skills training on recovery of chronic schizophrenia patients with negative symptom and social skills defects.Methods A total of 82 cases of long -term hospitalized patients with chronic schizophrenia were randomly divided into intervention group and control group by digital table,41 cases in each group.The two groups received psychiatric routine therapy and nursing,and general entertainment therapy,and systemic social skills training was conducted in the intervention group for 12 weeks.PANSS and SSC were respectively used to evaluate the two groups before and after the intervention.Results After 12 weeks of systematic social skills training,the total score of SSC[(24.5 ±4.5)points]in the intervention group was apparently lower than that in the control group[(29.2 ±5.2)points],and the difference was statistically significant(t =3.212, P 0.05).Compared with before intervention,in the negative symptom table,the differences of total score N2,N3,N4,N6 had statistically significant differences(t =4.533,5.413,4.501,4.668,all P <0.01).Conclusion The systematic social skills training can greatly promote chronic schizophrenia patients with negative symptom and social skills defects,improve their social skills and life qualities.
