Research design : A descriptive correlation research design was used in this study. Subjects & Methods: Purposive sample of 151 schizophrenic patients was obtained from Mansoura University hospital psychiatric inpatient wards and outpatient. Data were collected from patients by using three tools in addition to socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, Beck depression inventory II, Social skills assessment screening scale, and Phenomenology of hallucinations scale. Results: There is a positive relation between severity of auditory hallucination, depressive symptoms and social skills deficits among schizophrenic patients . Conclusion: The results confirmed that auditory hallucination severity has effect on social skills and depressive symptoms. Recommendations : This work shows that psychiatric nurses should teach persons with schizophrenia how to employ auditory hallucination management strategies to avoid being engaged in auditory hallucinations and diminishing social connection with the real world, in order to ameliorate depressive symptoms.","PeriodicalId":473325,"journal":{"name":"Mansoura Nursing Journal (Print)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136305041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are many familial, contextual, and child-related risk factors due to externalizing behavior among children. One such risk factor is a positive link between early externalizing behavior and high levels of negative parenting, which is most likely to manifest persistent problems when children start to enter school. Various therapies are frequently employed to control externalizing behavior. These interventions are typically available to all parents in the general population as a preventive strategy and support the effectiveness of parenting programs in margining children who already demonstrate externalizing behavior. Nurses have a unique chance to collaborate with parents, teachers, and school psychologists for the aim of early identification, prevention, and intervention of externalizing behavior problems at an early childhood, which saves more significant and expensive issues in later life.
