| Objective:To study the effectiveness of open management and rehabilitation training on patients with chronic schizophrenia. Methods: 80 chronic schizophrenia patients were divided into two groups with 40 cases in every group. The patients in control group received half-open management, while those in the training group were given totally open management and rehabilitation training. They were accessed with positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS), activity of daily living scale (ADL), and social disability screening schedule (SDSS) before and after the treatment. Results:No significant difference in PANSS, SDSS and ADL was found between two groups before the training, but SDSS and ADL scores in training group were significantly lower than in control group after training (P<0.01), and PANSS scores in training group were significantly lower than in control group (P<0.01). The negative syndrome scores and general pathology scores in training group were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.01). Conclusion:Open management and rehabilitation training can improve negative symptoms,social function,self-care ability, and the quality of life of the patients with chronic schizophrenia. |
