ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
The purpose of this study was to examine whether Symptom Management Module-Korean Brief Version(SMM-B) is effective as a psychosocial treatment of the inpatients with chronic schizophrenia. We also questioned which of demographic and clinical characteristics could be predictors of differential treatment response.METHODS:
The subjects were composed of 30 inpatients with chronic schizophrenia, who were trained with weekly session of SMM-B for 5 weeks. Before and after the training, the level of psychopathology, knowledge about schizophrenia were assessed as dependent variables by using Clinical Global Impression(CGI) and Scale to Assess Unawareness of Mental Disorder(SUMD).RESULTS:
Overall, patients showed improvement over the treatment period on psychopathology as well as knowledge about psychosis. Total scores of SUMD were changed from 16.9+/-4.0 before training to 12.9+/-4.2 after training(p<0.01) and scores of CGI were improved from 3.7+/-0.9 to 2.8+/-0.8 (p<0.01). However age, gender, years of education, age of onset, duration of illness, duration of admission, numbers of psychiatric admission, and clinical status evaluated by CGI were not correlated with un-awareness of psychosis.CONCLUSION:
These results suggest that SMM-B could be a reliable method to improve self-awareness of psychosis in patients with chronic schizophrenia and one of important elements in rehabilitation.
