Abstract
Schizophrenia is a group of severe mental illnesses of unknown etiology, most of which are slow or subacute in young adults. 160 adult schizophrenic patients were randomly divided into an intervention group given FACT and a control group given routine mental health follow-up. The scale includes the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Social Disability Screening Schedule Scale (SDSS), and the World Health Organization's multicultural quality of life instrument in its brief form Scale(WHOQOL-BREF) were recorded. The average scores of positive scale, negative scale, general psychopathology scale and total score in PANSS scale before intervention(baseline) of the patients in the intervention group were 24.90 ± 5.43, 17.53 ± 3.84, 38.31 ± 4.09 and 80.54 ± 6.75. After 6 months and 12 months of intervention, positive scale, negative scale, general psychopathology scale and total score of the PANSS scale in the intervention group and the total score of SDSS all decreased significantly. The WHOQOL-BREF total score was significantly improved, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The FACT intervention model has a significant effect on the rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia in the community, improves their social function, and improves their quality of life.
期刊介绍:
Neurogenetics publishes findings that contribute to a better understanding of the genetic basis of normal and abnormal function of the nervous system. Neurogenetic disorders are the main focus of the journal. Neurogenetics therefore includes findings in humans and other organisms that help understand neurological disease mechanisms and publishes papers from many different fields such as biophysics, cell biology, human genetics, neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neurology, neuropathology, neurosurgery and psychiatry.
All papers submitted to Neurogenetics should be of sufficient immediate importance to justify urgent publication. They should present new scientific results. Data merely confirming previously published findings are not acceptable.
