Objective:To explore the application of Maslow's hierarchy of needs in rehabilitation of first-episode schizophrenia.Methods:Eighty cases of first-episode schizophrenia were randomly divided into two groups,40 cases in each group.The patients in observation group were guided by Maslow's hierarchy of needs according to different needs of different stages,and nursing intervention was given to meet patients' physical and psychological needs;patients in control group were given routine psychiatric nursing.The scores of PANSS,NOSIE-30 and SDSS on admission,6 weeks after admission,and at discharge were assessed.Results:Six weeks after admission and at discharge,the scores of PANSS,negative symptoms,positive symptoms and general psychopathology subscale in both groups were lower than pretreatment(P<0.05,0.01),exhibiting a persistent downward trend,and more significantly in observation group than in control group(P<0.05).Six weeks after admission and at discharge,NOSIE-30 scores in both groups were higher than in pretreatment (P<0.05,0.01),exhibiting a persistent upward trend,and more significantly in observation group than in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:In the rehabilitative period of first-episode schizophrenia,using Maslow's hierarchy of needs to guide clinical nursing can enhance treatment compliance and self-care ability,improve quality of life,and promote recovery of social function of patients. |
